President Xi Jinping trying to salvage the lost image of Chinese government with a visit to Wuhan

Beijing: – The Chinese government, who faced a lot of flak on the issue of the Coronavirus epidemic, is trying to salvage its collapsed image.

The Chinese media claimed that the visit proves that the Chinese government has successfully controlled the epidemic.

In the last week of December, Coronavirus epidemic started from the Chinese city of Wuhan. In the initial phase, the Chinese agencies claimed that the virus was restricted to a certain part of the city.

But the situation suddenly changed after that and a larger number of patients and deaths started surfacing. More than 80,000 cases of Coronavirus infection have been reported from China and the number of deaths has reached 3,136. The industry and trade in China have come to a grinding halt because of the epidemic and many small cities have been placed under lockdown.

The epidemic has reached more than 100 countries in the world and the World Health organisation has said that it will possibly culminate into a pandemic.
