The first victim of the COVID-19 global epidemic in Kenya is an international sporting event, the 2020 Magical Kenya Open. On March 6, 2020, Health CS Mutahi Kagwe announced a 30-day ban on all meetings and conferences of an international nature which included the Magical Kenya Open.
With 144 players, 100 plus caddies and nearly 200 TV, media and European tour officials expected to arrive in Kenya, the ban was seen as a pre-emptive strike against the coronavirus.
