? My source at Kakamega public health office says the patient tested +ve but is stable and responding well… He also says they are facing a bigger problem than they thought since in the villages… Quarantine means not leaving the boundaries of a home/village… “We are likely to put the whole are under mandatory quarantine”
Another source tells me the nurse and driver to the ambulance were immediately put to mandatory quarantine immediately they landed
STAY SAFE
