The health centre becomes the second isolation centre after the first one was set up at the Bondo Sub-County Hospital. The announcement came after the county was thrust into the limelight following president Uhuru Kenyatta‘s revelation on Saturday that Siaya has a 10-bed capacity isolation ward with nine confirmed Covid-19 cases.
