Kenya has urged Saudi Arabia to reconsider its suspension of travel and issuance of visas to Kenyans.
In a diplomatic communication to the Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Kenya argued that the travel restrictions could disrupt pilgrimages, employment, education and trade between the two countries.
The Ministry of Foreign and Diaspora Affairs said Kenya had contained the outbreak, with all nine confirmed cases traced to a single cluster linked to an imported case reported on October 6, 2026.
