"Coronavirus is real and is a threat to humanity. It has already claimed 16,000 lives worldwide," he said in a video posted on his social media pages.
"Stay away from funerals expect those of your immediate family members."
The AU special envoy further urged Kenyans to stop shaking hands and keep the recommended social distance.

"Kenyans are very indiscipline and it will cost us. We want responsibility among citizens, Keep your kids home..you people of the media need to tell them," he said.
