    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for allowing me to read this Statement on the coronavirus. The Coronavirus Disease, COVID-19 that was initially detected in China on 31st December 2019 has continued to spread across the world with many countries instituting intervention measures in an effort to contain the spread of infections. In spite of best efforts by the affected countries, the number of infections has kept rising with some of them leading to death. Arising from this situation, the WHO declared it a global pandemic on 11th March 2020. This compelled individual countries to mobilise own resources to combat the disease. As on 15th March, 153,517 confirmed cases and 5,735 deaths have been reported globally. China has 81,048 confirmed cases, including 33,204 deaths. Outside China, 72,469 cases have been confirmed with 2,531 deaths from 143 countries, 20 of which are from Africa with Kenya being one of them. I want to inform the House that we now have four confirmed cases of coronavirus infection and zero deaths from COVID-19. The first case was confirmed on 12th March 2020 and the fourth case has just been confirmed by the Ministry this afternoon from a private hospital. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
