Dozens of Kenyans who have been in mandatory quarantine attempted to storm out of an isolation centre in the capital, Nairobi, because of what they say are unbearable conditions.
The health ministry says 225 people across the country have been infected with the virus, and people who recently entered the country before the closure of border crossings have been held in isolation in an effort to prevent further spread.
But many of them said that they are suffering deep mental and psychological anguish because of a government directive to extend further their stay in isolation.
They accused the government of holding them in prison-like facilities, with little basic services.
Minister of Health, Evanson Kimuri defended the government against allegations of mistreatment of those in mandatory quarantine
