As the nationwide curfew and cessation of movement in selected areas in the country deadline lapses, Kenyans are eagerly waiting for the fate of the presidential directive on whether the two will either be lifted or extended.

With the recent reported cases extending to the country’s porous borders, it is not clear what the government will direct in combating the virus.
