His announcement comes amid fears of surging COVID-19 cases, with President Uhuru Kenyatta already convening a meeting between the national government and counties for Friday.
On July 20, Kenya reported 418 new COVID-19 cases after 2,474 samples were tested in the past 24 hours, pushing the country’s total tally to 13,771.
