“I owe my healing to God. Am over 50 years and never been hospitalised before. My two grandchildren and six staff members were also positive for coronavirus,” she said.
According to the ex Nairobi Governor aspirant, she did not show any COVID-19 related symptoms but went to hospital over food poisoning.
