This was confirmed on Tuesday during the daily Covid-19 briefings by Dr Francis Kuria, the Head of Public Health. The proposed Covid-19 Sale of Alcoholic Drinks Rules 2020, provide that businesses, where alcohol is sold, will operate between 9am-7.30pm. The proposed rules further state that any person who consumes any alcoholic drink in a public place will have committed an offence. The proposal come after Kenyans took advantage of the partial reopening of restaurants to troop back into pubs and bars, contravening existing Covid-19 rules. Kenya has recorded an upsurge in the daily number of confirmed Covid-19 cases since the relaxation of rules.
