Kenya extends curbs as virus cases leap
19 August, 2021
Kenya will extend a night curfew and other restrictions to counter an exponential rise in Covid-19 cases, the government said Wednesday.
The East African country has seen a spike in coronavirus cases because of unbridled mass gatherings and more people flouting health guidelines, President Uhuru Kenyatta said in a statement.
More than a third of Kenya's 47 counties had recorded a positivity rate of over 20 percent in the past week, the statement said.
