Others are Galleria Mall, Rosslyn Riviera, Capital Centre, Warwick Centre and Kiambu Mall.
The move is said to have been influenced by an incident where a clinical officer at Galleria branch tested positive for COVID-19.
Following the closure, the management led by Chief Executive Officer Dr Allan Pamba decided to recall all staff to the main hospital.
The management said that the COVID-19 virus poses a serious challenge to the resilience of Kenya’s healthcare system.
