Health Cs Mutahi Kagwe said that anyone who ignores the public health act will be prosecuted.

All persons who violate the self-quarantine requirement will be forcefully quarantined for a full 14 days at their cost and thereafter arrested and charged in accordance with the Public Health Act. This will apply to a senior government official in Kilifi who defied and refused to self-quarantine, who is now being forcibly quarantined in a facility and upon the completion of the period given by our health authorities, the official will be charged in a court of law,' Mutahi said.
