10 Police Officers In Rongai Quarantined In Hospital For Cholera

Ten police officers have been quarantined in a hospital in Rongai after showing cholera symptoms.

Officials said the officers were part of a team that had been camping in hostels at the Multimedia University ready for action over the Supreme Court ruling.

Police said the victims started to complain of stomach pain and diarrhea before they were rushed to Sinai Hospital where they were admitted.

Nairobi County health executive Bernard Muia said the officers had been quarantined at the hospital as further tests are run on them.

The officers had been mobilized and housed at the university to act incase any form of violence broke out, their colleagues say.

Cases of outbreak of cholera have been rampant and on increase in Nairobi because of many issues including contaminated food.
