An outbreak of the corona virus in late 2019 at Wuhan in China led to the lockdown of the whole country and later most parts of the world. In Africa, Kenya was not spared with the country reporting its first case 0n 12th March.
The government moved quickly by banning public gatherings, international travel for Kenyan teams as well as any meeting that involves 15 or more people of foreign nationality.
Football Kenya Federation (FKF) suspended all football activities from Monday 16th March in a move aimed at curbing the spread of covid-19. Kenya withdrew from sending its junior team to the Mediterranean International Cup tournament in Spain after the organizers cancelled the event over the growing Covid-19
With the KPL suspended for the next three rounds, AFC Leopards will be out of action until the situation normalises and will face KCB and Nzoia Sugar as their next two opponents.
It is still not yet known when fans will get to watch and support their favourite football teams play in the pitch with all eyes on government to lift this ban.
