Kirinyaga County Assembly has been closed for 21 days after one of its staff members contracted coronavirus.
The Kirinyaga Covid-19 Ad Hoc Committee Chairman, Baptista Kanga, advised the county's 33 ward representatives and 200 staff members to self-isolate for 14 days.
During the 21-day period, Kanga said the assembly chambers will be fumigated.

Last week, county assembly workers were voluntarily tested for coronavirus in a drive initiated by the Clerk.
The county assembly has been a beehive of activities since the impeachment of Governor Anne Waiguru two months ago.
