A further 193 Kenyans across the globe have tested positive for the virus, with 88 still undergoing treatment. There have been eight recoveries.
Ms Omamo said all staff in foreign missions are safe. A majority of the returnees are from India, China, the United Arabs Emirates (UAE), Pakistan and the UK.
At least 24 Kenyans abroad have died of Covid-19 while 41 are in critical condition in various hospitals across the world, the Foreign Affairs ministry has said.
Foreign Affairs Cabinet Secretary Raychelle Omamo on Wednesday told a Senate ad hoc committee on Covid-19 that another seven Kenyans had died but not due to the pandemic.
