Six out of seven patients who were remaining in isolation were discharged on Tuesday after turning negative, Health Executive Mohamud Adan Mohamed said. “We have flattened the curve for now but we remain vigilant considering our vulnerability as we border Somalia and the rampant movements of our people in and out of Mandera,” said Mr Mohamed. The Health CEC said the six tested negative for the second time leading to their release. Mr Mohamed attributed the success to dedication of the medical staff in Mandera in implementing the set health guidelines.
