South Africa is one of the hardest-hit countries in Africa with over 740,000 infections.
The country recorded 60 more virus-related deaths on Wednesday, bringing the death toll to 20,011.
The Chinese have obtained an order from a High Court in Nairobi directing the Kenya government to allow them to leave on June 16, arguing that Kenya's health system does not have the capacity to handle the Covid-19 pandemic.
What started as an epidemic in China has now become a global pandemic infecting more than seven million people and killing at least 406,000 people worldwide, according to the Johns Hopkins University Covid-19 dashboard, which collates information from national and international health authorities.
By the time he arrived in Nairobi, the controversies surrounding the construction of the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR), treatment of Kenyan employees by Chinese firms as well as the secrecy surrounding Beijing's loans to Kenya, were among the issues that the ambassador faced.
Any loan agreements between China and Kenya are in line with international practice,\" he told the Nation in an interview last year, six weeks after presenting his credentials.
China denied it all through and its diplomats, including Mr Wu, were vocal in the mainstream and social media, clarifying mistakes in the pandemic control, but also vowing that there would be no relaxation of the strict measures China imposed.

Since Magufuli was elected in 2015, Lissu has made it his job to fearlessly challenge the autocratic leader - and more than a dozen bullet wounds were not enough to shut him up.
Almost three years ago, Lissu, the former president of the Tanganyika Law Society (TLS), was en route to his home in Tanzania's capital Dodoma at around 11am for a lunch break during a parliamentary session.
The changes to Tanzanian society were \"immediate\" following Magufuli's election win almost five years ago, Lissu says.
According to Lissu, Magufuli, quite simply, needs the money to implement dozens of national megaprojects he has spearheaded, while Magufuli's fledgling attempts at revamping Air Tanzania, the country's flag carrier, have alone cost hundreds of millions of dollars.
What's unique under Magufuli, according to Lissu, is that the arrests are being made solely for criticising the president.
The number of infected people stood at 7,188 on July 3, with 154 deaths.
The slow rollout will affect South Africans’ ability to visit other countries, where vaccination may become an entry requirement.
AIA – the acronym for Africa in April – gives way to AIAA this year, with the cultural awareness festival now set for August. “Of course, it has always been held in April,” said Dr. David Acey, founder and executive director of the Africa In April Cultural Awareness Festival. “But by April of this year, […]
[SAnews.gov.za] President Cyril Ramaphosa is determined to see every part of the economy return to full operation as government works towards recovery from the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Although Uganda began to relax some of the lockdown rules last week, including allowing private vehicles to return to the roads, the country faces an uphill ride back to economic normalcy, a wide-ranging survey by this newspaper shows.
Mr Jean Byamugisha, the chief executive officer of the Uganda Hotel Owners Association, an industry lobby group, estimates her 500 members across the country will lose about $900 million (about Shs3.4 trillion) to the pandemic and the resultant lockdown.
Summer is usually peak season with international tourists flocking in but with international travel badly hit by the impact of the coronavirus disease, for hoteliers like Mr Wekesa, the pain is being felt at home, and will impact other sectors, including agriculture, if it drags on for more months.
In his 14th address to the nation on Covid-19, President Museveni said: \"We have lost $1.6 billion from tourism and there is nothing we can do about that... \"
Apart from tourism, other economic sectors such as manufacturing, construction, trade, transport and services are also suffering from the economic slowdown.
A separate report presented to the Parliamentary Committee on National Economy by a segment of beverage manufacturers shows that the closure of bars, restaurants and social gatherings has already cost government at least Shs25 billion in revenue in the last three months alone.
Domestic tourism a key growth driver for hospitality sector

Domestic air travel, which has been one of the key growth multipliers for the travel and hospitality industry, will be impacted by the new norms.
After months of no travel, people need that well deserved break and the sense of wanderlust will influence the desire to be keen to explore destinations within the country.
While domestic travel contributed over 30 percent of Kenya’s leisure travel in 2019, it will grow with renewed vigour and the demand from domestic travellers will mark the beginning of a new era of travel in the coming months.
Driven by the desire to travel post Covid-19, people will embark on domestic travel characterized by road trips to less tourist-centric destinations; thereby leading the rediscovery of unique and secluded locations.
Domestic air travel, which has been one of the key growth multipliers for the travel and hospitality industry, will be impacted by the new norms, and the effect on pricing will only be seen once travel slowly resumes over time.
\"Witnesses have told police a shark attacked the teenager while he was surfing at Wilsons Headland at Wooli Beach, near Grafton,\" New South Wales police said in a statement.
\"Several board-riders came to his assistance before the injured teen could be helped to shore. First aid was rendered for serious injuries to his legs and despite CPR efforts to revive him, the 15-year-old died at the scene,\" police said.
Beaches in the area including Wooli, Diggers Camp and Minnie Water have been closed. Police are investigating the incident. This was Australia's fifth fatal shark attack this year.
Last week, a 36-year-old man in the Australian state of Queensland died after being attacked by a shark while spearfishing.
In June, a shark killed a 60-year-old surfer at Salt Beach near Kingscliff on the far north coast of New South Wales.
CNN's Angus Watson reported from Sydney, Australia, and Isaac Yee reported from Hong Kong.
