"74 cases have been tested out of which, 3 people have
tested positive of coronavirus disease bringing the total number to 31.
“The affected counties are Nairobi, Kwale, Mombasa,
Kilifi & Kajiado," she remarked.
Kenyans who jetted back into the country and were put on
mandatory quarantine this week stated that they were yet to be tested but
Mwangangi assured that they would be tested in due time in accordance with WHO
guidelines.
Around 2000 people arrived into the country since Monday and
the government maintained that they will be quarantined for 14 days.
Asked about the 7pm-5am curfew, Mwangangi said it was
imposed because some were still not practicing social distancing.
She added that a number of people were still holding
meetings in restaurants, going to bars and holding house parties.
Government Spokesperson Cyrus Oguna asked Kenyans to adhere
to the directives issued by the President saying anyone who fails to observe
the curfew will be dealt with accordingly.
