One of the outbreak continues to grow across europe leaders and Health Officials are warning their citizens that antivirus measures could stand place for months put brennan has this report. A steady procession of hearses bring the latest virus victims to the temporary morgue set up in madrids largest ice rink on sunday spain recorded another daily death toll of more than 830 people such a small increase on the previous day is seen as a glimmer of hope that the situation remains critical. It is very likely that the outbreak is evolving properly thanks to everyones efforts having nearly 20 percent of our cases recovering statistics but it is true that the number of people going into intensive care units is doing creasing and there are many regions operating at Maximum Capacity and many other regions quickly getting closer to this limit yes. The u. K. Has recorded its 2nd successive day of more than 200 new deaths and the government has put the entire country on emergency footing unprecedented in peace time asked about the timescale for the current restrictions the answer came a could be many months so i think 3 weeks for review 2 or 3 months to see whether weve really squashed it and that about 3 to 6 months ideally and lots of uncertainty in that then to see which point we can actually get back to normal and it is plausible that it could go further than. Theres been criticism in controversy over the limited scale of the u. K. s testing regime but there is evidence the capacity is slowly increasing this drive through test center in the car park or an Animal Adventure park at chessington has opened specifically for National HealthService Workers the Royal College of nursing britains largest Nursing Union estimates that up to 20 percent of the u.

We need to free up some space when you free up a space it gives you room for a new patient and that saves a life so there wont be a gridlock on hospital resources for those of us but. Across europe coronavirus restrictions have left the streets almost empty but the grim prediction is that it will get worse before it gets any better. Aljazeera well as reported china is lifting some restrictions in katrina you joins us live from beijing katrina says the 1st working day in how are people getting back to their normal lives after months on the lockdown. Thats right daryn for 2 months 11000000 people were confined largely to their apartments now some people are still not permitted to leave their homes but others are allowed to leave if they can prove they have some work they need to get to so some essential industries have begun and is known as the detroit of china so the car industry has begun the cement and steel factory has also resumed operations the roads have been reopened and people are allowed to get back on their cars back into the because and the subway has also resume operations as well as inbound trains are going people streaming into one city but all Outbound Travel is still restricted until april the 8th now since the beginning of this epidemic there were 50000 more than 50000 cases of people infected in city and more than 2500 people died it is the center of the outbreak here in china but the government has all but declared victory in 100 saying that the new cases have trickled slowed to a trickle in there almost no new cases in recent days and for this reason officials in that city are are under pressure to get things going again president xi jinping toward neighboring georgia and province on sunday touring some factories that have started to reopen his message was very much about getting chinas economy restarted and thats really going down to all the ills of government including in the surrounding kuwait province and there is some fear that these officials are under tremendous approach pressure not only to get their economy restarted in local areas but also to keep those numbers of infections low and there are some fears that in some of these restrictions are being lifted simply too early that there could be a 2nd wave of infections and that officials may may not be so willing to be transparent about these numbers because they are depression to keep those very low at the moment and katrina just talk us through whats happening now with the markets across asia because theyve taken a battering recently havent they. Exactly and its been a very volatile last few weeks in markets across the world and asia is no exception this monday morning there was a slide down across most of the markets with the nikkei in tokyo taking the biggest hit thats down about 3. 3 percent on monday hong kongs down 1. 3 percent in shanghai 1. 00 in taiwan its down 1 point one percent the only market in a here in asia that there is bucking the trend is the a. S. X. In australia and thats up about 3 percent but thats after a whopping about 5 percent loss on friday so the asian markets are really starting to digest these new numbers around the world that are going up really rapidly as well as digesting some of these economic stimulus packages that have been put in place so over the next few days certainly were expecting more of a wild ride for the asian markets katrina thank you now as cases of the virus rise medical workers fighting to save peoples lives are among those most at risk spain currently has the highest rate of Infection Among Health Workers they make up around 16 percent of total known cases thats compared to 8 percent of Health Workers in italy and the danger spreading on sunday the u.

To even assists in the economy in. A way from Public Hospitals private once in manila are widely considered to be depressed but theyve stopped that meeting potential coronavirus patients after treating the 1st wave of infections so the empty road that youre seeing right behind me is whats called a facility Quarantine Zone basically local authorities have sealed off about a kilometer stretch of the road because inside the containment zone its a hospital where there has been a rising number of polio virus cases hundreds of Health Care Workers have had to be isolated and several frontline doctors have died of the disease rate now we dont know who has the inspection on so when we go out there when we need patients initially if you are its a very risky without any but that shines. Its really part of the anxiety in our bar. Well some of the governments limited resources are now at the disposal of the philippine General HospitalHealth Care Workers from other hospitals continue to beg for help. The Health Department says despite shortages still its best to supply protective gear in the lead among. The shortage of personal protective equipment isnt unique to the philippines other countries are experiencing as shortage as well so we are purchasing and accepting donations at the same time rest assured we are working to provide hospitals in need of.

But i think generally looking fine for the southern parts of kenya seen some showers wet in parts of towns in there the congo will see some heavy downpours for southern parts of the continent like to see where to find conditions across much of madagascar southern areas could well see some showers in this circulation which is developing also look at heavy downpours across southern parts of angola down into the maybe it could be a wet one and went to look for the south it should be largely dry and fine cape town.
