No travel in or out of Kenya without valid COVID-19 certificate, MOH says

QNo travel in or out of Kenya without no an authentic and verified travelers’ COVID-19 certificates.

In the move aimed at stamping out fake COVID-19 certificates, no laboratories will be allowed to issue a certificate without trusted travel codes.

” This will help us also save Kenya, the shame and travel bans when people use fake certificates and fake tests.” Head of Public Health Dr. Francis Kuria said.

The new measure was prompted by reports of travelers who were apprehended at JKIA bearing forged medical documents.

In November alone, nearly 100 Kenyans flew out of the country using falsified COVID-19 certificates only to test positive in Dubai.

The government in collaboration with the African Union, Africa CDC and with technical support from Panabios has implemented an online system to authenticate and verify travelers’ COVID-19 certificates before departure or entry
