Protocol for air travel operations to Kenya during the COVID-19 public health crisis
Following the announcement of resumption of International Air Travel to Kenya from 1st August 2020, the Government of the Republic of Kenya, in consultations with relevant stakeholders, has developed a Protocol for Air Travel Operations to Kenya during the COVID-19 Public Health Crisis. The protocol seeks to provide guidelines to ensure that air travel remains safe during the pandemic for domestic and international flights.
All arriving passengers on international flights whose body temperature is NOT above 37.5 degrees Celsius (99.5F); do NOT have a persistent cough, difficulty in breathing or other flu-like symptoms; have negative PCR based COVID-19 test carried out within 96 hours before travel and are from countries considered low to medium risk COVID-19 transmission areas shall be exempt from quarantine.
Those required to quarantine will do so at Government designated facility or at their home subject to prevailing guidelines.
For more details, refer to the following documents:
- Protocol on Air Travel To Kenya
- Directive on Resumption of International Air Travel issued by Kenya Civil Aviation Authority
- List of Quarantine Exempted States
Review of countries from which travellers will not be required to be quarantined upon arrival will be undertaken by Ministry of Health on day to day basis.
