Kenya identifies high-risk areas of coronavirus

Kenya has named two popular tourism destinations among regions at high risk of coronavirus outbreak.

The coastal towns of Mombasa and Kilifi, which have a high influx of tourists, have been placed on high alert.

The country’s capital, Nairobi, is also listed as a high risk area because of its main airport.

Kenya’s head of disease surveillance, Dr Daniel Lang’at, is quoted as saying that border regions in the western and north-eastern parts of the country are also at risk.

The country is yet to record any confirmed case of coronavirus.

Kenya has been working to boost its economy by making tourism more attractive.
