The country recorded 60 more virus-related deaths on Wednesday, bringing the death toll to 20,011.
With the economy trying to overcome the effects of COVID-19 and the nation’s political unrest, business leaders face a challenge like never before as stores and offices reopen and try to lure back customers and clients.
“Even before our current crisis, it’s always been important for businesses to respond to unanticipated changes in the market that threatened their product or business model,” says Adam Witty, the ForbesBooks co-author of Authority Marketing: Your Blueprint to Build Thought Leadership That Grows Business, Attracts Opportunity, and Makes Competition Irrelevant.
One big challenge will be that businesses need to have a plan as they work to return their operations to normal, but they also need to remain flexible and willing to change that plan as the circumstances around them change.”
Going forward, Witty says, businesses need to:
“As a businessperson, my hope is that we’ve already seen the bottom, and that each month going forward the economy will get better,” Witty says.
But the businesses where leaders and employees all work together, plan carefully, and try to keep a positive attitude are the ones most likely to emerge in good shape when this is over.”

Earl Simmons better known as DMX or Dark Man X was born to the Simmons family on December 18, 1970. He lived in New York as a child but his childhood was far from secure. Much of his youth was spent in group homes because of an abusive relationship with his parents. He is now the father of twelve children. When he turned 18, he started out as a beat boxer. By 1991, he had caught the attention of an author named Gabriel Grevenstuk for The Source Magazine. This author covered him in his “Unsigned Hype” column. Earl’s stage name was also coined after he started playing the musical instrument which was often used in the 80s; the Oberheim DMX drum machine. The name was later expanded and re-construed as “Dark Man X”.
In 1992, DMX made his way to signing labels with Columbia Records’ Ruffhouse and released his first single “Born Loser”. Unfortunately, the single did not do as well as DMX had hoped which led to the end of the contract signed. About two years later, he came up with his second single “Make a Move” and appeared with iconic singers like Jay-Z and Mic Geronimo on tracks like “Time to Build”. He also made a walk-on appearance for music videos such as “Makes No Difference”. DMX finally made it to the top with his single “Get at Me Dog” in 1998. The RIAA rated it Gold and his first major album titled “It’s Dark and Hell Is Hot” sold over five million copies. In addition to this, it remained number one on the Billboard 200 chart in the U.S.
DMX’s next album followed the same year which was titled “Flesh of My Flesh, Blood of My Blood” . This album too, remained number one on the charts for three consecutive weeks. In consequence of this, DMX became the second rapper in history to be this successful and have two albums released in the same year to stay on the chart for so long. His third and fourth album “…and then there was X” and “The Great Depression” were released in 1999 and 2001 respectively. “Grand Champ” and “Year of The Dog… Again” followed soon afterwards. In 2011, DMX performed at the BET Hip Hop
A hundred and twenty more people have tested positive for the coronavirus in Kenya, raising the country’s total number of confirmed cases since March 13 to 6,190.

Dr Aman added that local scientists researching on the disease are looking into local characterisation, interventions implemented and their levels of success.
When President Ramaphosa announced in May that the country would be moving to alert level 3 from 1 June, he said government would give consideration to re-opening other sectors of the economy, if the necessary safety precautions were put in place and maintained.
\"Therefore, following discussions with industry representatives on stringent prevention protocols, and after advice from scientists and consultation with Premiers, Cabinet has decided to ease restrictions on certain other economic activities,\" the President said on Wednesday.
President Ramaphosa said many other countries are in the same boat during this global pandemic and are resolving similar dilemmas.
\"We used the time during the lockdown to prepare and enhance our health system and put in place public health measures to minimise infections,\" the President said.
The President said as the country gradually opens up, resuming more activities, the risk of infection inevitably increases.
