Nationwide curfew extended by 30 more days

Making the announcement on Monday, Health Cabinet Secretary Mutahi Kagwe said the positivity rate still remains high, hence the need to extend the containment measures.

The curfew hours remain 10pm-4am.

Other containment measures including operation hours for bars and restaurants as well as the ban on gatherings remain as previously announced.

On Sunday, 91 new infections were confirmed from a sample size of 3,435 tested in the last 24 hours, pushing the total confirmed positive cases to 250,114.
