With Kenya set to resume public worship, an Interfaith Council established by the government is urging believers to remain cautious.

“Dear Kenyans, we must remain vigilant to the dangers this pandemic still poses even as the restrictions are lifted,” the Council said in a statement.

Public worship had been suspended in five counties due to a recent spike in the number of reported cases. Four Catholic dioceses were affected by the decision. With numbers going down, Kenyan President Uhura Kenyatta announced that the government would relax restrictions, beginning May 1.
