\u201cThe family contacts of the two clinicians who attended to them were put under mandatory quarantine. Samples were collected and sent to Nairobi as patient management started,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The governor noted that the results turned positive for coronavirus making them the first cases in Mandera County.The students boarded Makka Bus on March 31 from Nairobi and arrived in Mandera on April 1 and were on seats number 13 and 14.<\/p>\n

Roba urged passengers who traveled on the bus to present themselves to the nearest health facility or to self-isolate\u00a0for 21 days.<\/p>\n

Earlier, the governor said the surveillance team picked up two people who had travelled from abroad and were yet to complete the mandatory 14 days self-isolation. They were quarantined in local facilities and released after being given a clean bill of health.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
