Health Cabinet Secretary Mutahi Kagwe lifted Covid-19 restrictions in March this year. The mandatory wearing of masks and ban on gatherings were relaxed. This followed a significant drop in the Covid-19 prevalence rate. The World Health Organisation set the safety threshold at five per cent.
Yet even though the restrictions were lifted, Kagwe advised Kenyans to exercise care and warned that the country was not yet out of the woods. By last month, the prevalence rate had dropped to below three per cent according to statistics from the Ministry of Health.
