The Ministry of Health has closed two city hotels indefinitely in the wake of a cholera outbreak.
Health Cabinet Secretary Cleopa Mailu (pictured) on Wednesday announced that Jacaranda hotel and San Valencia restaurant in Nairobi had been shut indefinitely.
The two are said to have offered catering services at events attended by participants who were later hospitalised after developing cholera-related symptoms.
The minister said the establishments will not be allowed to operate until their staff are certified to be free of cholera.
He further said 12 counties have been affected by the outbreak, with Nairobi and Garissa the worst hit.
