A health care regulator in Kenya has raided a clinic in the capital Nairobi that it accuses of selling coronavirus test kits for $30 (£24.40), local media reports say.

In a poster, the facility said the "rapid test kits" produced results within 15 minutes and did not require specialist training.

The Kenyan newspaper The Standard quotes the Kenya Association of Clinical Pathologists as confirming that the kits were counterfeit.

The shop has not responded to the accusations.
