The Wajir county government has announced it will enhance preventive strategies to stop the spread of coronavirus following confirmation of the first case on Thursday. The 36-year-old Kenyan man from Garissa county was intercepted at Diif in Wajir South subcounty along with three other persons on their way back from a livestock trade trip to Mogadishu, Somalia. Tests were carried out on six people in quarantine at the Wajir KMTC and one was found positive. Speaking to the press outside his office on Friday, Governor Mohamed Abdi said the patient was asymptomatic and in stable condition. “We must therefore enforce infection prevention measures and consequently have suspended outpatient services at Wajir County Referral Hospital,” he said.
