Otieno divulged to Nation Sport he will remain in self-isolation in accordance to health ministry directives as he works his way to full recovery.
“I was discharged three (four) days ago but will remain in self-isolation at home for the next two weeks as per the Ministry of Health (MOH) guidelines,” Nation quoted him saying.

Speaking on his experience, the 46-year-old revealed he had difficulties and chest pains but has since “felt better.”
“I am feeling much better. I was experiencing severe sharp pains in my chest and felt weak. I also had difficulties in breathing and used a breathing aid,” he added.
A versatile and talented defender during his hey days, Otieno is Harambee Stars’ most capped player, making over 100 appearances in national colours during his career.
He was part of Stars’ contingent that took part in the 2004 Africa Cup of Nations in Tunisia.
He turned out for Kenya Premier League sides Tusker and Inger, before moving abroad with South Africa’s Santos.
He went into football management upon his retirement and was Stars’ assistant coach at one time under Bobby Williamson and Stanley Okumbi.
