Kenya bans public events after first case of coronavirus
Sporting events, open-air religious meetings and ‘all events of a huge public nature’ have been suspended.
Kenya has banned all major public events after confirming its first case of the new coronavirus in a woman who had returned to the country from the United States, the health minister said on Friday.
Kenya, the richest economy in sub-Saharan Africa and a major hub for global firms and the United Nations, is the 11th country in the region to confirm a case of COVID-19, bringing its total reported cases to 39.
