Kenya lifts mandatory nose mask wearing

Kenya’s health ministry is now allowing people to not wear face masks in open places.
The country’s Health Minister, Mutahi Kagwe, said the inter-faith council would provide more guidelines on the resumption of services.
Kagwe noted that the changes follow a significant decline in Covid-19 infections in the country.
The government has however encouraged people attending events indoors to wear face masks and while travelling using public means of transport.
Kenya imposed mandatory mask wearing in 2020 at the height of the pandemic.
