Plus one city 2 sides well look at what life is like in the libyan capital after almost a year of war. Fare suspend of coronavirus to a host of new countries is really concerning the World Health Organization chief as urged all countries to invest urgently in preparedness the number of infected people is now more than doubled in south korea 229 new cases have been reported and that means its 433 for the country as a whole and theyve been 2 deaths the governments urgently sending help to the city of daegu. And the Health Authorities in iran never reported another death thats bringing the total death toll there to 5 of them is 30 infections there largely centered around the holy city of whom infected travelers from iran of reported in lebanon and in canada and theres been a 2nd death from the virus reported initially the outbreak there has spread in the Northern Region of lumber day there are 30 confirmed cases Robert Wright is our correspondent in that Southern City of daraa in south korea with much more now on the wide reaching impact of the virus. These latest figures do make for very grim reading once more showing a doubling of this basically a pattern now has been established over the past few days that we have a doubling each day it seems this time last night friday we were talking about just over 200 cases in south korea were now talking about well over 400 and the focus still is very much on this area daegu and the adjoining chango county where we have a number about half of all of the cases are now reported to be members of this one Church Community so thats the focus at the moment is trying to screen and test all of the thousands of members of this church and it has to be said that around a 1000 of them have reported flu like symptoms so we can expect sadly many more people from this congregation potentially to test positive for the corona virus around 100 or so of the number are also from a hospital in chiang doe where it seems the there is a link between the cluster here in daegu and the neighboring county somehow there has been a cross infection into that hospital which is spread very rapidly through the patients there and also the staff it is having a profound impact on this corner of south korea it has brought pretty much Economic Activity in the city of daegu to a standstill you dont see many people out on the streets also has an impact further afield we just heard for example that a Samsung Electronics factory just outside of this city has decided to close one of its staffers come down with the coronavirus so it does have this knock on impact. Or i lets go live now to do a search of ari a correspondent in the iranian capital tehran and dorsey how the uranium. Is responding to this weve got 5 deaths so far weve got multiple infections and seem to be centering around that holy city of qom. Certainly that city is at the heart of this outbreak as far as the iranian officials have said over the past 48 hours the holy city of calm is about 130 kilometers south of tehran with a population of just over a 1000000 people but the issue is that theres a lot of pilgrims that pass through that city and according to the Health Official here here the outbreak apparently began when there was a chinese worker that came from china that works in the city of calm and that is how they believe this virus has spread now we also understand that it has been reported in this in the capital tehran and a number of other cities and weve also heard that that district mayor in east aaron has also tested positive for the virus and hes been hospitalized as of friday as a result of that city council has been called in a recess for one week and we are also hearing reports that the hard Pilgrimage Organization its a Government Organization has also canceled all trips of pilgrims traveling to iraq and iranian officials have also decided to close all the 5 land borders with iraq as well for now the officials are saying theyre trying to decide whether or not to restrict or ban the visit to the holy shrine in all men and nearby for the time being officials are saying theyre exercising caution urging people to be careful about where they travel to and weve also spoken to some residents of call me who say that their town is pretty much shut down many people have decided to stay indoors and officials have also ordered the closure of schools and universities for this today saturday and sunday so were waiting to find out what the Health Ministry officials will say after a series of high ranking official meetings that are taking place as we speak all right also thanks dosage of our live in terror on that lets go to hong kong our chorus one of the weigh in hey wayne so the. New cross is emerging have. Primarily in prisons and also theres a spread of the rate of infection outside of who bay province but otherwise it seems very much as though the rate of infection is going down with that because accurate to say that. Well certainly the late has numbers that were released from the Chinese Government they released them every day the latest government numbers coming out saturday morning for friday i showed that there was a significant decrease from the day earlier in the number of new infections those numbers have to be treated with a little bit of caution for the time being because there has been so much variation in them over the past week or so because the government has been changing its testing method but there certainly was a degree of caution that was spoken by the president of china xi jinping he met with his fellow communist Party Leaders in beijing and he said that they are yet to reach the peak of this crisis so certainly some concern there from the government at the same time he wants the economy to try to begin to get back to normal as quickly as possible also as you heard a few moments ago some concern from the world the World Health Organization in a couple of areas they are saying that the window of opportunity to contain this fire is closing now what theyre referring to is the fact that up until now of course most confirmed cases of corona virus have been in Mainland China in particular and who province where the outbreak began but that is changing quickly as weve seen in south korea iran and other places so the virus is spreading to more countries so there is a concern there from the w. H. O. That as it does it is becoming more and more difficult to contain possibly in the weeks and months ahead it may become impossible to do so they also express concern about how this virus is now being transmitted there more and more cases according to the w. H. O. Of people becoming infected with corona virus who have not traveled to Mainland China or 2 who province itself or have not knowingly come into direct contact with someone who is infected with the virus so in other words more cases of people getting the virus and not really knowing exactly how or who they contract of the virus from all right wayne thanks for that wayne hey live in hong kong lets have a look at this visual representation oh of the virus in the spread of it lets have a look at it.
