President Uhuru also revised the curfew for the aforementioned areas to start from 8 pm to 4 am and 10 pm to 4 am for the rest of the country. 

Following the President's order on Cessation of movement, the government has issued guidelines on where police roadblocks will be placed.

Nairobi County, will not have roadblocks to monitor restriction of movement since the county is sandwiched between Kiambu, Machakos and Kajiado Counties
