China Southern Flight Lands In Nairobi, 239 Asked To Self Quarantine
The Kenyan Ministry of Health has cleared 239 passengers who arrived in Nairobi from China on Wednesday. This is amidst fears of the rapidly growing cases of the coronavirus, now at over 81,000 infections and 2, 770 deaths all over the globe.
What irked many was the directive to self-quarantine for 14 days that the passengers received. It is not clear who will enforce the quarantine.
This is what Twitter had to say;

Folly is now a formidable ally of those running events in the GOV.— Wanyonyi (@Wanyony67956450) February 26, 2020
Self quarantine! What is the basis for such modalities? How effective is this approach, and where has it ever proved effective?
What has Wanjiku benefited from these Chinese deals apart?
Algeria and Egypt are the only African countries with confirmed cases as at now.Behold a government that doesn’t care about its people. Kenyans in Wuhan will not be evacuated-the ambassador incharge @Serem_JC is busy praying🙄 However, a whole Chinese plane will be allowed entry, with Chinese aboard asked to self quarantine ! The country is Kenya @MOH_Kenya— Chero, Tich Tanui (@tichophil) February 26, 2020
