Several cities across China, including Wuhan where coronavirus was first recorded, have gone into lockdown. Around14,878 new cases of Covid-19 have been detected, 1,711 were symptomatic and 13,167 were asymptomatic. Meanwhile, a day earlier, among 11,950 cases detected, 1,504 cases were symptomatic and 10,446 cases were of asymptomatic infections. Wholly, China has confirmed 271,968 cases with symptoms.

In order to bring down coronavirus, the public should keep their distance from one another and they must follow standard operating procedures. The government must provide a proper vaccination system so that millions of lives must be secured.
