Kenya has recorded 14 new Covid-19 cases, raising the total to 621.
Health CAS Rashid Aman on Friday said 922 samples were tested in 24 hours.
Ten of the new cases are from Nairobi, three are from Mombasa and one is from Machakos.
This marks the first case in Machakos.
A total of 19 counties have Covid-19 cases.
Of the new cases, nine are male and five are female.
There are five more discharges, raising the total to 202.
The CAS urged Kenyans to keep following guidelines given by the government to curb the spread of the coronavirus.
"We appreciate that these measures create a great deal of inconveniences to everyone... a time comes when everyone has to make sacrifices," he said.
Meanwhile, Aman warned Kenyans using panya routes to beat movement restrictions.
Earlier on Friday, 237 Kenyans returned to the country from India and proceeded to self-quarantine.
The repatriation comes after the state organised chartered flights to allow Kenyans to travel back at their own cost.
Ministry of Health acting director general Dr Patrick Amoth said 34 health workers have tested positive for Covid-19 to date.
He said out of the 29,000 tests done so far, 21,000 are primary tests.
The rest are repeat tests.
Eastleigh has become a hot spot for the coronavirus.
