Speaking in Nairobi, the Pubs, Entertainment and Restaurants Association of Kenya (PERAK) said since the first case of Coronavirus was reported last year, the operators have borne the biggest brunt of the impact. “Unfortunately, several bars and restaurants have had to shut down because of the pandemic. The first wave of closures happened when all bars, restaurants and nightclubs were ordered shut at the beginning of the pandemic in Kenya,” said PERAK director Mike Muthami. PERAK-Nairobi Chairman Francis Mbogo noted that bars and restaurants have been forced to work single shifts instead of the previous two per day.
