Kenya halts all international conferences amid COVID-19

Kenya cabinet Secretary Health Mutahi Kagwe says the government has with immediate effect banned all meetings.

The country’s Cabinet Secretary for Health visited an isolation and treatment facility for suspected cases of the disease. Until last month, most of the COVID-19 related deaths were reported in China where the disease originated, that has now changed, the count on Friday stood at 93 countries, more than 95,000 confirmed cases with over 3,000 deaths. Kenya is not among countries with confirmed cases but it is not taking chances.

Among international events that will be affected by the ban in an international golf tournament, the Kenya Open which was due next week. and the Africa Centre for Disease and Prevention, Africa CDC, the Kenyan government announced that it has trained personnel in public and private hospitals, some of whom will be deployed here.
