Kenya has extended its nightly curfew by 60 days to slow the spread of Covid-19, the Interior Ministry said.

The move followed a decision by President Uhuru Kenyatta in late March to extend the 10pm to 4am curfew.

A ban on political gatherings and processions that could turn into super spreader events was also extended for 60 days, as was a prohibition on overnight events and vigils, the ministry said.
