Covid-19: Kenyans stranded in the UK can now fly back home at their own costKenyans who are stranded in the United Kingdom due to the Covid-19 pandemic have been offered another chance to return home. Kenya’s Ambassador to the UK Manoah Esipisu in a communique on Monday said the cancelled flight has been rescheduled and will depart London’s Heathrow Airport on Monday, May 4. Kenyans stranded in the UK had their hopes of returning home dashed last week after Kenya Airways cancelled a scheduled flight citing that testing for Coronavirus in the UK was only done for patients who showed symptoms and had to be taken to hospital. The KQ flight that was set to ferry back Kenyans from the UK on Saturday, April 25 was cancelled at the last minute. Kenya High Commission in London, Kenya Airways, or your local General Practitioner (GP) may advise on options for test labs,” Esipisu said.
