The department of Agriculture and Livestock on Wednesday issued a quarantine at Gikomora village to avoid the spread of the disease. “A team of public health officers and veterinary officers are working together to control the situation,” Mbai said. One person has been hospitalized while hundreds were treated and discharged in Murang’a county after eating meat infected with anthrax. The county government also dispatched veterinary officers to vaccinate all livestock in the village for free. They were oblivious that the meat had not been inspected by veterinary officers after the cows were slaughtered.
