The government plans to review security measures put in place to control the spread of Covid-19 this weekend.

Security sources have told the Nation that restrictions in some areas could be eased as others are tightened, based on current risk and projections.

The government will also determine what to do with border towns, which are emerging as problem areas.

The challenge for the Kenyan government is how to slow down the number of infections while not suppressing the economy.

"It requires us to maintain the current containment measures, but we are also evaluating how we ensure continuity of business while at the same time reducing the spread of the virus," said Dr Mwangangi.
