In file /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo, comment out "mirrorlist" lines and add new "baseurl" lines. File should look like:

# CentOS-Base.repo
#
# The mirror system uses the connecting IP address of the client and the
# update status of each mirror to pick mirrors that are updated to and
# geographically close to the client.  You should use this for CentOS updates
# unless you are manually picking other mirrors.
#
# If the mirrorlist= does not work for you, as a fall back you can try the 
# remarked out baseurl= line instead.

If repositories does not work after changes, run these commands:

yum clean all
yum makecache


If this does not help run:

yum update ca-certificates

If it gives such error:

[Errno 14] Peer cert cannot be verified or peer cert invalid. Trying other mirror…

In /etc/yum.conf in the [main] section add:

sslverify=false

And check that in the /etc/yum.repos.d/CenOS-Base.repo there are paths with https (if not, change from http to https) and retry yum update ca-certificates

If all ok - change https->http back. And remove sslverify=false from /etc/yum.conf
