ITEN (KEN): Switzerland’s Julien Wanders has explained his decision to stay in Kenya amid the COVID-19 outbreak, informs the Daily Nation. “I had the chance to go back home to be with my family but decided to stay here. I have a perfect opportunity to train here alone as we focus on the next season which we are not sure when it will start. I’m happy that the government of Kenya reacted early enough to fight the spread of the virus unlike other countries,” he said.
