At least 37 countries and Hong Kong — a special administrative territory of China — in five continents exported a Covid-19 case to Kenya. China, the epicentre of the pandemic, contributed two cases — a Kenyan woman from Nyandarua and a male living in Nairobi. The High Court on February 28 temporarily suspended flights from China after the Law Society of Kenya went to court. Consequently, Europe, North America and hubs like Dubai individually ended up spreading the virus to more countries than China did. Even as Kenya continues to ramp up measures to secure the borders and avoid virus imports, it has joined the list of Covid-19 exporters.
