The number of coronavirus cases in Kenya has risen to three after two more people tested positive.
Addressing the nation on Sunday, President Uhuru Kenyatta said the two new cases came into contact with the first victim; a Kenyan lady who is reported to have returned to Nairobi from the US via London.
Samples collected from them are being tested at laboratories at the Kenya Medical Research Institute (Kemri).
The Health ministry further said that 23 people of mixed nationalities who travelled with the patient were traced and advised to self-quarantine for 14 days.
Earlier on Saturday, the Judiciary issued several instructions for members in a bid to prevent spread of the virus within the country.
Chief Justice David Maraga told a press briefing that court activities will be reduced for two weeks effective Monday to allow further consultations on the matter and the design of appropriate response measures.
CJ Maraga said prisoners and remandees will not be presented to court for the two weeks.
“All conferences, workshops, colloquia and training programmes are suspended until further notice. There will be no foreign travel for the next 30 days for staff of the justice sector institutions, whether official or private, save for exceptional circumstances,” he added.
