"Brenda we have been referring to you as patient one because it was necessary for us to keep your details confidential but you are a special woman and a special young Kenyan because immediately you felt something was wrong, realizing what was happening in the world and without being coerced or pushed by your parents you took it upon yourself to go to Kenyatta Hospital and to tell them you were not well. We are very proud of you Brenda," the President stated.

He went on to narrate that Brenda's cooperation with the authorities was remarkable, urging other Kenyans who may be exhibiting symptoms to be proactive in getting medical attention.

The President also expressed a wish to host the two recovered patients at State House.

"For those of us who are feeling unwell, let us follow the example of these two Kenyans. They have shown us that you can come forward, isolate yourself, receive treatment and recover from this deadly virus.
