Sports Cabinet Secretary Amina Mohamed says the country has no plans to withdraw Team Kenya from any international competitions despite a surge in Covid-19 worldwide. She said all measures have been undertaken to ensure all athletes participating in major events are vaccinated for Covid-19 and have adhered to all the prevention measures. This is the latest in a series of concerns over the viability of major international events, such as the Tokyo Olympics in Japan where a state of emergency has been imposed in three major cities to deal with the ravaging virus. They are raring and ready to go and understand that this is a golden opportunity with all the international events coming up," she said. Kenya will be represented by 36 athletes competing in seven relay categories: 4x400m women; 4x400m mixed relay; shuttle relay; 4x200m men; 4x200m women; 2x2x400m; and 4x400m men.
