Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta has extended a nationwide overnight Covid-19 curfew for 60 days to battle a third wave of infections in East Africa's most developed economy.
In a televised address, Kenyatta said the positive test rate hit 13 per cent in March compared to January's 2pc. “Unfortunately, it is still rising,” he said.
In other new measures to curb the spread of the virus, Kenyatta banned political gatherings for 30 days, ordered strict limits on attendance at church services and told bars and restaurants to close by 9pm.
