Prof. Muga further explained that the school principal traveled to his home in Migori shortly after the meeting.
While at home, he is said to have sought medical attention at a local health facility after he started feeling unwell.
His condition continued to worsen while at the facility and a decision was made to refer him to another medical facility.

"He was referred to Agha Khan Hospital in Kisumu County but failed to get admission at the facility for lack of a comprehensive [health] insurance cover. He was transferred to another private hospital within Kisumu," the Health CEC reported.
The principal was found to have had the deadly virus after his death.
