A flight carrying 239 passengers from China has landed in Nairobi, the capital of Kenya, the BBC reported on Thursday.
Kenya had suspended direct flights from China two weeks ago, to check the spread of the novel coronavirus that emanated in Wuhan, a city in central China.
The China Southern Airlines flight is the first to land after the suspension.
All the passengers were screened on board to check for any signs that they were carrying the deadly virus, the BBC reported.
More than 80,000 people in more than 40 countries have been infected with the virus and more than 2,700 people have died.
After the flight landed, several Kenyans took to social media to criticise the move.
