Observing that a majority of confirmed cases were in Nairobi, Kilifi, Mombasa and Kwale counties, President Uhuru also announced far-reaching movement restrictions in those counties to curb the spread of Covid-19.

“There shall be cessation of all movement by road, rail or air in and out of the Nairobi metropolitan area and the counties of Kilifi, Kwale and Mombasa,” he asserted.

He revealed that the decision was taken following a meeting of the National Security Council.

“I issue these enhanced measures well aware that they will inconvenience many Kenyans. However, not doing so will lead to even greater suffering for Kenyans,” he announced.

He vowed that the government would not relent in its fight against the virus, emphasizing the global magnitude of the pandemic.

“I will go to any lawful lengths to respond to the Coronavirus,” he asserted.
