The landing in Kenya of a plane carrying over 200 Chinese nationals from the coronavirus-hit country has angered members of the public.

The 239 passengers, who arrived in Nairobi aboard a China Southern flight on Wednesday, were reportedly cleared of coronavirus and advised to self-quarantine.

“All 239 passengers were screened onboard, cleared and advised to self-quarantine for the next 14 days,” the ministry of health said in a statement.

A video of airplane landing at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport was shared on social media sparking outrage among some Kenyans, who questioned the government’s efforts in protecting its citizen from the deadly virus.

This country can drive you bonkers!!The ineptitude of the Kenyan Government regarding the #coronaviruskenya is ridiculous.
And what on earth is self quarantine?What is this insatiable financial drive that blinds us from protecting the lives and health of Kenyans! pic.twitter.com/AujNy3w5Tl

GoK is not able to contain locusts, how will they be able to fight Corona? Our students are still in China whereas 239 Chinese were allowed to land in Kenya. If we will announce a single Corona virus case,no flights will be allowed from JKIA to other Countries. #coronaviruskenya
