The Daily Nation, Kenya’s largest newspaper, tweeted footage of people escaping from the Kenya Medical Training College and wrote: “Spotted: Kenyans under quarantine at KMTC Mbagathi escape.”

“We know you and we will find you,” Kenyatta said of the escapees, according to a BBC report.

The Kenya Medical Training College was holding over 200 people “found through either contact tracing or arrested for flouting the curfew and social distancing rules,” according to the Daily Nation.

The people who escaped the facility first threw their belongings in suitcases over the wall before scaling it. They then walked away and blended in with the public.

During a 14-day quarantine, dormitories at schools and universities have been used to house those believed to be infected with the novel coronavirus, though the restricted stay at some centers has already been extended twice, according to the BBC. Over 400 people are being quarantined in Kenya, the BBC reported.

The government has been criticized for running its quarantine centers like prisons by “extending days without as much as a word with those in the center,” according to the Daily Nation. “Some centers have been singled out for not only having inhumane conditions but also exposing those quarantined to coronavirus.”

Kenya has 296 confirmed cases of the virus and 14 deaths, according the country’s Ministry of Health. The agency reported a rise in confirmed cases on Tuesday when 15 people tested positive. Only six of them were in the quarantine facilities.

Mercy Mwangangi, the chief administrative secretary for health, said this is a sign that the disease is increasingly spreading in Kenyan communities.

“We have ramped up our capacity in four-pillar testing, isolating, treating and tracing that can only become applicable when preventive measures of hand washing, social distancing and general hygiene and quarantine have failed,” Mwangangi said. “We do not want to get there. I therefore want to urge all people to continue observing these simple but very effective containment measures.”

“As we continue in this fight, we note that there are some of us who continue to disobey the measures and regulations announced by the government, and I would like to remind you that we are in a war situation, against an enemy that is not a respecter of age, status, gender, race or religion,” the secretary said.

She urged Kenyans to abide by government guidelines, which include a curfew and a ban on travel to hot spots, including to the Nairobi, the country’s capital.
