China, the hot spot and epicenter of the virus, is slowly reporting
normalcy, as the number of domestic infections fall.

The viral flu outbreak was reported in Wuhan city of China
late December 2019, and has spread across the world killing scores of people, a
move that saw the world health organization (WHO) term it a pandemic.

A total of over 6000 people have succumbed to Coronavirus
with nearly 77,000 recovering from the contagious disease, most of them from
China.

Kenya is yet to report COVID-19 death-related case
