[Ignatius Odanga/Standard]An attempted rape incident at Alupe isolation centre has sparked outrage among healthcare workers who are attending to male Covid-19 patients. County Response Team head David Mukabi said on Tuesday, male patients attempted to rape a female healthcare worker who was doing ward rounds. The former County referral medical superintendent noted that demands by patients at Alupe isolation were too much and when denied they become rowdy. “There was attempted rape of our staff in Alupe isolation centre and the matter has been picked up by authorities," Mukabi added.
