Problem is, she has a child who was home - Lindah Ogutu
Lindah went on to narrate that the rapid response team came to where she was and after revealing to her that she had the virus, they escorted her to Mbagathi isolation unit.
"Problem is, she has a child who was home...( 9 yrs) And that was her main worry, whether or not the baby was okay. So as the team took her to Mbagathi, another was dispatched to the baby.Meanwhile, she called a friend to take care of baby. Baby was tested, was okay. So baby was left with the friend. But here is the thing people. Guys from @MOH_Kenya have been checking on the baby EVERYDAY...Every SINGLE DAY people...since the mum was picked. And they would tell her baby is okay.
"So 14 days later, baby has zero symptoms and mum is back home. She says the only thing we need to fight is stigma.Her neighbours are afraid of her. Stay at home people.. Stay safe. And yes, my friend is okay, I am happy," she narrated.
