Kenya is extending its nightly curfew to March 12 as part of measures aimed at taming the spread of Covid-19, President Uhuru Kenyatta's office said.

In early November, Kenyatta extended the nightly curfew that was in place, and it had been due to expire on Sunday. It runs between 10pm and 4am.

A ban on political and roadside gatherings that could turn into super spreader events was also extended for another 60 days, as was a prohibition on overnight events and vigils, Kenyatta's office said in a statement.
