What are the steps being taken to ensure that there is contact tracing from Mombasa through the entire route of the deceased to Ugenya to avoid any further infections and take care of the persons who he may have come into contact with along his route; (7) Whether the Ministry has considered exhumation to allow the family to accord the departed a decent burial; and (8) What measures are being taken to ensure that the manner of treatment and handling of COVID-19 patients and suspected patients does not lead to stigmatisation and scaring patients away from seeking help."
