Following pressure from the public that forced the Chinese Embassy in Nairobi to suspend China Southern Airlines flights to Nairobi, there are other airlines that are supposed to be banned too so as be truly coronavirus risk-free.
Though am adamant that the Chinese will suspend China Southern Airlines, am sure they did for optics and not in truth and soon another scandal will be loading. This is majorly because China Southern Airlines didi not honor their first announcement on 10th February 2020 to suspend flights. When they were caught by Gure Ali, they lied that they had resumed flights that day.
The truth is on the flight tracking website called flightstats. China never suspended their flights to Kenya on 10th Feb as announced. In that flightstats information, there is another sinister airline called China Eastern Airlines. This too should be suspended.
Furthermore, Kenya might have banned flights from China but flights from Italy which has been declared as another hotbed continue to operate daily to Mombasa. Air Italy operates daily from Milan to Mombasa.
The same energy that Kenyans online have out on the Chinese run Kenyan govt to suspend the flights from. Coronavirus-laden country is the same that should go into condemning thr Italians, Iranians, Americans, and French.
Alitalia, Air France should all be banned.
Perhaps a Kenyans can join Miguna in condemning Air France and Lufthansa (German Airline)
Coronavirus
According to Worldometers dot info, there have so far been 85,691 cases of coronavirus, 2933 deaths and 39,766 recoveries.
President Kenyatta yesterday ordered the completion of an isolation ward at Mbagathi Hospital in Nairobi within 7 days.
The only problem is that in doing so, the president erred in not supporting the courts to order KDF to round up and quranrtine the 198 Chinese passengers from the China Southern Airlines that landed on 26th February 2020.
As for now, Kenya seems on autopilot even as three confirmed cases of coronavirus in African, in Nigeria, Algeria and Egypt are foreigners.
