The historic Fort Jesus has lost more than Sh10 million since the coronavirus first hit Kenya in March. Last year, the fort received 42,000 visitors from April to June but this year there are no visitors due to the closure. The fort is expected to reopen soon to the public after complying with directives to ensure there are no infections of the virus. “We have organised that every section has a small number of people so that there are no gatherings in one area,” Twahir said. Other measures to be undertaken upon arrival include maintenance of 1.5 meters distance especially in the ticketing area, temperature testing, hand washing and sanitising.
