The government says the 91 Kenyan students stuck in China after the outbreak of coronavirus a few weeks ago are better off there.

Speaking during an address by a multi-agency team yesterday, Foreign Affairs PS Macharia Kamau said only a few countries have evacuated their citizens and the move has led to some Coronavirus cases in those countries.
