Four State House officials have tested positive for coronavirus, marking the first publicly-acknowledged Covid-19 infections at the top national government office.
State House spokesperson Kanze Dena said the identities of the four will remain concealed as they seek treatment at the Kenyatta University Teaching, Referral and Research Hospital in Kiambu County.
State House has rolled out un-disclosed protocols for all visitors and staff residing outside the compound in an effort to curb more infections, she said.
RE-OPENING THE ECONOMY
The infections at State House come on the day several public institutions including courts resumed normal operations that were disrupted in March due to state directives meant to curb spread of the virus.
The government also closed bars and schools to slow down infections after Kenya reported its first case on March 12.
