Nine relatives who traveled from Nairobi to Homa Bay with empty coffin quarantined

Nine relatives who used an empty coffin and forged travel permits to travel out of Nairobi have been put on forced quarantine in Homa Bay County.

On Saturday, Health Cabinet Secretary Mutahi Kagwe said the driver of the vehicle had been confirmed to be positive. "You can see how one person's selfishness has taken the disease from Nairobi to Homa Bay. If we are not careful, this disease is going to finish us. This is not a disease for Kagwe or Uhuru. It is my disease and your disease. Stay at home and you will not infect anybody or be infected," Kagwe said.
