Addressing a press conference from Harambee House, CS Kagwe noted that one of the confirmed coronavirus patients was in a critical condition in Kilifi and there were plans to airlift him to Nairobi for further treatment.

Kilifi County Deputy Governor Gideon Saburi has also tested positive for the virus.

He was picked by state officers and forced into isolation after he refused to self-quarantine the moment he came from an international trip.

Governor Amason Kingi has resorted to self-quarantine himself, with CS Kagwe vowing to charge his deputy for going against Government’s Health Act.

Meanwhile, the government has put in some measures to contain the virus.

All international flights have been suspended, with all bars remaining close until further notice effective Wednesday 25th March.
