Following comparatively fewer cases and positive rates in recent months, the Ministry of Health has announced a relaxation of COVID-19 containment measures.
In a news conference on Friday, Health Cabinet Secretary Mutahi Kagwe revealed that Kenyans are no longer required to wear face masks in public areas.
The CS, on the other hand, stated that social distance in these settings must be preserved and congestion minimized.
CS Kagwe also urged Kenyans to continue wearing face masks during interior meetings where all attendees must have had the jab.
“All in-person indoor meetings will continue at full capacity of the venue as long as attendees are vaccinated,” he said. Face masks should be promoted for all attendance.”
The CS also declared the return of in-person worship as long as all worshippers are vaccinated, but urged the Interfaith Council to establish a slew of steps to make this possible.
“All in-person worship is to resume at full capacity as long as all the congregants and worshippers are vaccinated. The Interfaith Council is urged to develop protocols to facilitate resumption of full congregational worship with full capacity of venues where all congregants are vaccinated,” he said.
