The efficacy of the restrictions has, however, been dulled by the steep rise in the number of Covid-19 infections in recent weeks. We must exercise cautious optimism," President Uhuru told the nation in a televised address from Harambee House, Nairobi. At the time, Kenya had 2,600 Covid-19 infections. President Uhuru said experts indicated that if the country reopened without proper protocol, Covid-19 cases would hit over a million at the end of the year with over 70,000 deaths. Uhuru said that the country had to contain the infections and the number of deaths before all the Covid-19 restrictions were lifted.
