39 children have died from an Influenza outbreak and 296 other cases reported in Nakuru.
Health CS Cleopa Mailu on Tuesday said the illness mainly affects children under the age of five.
All children with a cough and fever should visit the nearest health facility, the CS said in a statement to newsrooms.
Preliminary results from Kenya Medical Research Institute (Kemri) indicated a possible Influenza type A and B outbreak which can be mild, moderate or severe.
As a way of preventing the spread of this illness, I am urging all Kenyans to always practice respiratory hygiene. We must cover our nose and mouth with either a handkerchief or tissue paper and dispose of it appropriately, he said.
