Health Cabinet Secretary Mutahi Kagwe said the decision was arrived at following an assessment of compliance levels by the restaurants for the COVID-19 protocols.
"With this extension, the restaurants will be required to continue to adhere to the protocols set out," Kagwe said on Tuesday, when he released new statistics for COVID-19 status in the country.
The new cases, announced Tuesday, raises the infections tally in Kenya to 3,860 by June 16.
Health Cabinet Secretary Mutahi Kagwe said the new cases were detected from 3,255 samples tested since Monday when the last update was given by Cabinet Secretary Mutahi Kagwe.
The infection cases have been on a sharp increase in the country lately, despite tough containment measures, which include a night curfew that starts at 9pm to 4 am, and cessation of movement in Nairobi, Mombasa and Mandera Counties which have recorded high infections.
