She disclosed that a second technician at the same facility also tested positive. These two technicians represent the growing list of front-line medical workers that have contracted the virus since March 17 when Mombasa's first case was reported. Most of them have recovered and there is no report of death from the virus among health workers. On May 9, Khadija Shikely, the Mombasa Chief Officer in charge of Medical Services, admitted that at that time, two doctors and eight nurses had tested positive for the virus. Kahiga added that the county government has booked two hotels to accommodate health workers suspected to have been exposed to people who tested positive.
