I think they should have been kept in isolation for 21 days. The risks involved are too great.

Let's hope for the best. What will happen should one test positive later. Will they isolate a whole village?

Hio ndio shida. By the time they show symptoms they would have infected many other people, starting with family. If I were affected, I would ask to be quarantined in a facility for 21 days and ask my family to stay away if they love me.

Yep and it takes about 48 hours to get viable results.  Somebody is playing with the lives of Kenyans

What did I say?

where they were seen kissing and hugging their elated relatives.

That was despite the ministry warning that they should quarantine themselves for the next 21 days to confirm the absence of the virus.....

In the US, they have the capacity to deal with an outbreak. Our only hope is that it does not break out. If it does, it will be worse than West Africa, especially with this brazen carelessness. Why on earth would she hug and kiss when she knows what it means? They should have been held for at least 9 days before being released on the 10th day for home self quarantine.
