Nation is helping us in our hour of need. A navy ship with a 1000 beds on board arrives in new york to help provide relief in the u. S. Epicenter. And having brought things pretty much to a standstill here on earth the virus is now at 10 a pending fire and inspects. The World Health Organization has expressed hope that corona virus infections in hard hit European Countries like italy and spain might be stabilizing but its late as it were quick to add that it doesnt mean tough measures to limit the spread of the disease and track it should be reduced we should start to see stabilization because the cases we see today really reflect exposures 2 weeks ago. And going down isnt just about a lock down and let go. To get down from the numbers not just a village requires a redoubling of Public Health efforts to push down not it went down by itself it will be pushed down well yes spain announced deaths in excess of 800 for the 3rd consecutive day another 6400 cases of the coronavirus that were confirmed the lowest increase in about a week italy also had just over 800 more deaths on monday and like spain its number of new cases has slowed down while in the u. S. A. P. Said to new york relief has arrived in the form of a Naval Hospital ship it has a 1000 beds on board weve got 2 correspondents this hour sunday gago whos in london with the latest on the coronavirus situation in the u. K. There she is but 1st lets go to Francesca Menotti whos standing by in rome francesca just bring us up to speed on the latest numbers coming out of there and also put them into context for us if you can. Yeah yeah we need all of the quick fire. Growing in the right direction then and the hammer they know what their war. Repacked then you need to go if youre in the. Wrong. The number not that bumper on that ladder. Is they found the ladder and them all. Back to me that would be nearly. The little it mean the fact they are read the rag are in fact yes they wore 5 weeks and today it or. So that. The government in finland go at that out to combat ground war. Kneeling in the lap planning for our well. You get out there in the press conference and youve got me now as one of the famine and that you know. They need to have been in fact know of. Nowhere near that and. Breaking. The faking it in the background running for the fire that are in a fire building in practice not. A mob rule in fact its the why part that at one of the recall there and. The fact figure we had a we had the idea. For the recall that we could want to run by. Even if there are. A lot but be a little. Vague earn any money yet they. Add that. More than that. And one hour why not read back that. Well in fact. Iran and iran among them. That book were not my river. And the robber iraq. But not im up that. Or. At are we all be for our. Economy. Your format things are right or way you are that are mean they all got with our. They are proud of you they need. Our no quarter youre. Not going to. Be that that that her eye off the. Bat family at the rate. That. Your and their i. Cry and you them my daughter. Added the end of that long so. You know we dont know it then you are that brian that rides were found it thinks that up to francesca and all to the latest out of italy from rome lets go now to sun you get to go who joins us live from london by skype sonia were listening to audio to this briefing from the foreign minister dont of rob in the u. K. And also from the chief scientific officer what did they have to say. Well in this particular briefing domenic did announce a 93000000. 00 package to try and bring back home those britons you were stranded abroad and who have been unable to make it back home those he said who have access to commercial airlines and who are able to do it and still manage to sort of organize it separately with those commercial airliners but those who are unable to do so will be able to have help from the government trying to get them back home where the government will be working with the government with other governments other foreign governments as well as incorporating the health of certain lines as well but also what you had here in this press conference with the chief scientific adviser patrick balance he still stated that the whole purpose of these measures put in place would be to break the rate of transmission and he seemed to indicate with confidence that the measures would appear to be working of course its going to take another 2. 00 to 3. 00 weeks to see if those current measures that have been put in place now are going to have a discernible effect but he said so far even though the u. K. Is pretty much on a trajectory as the same trajectory is frons it does seem to suggest so far that the numbers are not. Accelerating but seem to be climbing. Climbing gradually as well what theyre looking for is to sort of see a flattening of the rate so that transmission before they can sort of stabilize and eventually start to look at how they can release some of those measures put in place but the this is all still very much a theoretical process here because what needs to be understood is that this moment in time the u. K. Has not reached the peak or. Transmissions as well and also taking into consideration that before the pandemic crisis hit the u. K. Intensive care units were among the lowest in europe theyre full there has been a real move to try and show that intensive care unit something a stablished as quickly as possible and theyve done that with transforming set mix of patients centers in london and birmingham in manchester and now it will so in wales and in scotland as well to try and deal with the numbers that theyre anticipating and what theyre also needing of course are certain things such as the ventilators with which some patients unfortunately are going to have to use and be intubated so while all this is a mine as well is also the issue of how to get some of that equipment as well and of course 1st and foremost is also dealing with the personal protective equipment for the front lines start working in the n. H. S. But still so far while they are still working on that there seems to be an idea that they are trying to get a quick meant as quickly as possible to those working in the front line of the National Health service but so far that those measures still need to be maintained in place such as of morning using public transport avoiding going out as much as possible and also really provide preventing mixing with other people as well contact testing and testing is also another important issue as well while the u. K. Is wraps it up not to 10000 tests a day and its eventually going to go to 25000 tests a day it is still far behind some other countries as germany which is aiming to have 200000 tests a day by the end of next month but this is going to be absolutely crucial in order to maintain a 3 show stuff within the National Health system one of full who is at home already either or having to be in isolation because of coronavirus symptoms if they can get the testing done they could they can try and mitigate some of those horrific scenes that have already been seen in italy and in spain came thank you that song again that live from london. Now to spain where it says he said sore and 3rd straight day of deaths in excess of 800 but not aired on a dread reports on how the rate of infections may be slowing in the past few days weve seen how these figures as being have been decreasing a little bit and in the last 24 hours we had a 9. 39 percent of the decrease so these surveys are good news but on the other hand weve got again for the 3rd day consecutive more than 800. 00 fatalities from coronavirus in spain 812. 00 and was the you have to bear in mind that from all that total cases of people infected nationwide are 14 percent of our Health Care Workers nurses and doctors that are battling in the frontline of coronavirus here in spain especially madrid that became the epicenter of the outbreak of the pandemic or to go started to being or started to be overwhelmed or were overloaded with people and they had to build these Field Hospitals in this Exhibition Center imagery that they had to medicalize hotels but what wed seen weve seen since then to date i think in the past 24 hours do build a tent outside the main hospital birth here emerge read as a provisional side to good there the all the people infected because they cannot cope anymore so with heard that in the Field Hospital in the Exhibition Center the picture is really dramatic completely overcrowded. Healthcare workers dont have the proper equipment protective protecting of quitman and they are threatening government had to do not not showing up tomorrow if they dont product provide immediately on the other side the government has given as a has reported that during these weekend they have distributed at least 2600000 of masks 10000000 units of other material satyrs google was. And they have distributed the these nationwide to all the regions new yorks Health System is getting a lifeline by the sea u. S. That Navy Medical Ship arrived in new york city to help relieve hospitals were to filling up with corrado virus patients the 1000 bed ship will treat people with non virus related ailments. I think there have been times in recent days where a lot of new yorkers have felt alone lot of new yorkers have felt. A sense of not being sure whats coming next not being sure of help would come well i want to say to all new yorkers we have evidence here you are not alone we are not alone our nation is helping us in our hour of need. A designer has more now from new york city. The last time that this particular floating hospital is called the comfort the u. S. Navy came here to new york was 3 days after 911 to help people that were injured then this ship is massive it is about 894 feet or about 275 meters it has 12 operating rooms over 1000. 00 hospital beds inside and it will have about the 11021200 nurses and doctors and staff on it that will be helping here in the coming weeks and perhaps even months in new york city what they are going to use it for is taking patients that do not have coronavirus out of some of the new york City Hospitals bringing them here to this hospital least some of them to clear out bed space for coronavirus patients that are needing urgent care in new york city so just to give you an idea though of how much this is needed and how much still needs to be done according to the new york governor they need about 150000 hospital beds in the coming weeks right now they have about 50000 so theyre short about 100000 hospital beds this ship that you see as big it is it is is only going to have about a 1000 so theres still short tens of thousands of hospital beds that are needed in this city in the coming weeks to meet what is going to be the peak of the most amount of people coming that are infected that are going to need urgent care. And then use ahead Congress Prime minister to get sweeping powers to tackle coronavirus.
