Kenyans Abroad Asked Not to Travel Home After Wednesday as Gov’t Bans All International Flights

Following the confirmation of 8 new coronavirus cases on Sunday, Kenya has suspended all international passenger flights effective Wednesday, March 25th.

Health Cabinet Secretary Mutahi Kagwe said the move is part of the measures to prevent further spread of the illness. The ban does not affect cargo flights.

CS Kagwe stated that Kenyan and foreign nationals traveling to Kenya between Sunday and Wednesday will be placed under mandatory isolation at a government-designated facility at their own cost. 

“Countries wishing to evacuate their nationals must make their arrangements to do so within this period. Kenyans who are currently in foreign countries, and will not have come back within the said period, are advised to observe the guidelines issued in the respective countries wherever they are,” noted Kagwe.

In addition, he ordered the indefinite closure of all bars nationwide effective Sunday midnight while restaurants have been directed to only offer take away services.

“This is meant to secure the social distance requirement, noting the increased risk of transmission these facilities cause,” said Kagwe

All public gatherings including in churches and mosques have been banned while funerals have been restricted to a maximum of 15 close family members.

“As I cautioned last week, this disease is not a joke, Kenyans must treat this matter with the seriousness it deserves by adjusting and changing their lifestyles,” said Kagwe.

The new cases of Covid-19 bring the total number of confirmed infections to 15. The eight new patients include five Kenyans, two French nationals and a Mexican citizen.

This is NOT the time to travel. Exercise patience, and stay at home until the pandemic subsides, instead. Meanwhile, you can learn to work and earn from home here: https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/createaccount/earnathome

I think Kenya is acting in a very sensible way and this will have a significant impact on control of covid-19.
I am a U.k. national and am happy to be here. Hope they will extend my visa otherwise I have only one option. Swim home

@Linn - Always appreciate a guest telling the locals that their leaders are doing a good job protecting them from the virus. As for your visa, just stay put where you are, be safe and stay healthy. Your visa will be sorted out once coronavirus goes back to the high seas! Some day, perhaps!
