About ten doctors who are said to have contracted cholera while attending a conference at the Weston Hotel in Nairobi have been discharged.
They were discharged from the Nairobi hospital on Saturday and Sunday but two patients are still hospitalised.
According to The Star, 18 of 25 culture tests returned positive results for cholera.
According to doctors, Weston hotel should have been closed to manage a possible outbreak.
“There is a national guideline on cholera management. Weston should have been quarantined. Otherwise infections might continue and some people might go home and expose their families to infection,” said Dr Simon Kigondu, who has managed a similar outbreak in Isiolo.
However, Weston Hotel general manager Michael Nzile told journalists that they had followed Ministry of Health procedures.
