NAIROBI,
Kenya- Forbes Magazine has listed Kenya among 9 countries open
for both tourism and business travel, citing ‘fairly good’ COVID-19
trend.
The country is listed among countries like Mexico, Turkey, Maldives, and Dubai.
Of
the many considerations, the country is seen as a favourable choice of
destination during the
ongoing global pandemic due to its lenient entry
requirements.
According
to the Ministry of Health, foreigners only need proof of a COVID-19
negative test, with the test having been conducted at least within 96
hours of arrival.
The current drop in cases of infections has also placed the country in a favourable position.
“It’s
interesting to note that Kenya restarted international flights to and
from the country on August 1st and since then case numbers have steadily
decreased,” reads the article by the Forbes Magazine published on
Thursday.
By yesterday, Kenya had 34,493 coronavirus cases recorded since March, out of which 20,449 have recovered and 581 fatalities.
The tourism sector has been on its knees since March when the country witnessed a lockdown from the rest of the world.
Over
time, President Uhuru Kenyatta has relaxed some of the stringent
precautionary measures though a dusk to dawn curfew is still in effect.
Bars
and night clubs have been given 30 days to come up with the regulatory
measures to curb the spread of coronavirus among revelers.
