Heath CS Mutahi Kagwe on Friday eliminated capacity restrictions on churches and houses of worship.
The CS further encouraged the congregants to wear face masks and to be vaccinated before going to the places of worship.
With the Covid-19 cases dropping (positivity is at 0.2 per cent) by the day, Kagwe said temperature screening is no longer mandatory.
"But sanitizing and handwashing facilities should be made available at places of worship."
"It has been noted that majority of Covid-19 cases present themselves without fever, as such, the use of temperature screening at public facilities has very little utility," he said.
He said the Inter-Faith Council will soon advise further on the protocols set in places of worship.
The restrictions came into force in 2020 at the height of Covid-19 infections.
Currently, Kenya's positivity rate is at 0.2 per cent.
He, however, urged Kenyans to continue practising social distancing, handwashing, wearing masks in public places and to be vaccinated.
Kagwe has stated that by June 2022, the government is working towards vaccinating a targeted population of 27,246,033.
