Speaking during the government briefing on Sunday, May 3, Education Cabinet Secretary Prof George Magoha bemoaned the return of normal traffic on Nairobi roads.
Prof Magoha chided Nairobi Metropolitan Area residents for throwing care to the wind and carrying on as if the pandemic is not real.
Further, the Education CS clarified his position on reopening of schools, saying that schools are to remain closed until June 4.
However, the CS said that the decision to reopen schools will still have to be made by the national committee.
Addressing a press conference in Bungoma, the local governor Wycliffe Wangamati called for his county to categorized as a high-risk area.
Wangamati urged the government to set up a Covid-19 testing centre in Bungoma since the county has a heavy presence of cross-border trucks.
