After about 30 minutes of asking for help through Lawyer Cliff Ombeta, the government of Kenya has finally responded to a likely case of Coronavirus infected person Emma Oduor who broadcasted on social media that she has been having symptoms, tried to call the govt emergency numbers that were not going through.
Nurses who were checking on the patients heard him struggle and rushed to his rescue as they attended to his injuries and counseled him.
“We told him he is young and will recover. We informed him he was not the only one who is sick and that all shall be well,” said one nurse.
Police were allowed to access the scene of crime in protective gear as officials increased surveillance to ensure safety in the facility. Isolation centers have been criticized for sending shivers down the spines of many patients since they are viewed as prisons.
