The High Court has suspended all flights from China for the next 10 days because of the coronavirus.
According to the Daily Nation, the court also ordered all passengers, who arrived in Nairobi on a China Southern Airlines Jet to be quarantined at a Kenya Defence Forces facility.
This comes after 3 cases were filed against the Government on Friday.
The petitioners sought orders to ban travelers from China and other coronavirus hotspots from entering the country.
“Upon perusal of all petitions and prayers sought, I find that unless a conservatory order is issued, Kenyans will be exposed to the deadly disease,” said Justice Makau.
The cases were filed at the High Court by the Law Society of Kenya, two doctors and an advocate.
They all sued Cabinet Secretaries for Health, Transport and Interior, Kenya Airports Authority and the Attorney-General.
