All 239 passengers who landed at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) on Wednesday aboard a Chinese flight have been cleared of coronavirus (COVID-19), the government has said.
The Ministry of Health said all the passengers who arrived in a flight belonging to China Southern Airlines were screened, cleared and advised to quarantine themselves for 14 days.
“The Ministry of Health continues to be on high alert to ensure there is no importation of COVID-19 into the country,” the statement from the ministry read.
This came after the China Southern Airlines, which suspended its flights to Nairobi on February 10th, resumed operations on Wednesday.
The Health Ministry added that all the 17 coronavirus alerts that have so far been reported in the country tested negative.
“On Tuesday, February 25, 2020, two alerts, one along Riara Road and the other in Valley Arcade Nairobi County, were investigated and both did not meet the World Health Organization (WHO) case definition criteria,” said the Ministry.
As of Tuesday, the number of people infected with coronavirus stood at 80,239 while the death toll hit 2,700, a majority of them in China.

Ati quarantine themselves. I…
Ati quarantine themselves. I doubt they have the appropriate guidelines and test kits to clear anyone. Most countries are working on contingency plans, preparing just incase but kenya zetu tu bbi. It has now spread to 37 countries. I would like to know how the ministry of health is preparing for this, because according to most healthcare organizations it is not a case if but when…
The junior staff at JKIA…
The junior staff at JKIA need to down their tools.When they get sick KQ will deny they died from the virusThat manager who allowed the plane to land does not care.And as somebody asked what business do these Chinese have in Kenya.We cannot get our own citizens out yet these disease carrying vermin have decided to infect us by force.Where is that superstar Matiangi let him flex his powers does the virus not threaten our national security.To add insult to injury the Chinese were told to self quarantine for 14 days.Surely come election time if these mpigs get elected back wajinga sisi ikiwa hatutakua tumesha maliziwa na hii corona.
Kenyans, stop working for…
Kenyans, stop working for them! Stop using their railways. Stop going to their businesses. Just take care of your lives and go for the basics just like our fore fathers.
No one in the government cares. All other countries affected are closing theaters, schools, Disneylands all public gatherings. They are stopping flights from affected countries while Kenya is opening its borders.
Paying the government or the Chinese will not matter if people are sick or dead.
Time to go back to basics. Kenya today is like a vacant home. They will flock there from all affected countries whether sick or not because our government doesn’t care.
We need to pray to the real God of Kirinyaga to keep taking care of business.
2020 time of Revelation and Restoration!!!
