Kakamega County Governor Wycliffe Ambetsa Oparanya has ordered County Government offices to close down their operations with immediate effect.
The offices are set to remain closed for a period of 15 days as a measure towards containing the spread of the Corona virus in the County.
The only exceptions, he said, will be the department of Health services, Security and Enforcement, Water and Sanitation, Cleaning and Garbage collection, and Finance and Revenue.
The Executive Order from the County boss follows new developments, also announced by him, that Kakamega has recorded its first confirmed positive Covid-19 case on a 19 year old student who travelled from Switzerland to his rural home in Mumias West Sub County.
