The total coronavirus caseload in Kenya is now at 1,109.
Among the containment measure put in place in controlling the spread of coronavirus, gatherings of more than 15 people were banned.
In these gatherings, a distance of at least 1.5 metres should be maintained all the time.
Since the first case was reported in Kenya on March 12, a number of people who have defied the government’s directive on social distancing have been arrested.
