CS Kagwe also announced that 47 people have tested positive for coronavirus with 32 of the new cases being from Mombasa. 18 of these 32 positive cases in Mombasa are from old town.

Interior CS Fred Matiang’i had earlier warned all those who are disobeying the curfew that the government will use force in order to save lives.
