Kenyan patients, caregivers and students stuck in India will be allowed to travel back this week.
On Monday the High Commissioner to India Willy Bett announced plans to start relocating citizens who were stuck in India after the government banned flights from the Asian country.
Last month Kenya asked her citizens in India to contact and furnish the High Commission and furnish personal information to help it update its register.
This came as India faces a surge in Covid-19.
In a statement, the High Commission asked Kenyans in India to provide their names as they appear in the passport, passport numbers, contacts, physical address, and location in India.
Additionally, Kenyans were directed to state their purpose of visit for accountability and decision-making processes.
The commission also advised Kenyans in India to form WhatsApp groups to facilitate ease of communication should need to arise.
On Friday Kenya donated 12 tonnes of food products to India as part of its COVID-19 relief efforts.
Ambassador Bett handed over the package of humanitarian aid from the Kenyan government.
“The Government of Kenya wishes to stand in solidarity with the people and Government of India during this time of the COVID-19 pandemic by donating consumable foodstuff,” Bett said.
