Speaking during a presser Health CS Mutahi Kagwe said:
THE MINISTRY OF HEALTH HAS CONFIRMED THE FIRST CORONA VIRUS CASE IN KENYA. IT WAS CONFIRMED ON 12/03/2020. THE FIRST SINCE THE OUTBREAK IN CHINA. THE CASE IS THAT OF A KENYAN CITIZEN TRAVELLING BACK HOME FROM US VIA LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM. AS FAR AS CORONA VIRUS IS CONFIRMED IT WAS QUESTION OF WHEN IT WOULD SPREAD.

HER TEMPERATURE HAS GONE DOWN, SHE IS EATING AND SHE IS BACK TO NORMAL BUT SHE CANNOT BE RELEASED AT THE MOMENT
Question is, how will this be contained?
