The Kenya Ports Authority has introduced several new measures after it confirmed seven confirmed cases of the Covid-19. In the regulations, every ship entering Kenya from a country with confirmed cases of Covid-19 is subjected to rigorous inspection in the designated location as directed by the Harbour Master. “Crew or passengers of vessels from confirmed Covid-19 countries will not be granted shore passes. The exception is given to Kenyan crew and persons with valid resident permits,” said Salim. The garbage from vessels arriving from confirmed Covid-19 countries will no longer be allowed to be discharged at any Kenyan Port.
