It seems like a decade ago, but it was just a few months back that the novel coronavirus popped up in a small group of people in Wuhan, China. Since then, the country has been the epicenter of the pandemic, with more deaths than any other region and the most drastic measures being taken to halt its spread.
Now, after months of lockdowns and quarantines, the country has some positive news to report for the first time in what seems like forever. At a press conference, China’s National Health Commission reported that it had no new local cases of the virus to report.
