The Dock Workers Union has threatened to disrupt operations at the Port of Mombasa should the management fail to put in place measures to protect workers from Covid-19. Salim said KPA has seven confirmed Covid-19 cases since the pandemic started. Four of these cases involve KPA staff while three are contracted cleaners working in the Port. The port management has enabled online cargo documentation processes to facilitate customers to clear cargo electronically and decongest human traffic within the Port. The union also wants the KPA staff to be given priority when mass testing for Covid-19 starts.
