On July 13, 2020, a COVID-19 positive case was discharged from a Nairobi hospital and traveled to Bomet County the following morning.
The patient interacted with seven other passengers during the journey aboard a South Rift Matatu.
Health officials are now appealing to the passengers to reach out to the county response team to prevent further community spread.
Bomet Governor Hillary Barchok urged the passengers to contact the county response team, saying, "We are making an appeal with the passengers who travelled to get in touch with our officer. Please reach out to our officer on this number 0726012387. You will be given instructions on what to do so that all of us are safe."
The asymptomatic patient is now in isolation at the Longisa hospital after making contact with health officials.
