It does not look as if it is growing, and 7 percent because of the cancellations we had this week," Victor Shitaka, general manager of Flamingo Beach Hotel, told Reuters.Kenya banned entry on Sunday to people travelling from any country with reported coronavirus cases for 30 days, with the exception of Kenyan citizens and foreigners with residence permits, who will have to undergo a period of self-quarantine.
