COVID-19 fears: First batch of 200 Chinese nationals leave Kenya
- COVID-19 was first confirmed in Wuhan, China in December 2019

- In Kenya, 3,860 infections had been recorded as of Wednesday, June 17
- Chinese nationals in the country argued the situation was getting worse in Nairobi
The first batch of 200 out of 400 Chinese nationals have left Kenya over COVID-19 fears as cases continue to escalate in the country.

The Chinese nationals boarded the China Southern Airlines plane and all of them could not leave at once due to social-distancing rule to curb the spread of the respiratory disease.
According to Okinyo, the foreigners had raised concerns over the upsurge of coronavirus infections in Nairobi but had been denied to leave the country by the Chinese embassy and Kenya's Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
They went to court and acquired orders directing the government to allow flights from China to come and airlift them.
