(KDRTV) – Kenyans are hopeful that President Uhuru Kenyatta will lift all the COVID-19 restrictions when he addresses the nation this afternoon.
The President is set to issue directives on how the country will proceed with the post-COVID-19 recovery period after flattening the curve of infections. We have reported less than 5% of infection rate since Mid August, the target which had been set by the government before totally reopening the economy.

In his address, Uhuru is expected to announce the exact date for the reopening of schools that have been closed for more than seven months now. The Ministry of Education has proposed for schools to be reopened from October 5. Education CS George Magoha recently joked that, just like the second coming of Jesus Christ, nobody knows the exact dates when schools will be reopened.
