In a statement released to newsrooms early Saturday evening Maina noted that the case is undergoing laboratory investigation and a conclusive report will follow.
“The county government of Kiambu is aware of reports circulating on social media regarding a suspected case of Mpox (Monkeypox) within the county. We wish to confirm that there is indeed a suspected case, which is currently under thorough laboratory investigation,” said Dr. Maina.
“We are awaiting the official lab results and will provide a comprehensive update as soon as they are available. At this stage, there is no need for alarm.”
