Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital (MTRH) in Eldoret has placed one person under a 21-day monitoring period as a precaution against Ebola.
According to the hospital’s CEO Dr Philip Kirwa, the person was identified through contact tracing involving confirmed Ebola cases and placed in quarantine for monitoring.
In a statement, Dr. Kirwa clarified that quarantine or isolation does not automatically mean a person has contracted the disease.
