The Ministry of Health on Tuesday clarified a number of
issues regarding the reopening of eateries and restaurants and also spoke on
the possibility of reopening churches.
During a presser given by Health CAS Rashid Aman, the
ministry stated that pubs should remain closed and restaurants should strictly
observe the guidelines that were issued.
Asked about the reopening of places of worship, Dr Mwangi Kuria said the government was still working with experts who have
been modelling possible outcomes.
“We need to monitor how the disease is progressing…we are
looking at the disease pattern,” he said.
Most churches in the country have resorted to online services
while some air their sermons on selected TV stations.
