The dusk-to-dawn curfew and containment measures put in place by the government to curb the spread of Covid-19 could soon be lifted once President Uhuru Kenyatta’s plan to reopen the country is actualised.

The Nation has learnt that following the President’s directive, committees charged with various aspects of the pandemic response started meeting on Sunday to come up with plans for reopening the country’s economic and social sectors.

According to Health boss Kagwe, if everyone took personal responsibility in the fight against the pandemic, there would be no need for any containment measures, but this has not been the case.

The Ministry of Health had earlier warned that the country should expect more infections as we wait for our peak in September.

According to public health expert Patrick Oyaro, while other countries are opening up their economies, it is not yet opportune for Kenya to do the same.
