Hospital MCA Eric Wafula Mwangale has said he tested positive for the Coronavirus. Speaking in a meeting that was also attended by Devolution CS Eugene Wamalwa and Governor Patrick Khaemba, he said he contracted the virus and had to self isolate for the past one month but he is now healed. The MCA advised residents to observe the Ministry of Health guidelines and faulted politicians for being the ones who encourage flouting of the rules since they freely mingle with the public and hold various social gatherings.
He said politicians should put on hold the plans they have to hold rallies and instead spread the message of observing the health protocols. He said the symptoms he exhibited before he went for check ups included fever, headache, nausea and after visiting the doctor he got the news and was advised on how to live and medicate. of his colleagues have contracted the virus before and haven’t come out to declare their status due to fear of stigmatization.
