According to MTRH, the person was identified through contact tracing with confirmed cases and placed in quarantine.
In a statement, Dr. Kirwa clarified that isolation or quarantine for monitoring does not automatically mean a person is infected, explaining that individuals who may have been exposed to the virus are monitored for symptoms during the incubation period.
