Five Die of Rift Valley Fever in Isiolo
Isiolo County Health Chief Officer Ibrahim Alio at least five people have died from rift valley fever disease in Isiolo in the last two weeks following a reported outbreak in the county.

The five are from a total of seven who have tested positive for the disease in Isiolo south constituency.

The zoonotic disease is transmitted from animals to human beings through mosquito bite, meat eating or consuming anything from an infected animal.

According to Isiolo health chief officer Ibrahim Aliow, the disease is more life threatening than covid-19 as its killing over 70% of those who contract it.

On 18th, December, 2020, the department of health received the positive results for the 7 patients who were suspected to have contracted the disease.

According to Aliow, the affected areas include: Korbesa, Iresaboru, and Sericho among other areas.

Aliow said that his department in collaboration with the livestock and Fisheries department has dispatched health officers in the affected areas to ascertain whether the disease is from livestock or from other sources.

“My team is already on the way to the affected areas and they will prepare a report that will guide our action,” Aliow said.

Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries CEC Dr. Lawrence Mwongela, said that they are going to spray the animals in the affected areas to cut the transmission through mosquito bites.

“We are also going to vaccinate the animals in order to protect them from the deadly disease,” Mwongela added.

Mwongela said that his department is looking for about 200,000 doses of vaccines to vaccinate the animals in the region.

This comes in a time when the country is batting covid-19 pandemic amidst health workers strike.

The County Government of Isiolo, department of health services in conjunction with the National AIDS Control Council has today marked the World AIDS day in style by donating foodstuffs to persons living with HIV / AIDS in Isiolo.

Speaking at the County Commissioner's office compound during the flagging off ceremony of the foodstuffs, the Upper Eastern Regional HIV Coordinator Mr., Dennis Muriithi said that the prevalence rate for Isiolo County is at 1.6% according to the 2020 HIV estimates.
He observed that the Isiolo county prevalence rate is the highest in the Northern Frontier Counties, whereby Marsabit is 0.9 %, Garissa 0.4%,Wajir 0.2 % and Mandera 0.2 % , attributing it to modern national infrastructural projects such as the Isiolo International Airport, drug and substance abuse among the youths, several disciplined forces present in Isiolo and LAPPSET Projects e.g Isiolo-Moyale highway among others which have contributed to high number of visitors and consequently higher chances of the disease spread in the region.
” Due to COVID-19, most people and especially those living with HIV and AIDS were seriously affected both economically and emotionally and that’s why we have decided to give them food during this year's celebration instead of holding a big ceremony “Mr Muritjhi said,

Isiolo County AIDs and STI coordinator Mr. Diba Galma regretted that due to the ongoing COVID -19 pandemic, some of the HIV/AIDS patients are fearing to visit the health facilities for their drugs prompting the department to decentralize the HIV/AIDS clinics up to dispensary level for a larger coverage and forming community ARV groups who can collect drugs on behalf of the patients.
Isiolo County Commissioner Herman Shambi called upon the parents and the community to be on the lookout especially during COVID period as several cases of Youths having illegal parties have been reported in different parts of the county which he said are also avenues of contracting HIV/AIDS to the community more so the youths who are sexually active.

He regretted that some parents and guardians have abandoned their responsibility of bringing up their children but instead the parents are using much of their time on social media.
