Kenya has named two popular tourism destinations as among regions at a higher risk from a coronavirus outbreak, according to local media reports.
The coastal towns of Mombasa and Kilifi, where many tourists visit, have been placed on high alert.
The country’s capital, Nairobi, is also listed as a high risk area because of its main airport.
Kenya’s head of disease surveillance, Dr Daniel Lang’at, is quoted as saying that border regions in the western and north-eastern parts of the country are also at risk.
The country is yet to record any confirmed case of the new coronavirus strain, which causes Covid-19.
Kenya has been working to boost its economy by making tourism more attractive.
