What you need to know:
- Closure of the offices comes just days after the death of a healthcare worker who tested positive for Covid-19 last week.
- The decision to close the offices was announced to the staff through a notice signed by the County Covid-19 Coordinator.
Vihiga County health department offices have been closed for 10 days over fears that some of the health workers may have contracted Covid-19 following a recent working tour of Nakuru County.
Health Director, Dr Quido Ahindukha, said the move to close down the offices will allow room for the fumigation exercise to be undertaken.
