Experts have called for caution following President Uhuru Kenyatta’s decision to ease travel restrictions, warning that failure to adhere to safety guidelines could lead to an upsurge of Covid-19 infections. 

Yesterday, the president lifted movement restrictions imposed on Nairobi, Mombasa and Mandera, but warned that the country will revert to a lockdown with zero option should cases show an upward trend in the next 21 days.
