Kenyatta claimed that infection rates have dropped, with fewer than 5 percent of daily tests revealing a positive result.
In a televised address to honour a national holiday, he remarked that it was time to shift the attention from surviving to co-existing with the virus.
He added, that the country was not out of the woods yet, and that the people of Kenya must continue to respect the containment measures in order to sustain the advances the health care system has made so far and ensure the full re-opening of Kenyan economy.
