Kenya will be included in the COVID-19 travel ban red list on April 9, the British High Commission has said.
In a statement issued on Friday, the commission said visitors who have been in or transited through Kenya in the previous 10 days will be refused entry into England.

“British, Irish and third-country nationals with residence rights arriving from these countries will be required to quarantine in a Government-approved facility for 10 days,” the statement reads.

Bangladesh, Pakistan and Philippines will also be added to the red list travel ban.

Kenya’s latest COVID-19 statistics indicate a positivity rate of 18.5%. The country’s caseload is 135,042 out of 1,494,77 cumulative tests carried out so far.
The Philippines, Pakistan, Kenya, and Bangladesh are to be added to England’s “red list” of countries from which almost all travel is banned, ministers have announced.

The additions, which come into effect next Friday, will take the number of red list countries to 39, as the government battles to prevent potentially vaccine-resistant variants of Covid-19 from coming to the UK.

British and Irish nationals and residents can return from red-list countries, but they must pay to enter compulsory hotel quarantine.

The changes will come into effect at 4am on 9 April, according to a statement issued on Friday. “The government has made it consistently clear it will take decisive action if necessary to contain the virus and has added these destinations to the red list to protect public health,” the statement said.

Ministers have rejected the idea of widening the list to include European countries such as France and Germany, where a third wave of Covid infections is causing growing concern about the potential for mutations.
