NAIROBI: Kenya's President Uhuru Kenyatta has extended the country's nightly curfew to Jan. 3 as part of a raft of measures to contain the spread of COVID-19 after numbers surged in October.
"October has gone down as the most tragic month in our fight against COVID-19," Kenyatta said, adding that the positivity rate had shot up to 16% in the month, four times what it was a month earlier.
