Kenya will stop the movement of people and vehicles, but not goods, from its southern and northern neighbours from midnight.
Kenya’s President Uhuru Kenyatta announced Saturday that the country’s Covid-19 measures would be extended and its borders with Tanzania and Somalia closed.
“Among the positive cases that have been registered in the country this week, a total of 43 cases have recently crossed the border from neighbouring Somalia and Tanzania,” Kenyatta said in a televised address. Kenyatta also said the national 7pm-5am curfew would be extended until 6 June, as would a ban on entering or exiting the cities of Nairobi, Mombasa, Kilifi, Kwale and Mandera.
