Africa-Press<\/a> – Kenya<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>The government has extended the nationwide curfew for another 30 days to Thursday, November 4.<\/p>\n

Health Cabinet Secretary, Mutahi Kagwe, made the announcement on Monday, October 4.<\/p>\n

Kagwe, while releasing the statement, affirmed that the period would be used to vaccinate as many people as possible.<\/p>\n

He noted that the country had experienced a positive outlook on the Covid-19 positivity rate that stands at 2.7 per cent.<\/p>\n

The Head of State has been adamant in enforcing the 10pm to 4am curfew directive since the onset of the pandemic.<\/p>\n

This comes despite various pleas from a section of Kenyans urging the government to lift the curfew directive that has seen scores lose their jobs.<\/p>\n

The government, however, has been urging Kenyans to adhere to the directive stipulated by the Ministry of Health in a bid to lower the Covid-19 infections.<\/p>\n

Uhuru, in a previous address, pointed out that the measures were a vital step in the mitigation of the effects of the global pandemic.<\/p>\n

He noted that the government would be taking steps in easing the restrictions put in place as they continue to monitor the infection rates.<\/p>\n

In easing the restrictions, the Ministry of Transport allowed the Public Service Vehicles (PSVs) to resume carrying full capacity.<\/p>\n

Currently, 3,874,083 Kenyans have been vaccinated while 250,114 positive cases have been confirmed in total.<\/p>\n

The government continues its rallying call in urging Kenyans to take the jab and adhere to the Ministry of Health guidelines. The country has received a total of 6,388,920 vaccines.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
