The government has extended the nationwide curfew by 30 more days as part of measures to combat the COVID-19 pandemic.
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.
