It is one year since President Uhuru Kenyatta ordered the closure of learning institutions to curb the spread of Covid-19.
On March 15, last year, while issuing the directive on closure of schools, the president announced that two more persons had tested positive for coronavirus.
The country confirmed the first coronavirus case on March 6, last year.
“We have suspended learning in all our education institutions with immediate effect. Consequently, and to facilitate a phased approach, primary and secondary day schools are to suspend operations from tomorrow,” the Head of State said.
