President Uhuru Kenyatta has announced that all international travels will continue but under strict guidelines.
The president on Friday said all travellers in and out of Kenya shall comply with the guidelines on Foreign and international travel.
Uhuru said, all persons coming in and out of the country must be in possession of a Covid-19 PCR certificate acquired no more than 96 hour prior to arrival.
The country already has a strict protocol for air travel operations to help contain the spread of the virus and ensure that the sector is opened up taking cognizance of the measures put in place by the Ministry of Health.
The airport authority has for instance massively invested in technology to improve check-in procedures through the use of e-passports where passengers scan their passports and they are let through without physical contact at immigration counters.
Other measures put in place at Kenyan airports to minimise the spread of the Covid-19 virus include; installation of thermal screening equipment, provision of handwashing and sanitization stations, provision of Port Health observation rooms and mounting of physical distancing markers.
Meanwhile, Uhuru has declared a cessation of movement in five counties including Nairobi, Kajiado, Machakos, Kiambu and Nakuru counties.
The counties were put under cessation of movement for the next 30 days.
