However, all other counties outside the five locked counties, will not be affected by the new directives, but the President said that changes might be made if other counties do not adhere to the directives set. During the address, the President directed that the sale of alcohol and eateries in the five counties be prohibited and that all hotels and restaurants provide take-away services only. "The operations of bars, restaurants and eateries in the other 42 Counties shall continue as is, but they shall at all times be conducted in strict fidelity to Ministry of Health Guidelines, failure to which appropriate action against management, staff, patrons, and premises shall be taken," he said.
