So one question is uppermost whats the best route out of this crisis and answer could lie in east asia where covert 1001st appeared and west states with varying degrees of success have tried different ways of defeating it. As witnessed by correspondents and for nations those distinct approaches might have something to teach us all. Its late march 2020 in beijing china. Of took over 1001st appeared in the bay province in december 29000 the countrys communist regime imposed unprecedented controls on its people putting major cities such as the capital and complete lockdown. Sebastian labelle seat the 1st of all 4 journalists has lived in beijing for over a decade for the last 2 months he has been in isolation with his wife and son now with no new cases reported here for almost a week those restrictions easing but not yet by much.

All of those men. China believes its tough restrictions have been crucial in bringing infection rates under control but other asian states have seen it differently. Taiwan lies just 150 kilometers of the coast of china yet its taken a radically different approach to the coronavirus and with some measure of success this island state of around 24000000 inhabitants has maintained its independence from the communist mainland of the 7 decades china in turn has long sought to a certain sovereignty and relations between the 2 strange even so around a 1000000 taiwanese move many work in china and so its strange that to date taiwan has only 400 or more to over 1000 cases and just half a dozen dance. Reporter lucy. Moved to the capital taipei just a few months ago but has been getting tips from her taiwanese flatmate about the states response to the virus apparently claire on the social media there is a dog that gives you advice can you tell me more about it yes or the shiva dog is a very lovely character thats been put up by the best of health and welfare to let the public know what we should do so this is on social media and it tells us for example how we must wash our hands as often as possible. The government has been using digital mascots try the dog to continually reinforce its public messaging on health and hygiene. But crucially these instructions began last december well before other countries around the world woke up to the corona virus threat. By the end of that month taiwan was already quarantining at passengers from han capital of chinas hu bay province and the epicenter of the epidemic on the mainland. A few weeks later it closed its borders completely to all chinese citizens. At the same time the country launched a massive production of face mosques. There how you know. That and you dont pay for your food you know. The feed you know you can buy a. Ticket but. You know thats a bomb on the table. But i. Think. That something about young folks because you think about everything you think i. Do i think i think i dont i think i think i. Would refer you go on people if youre. Only looking. At your job. To ensure that mosques for the entire population would always be available to. Government mobilized whole sections of the islands manufacturing industry. To get some sense of how effective that effort has been lucy again direct access to one of the countrys major mosque produces ringback. Yeah. It was it was a lot of talk when you thought this is the right way. To get to the Production Center lucy has to part through several alex the factories and is being checked for bacteria several times a day production lines have been running at full speed and since december. Well we have a close share plenty of all of them are and every day we have a 700. 00 holden. Mass it will be. Solid argument. To prevent any delays in this process the taiwanese government has been supplying room materials directly to manufacture as soldiers have even been trained as backups to factory weapons it means taiwan can now produce an incredible 10000000 mosques a day. As lucy leaves she gets an insight into how the authorities are keeping the pressure up hourly production check ups by the police. So that the bodies that were checked. Out no one seems that voted by the supervision. Of. Their century or so journalists into the police to help to the government help to. Testify terri can get on but do it in a mask very comfortable. As such early attention to detail may be key to understanding taiwan success so far in keeping the coronavirus under control its government anticipated the crisis before others were aware of it and now taiwan is even able to export mosques once again. A couple of hours away by plane lies another asian nation to have Won International respect for its approach the coronavirus south korea.

By the end of march 2020 after being hit with large numbers of early infections south koreas emphasis on testing tracing and containment had apparently brought the outbreak back under control that same month a 1000 miles to the east of tokyo it was a very different story and japan was the 1st country off to china to be affected by the virus in january when the cruise ship diamond princess docked in yokohama many feared covert 19 with then get quickly out of control. But by the time this film was being produced in march those fears had subsided for the moment. With less than 2000 cases and only 40 deaths it seemed that japan had escaped the worst. Constantine simone and his family came to live here 2 years ago. And you know theres the media lets go. Up with them is all or. Give us a call it is all for and then theres a load of pm what is it good for for me. Closing schools was the only early restricted measure taken by japanese authorities. Well that. Makes it here.

Before. The game that was up was a good sources given as give a damn it all be demeaned. By you see. It with other law and. The. Point is either it is your we war says its because you could even leave me. But i know you that it is you would your boss to. Know what. I missed out of. If the lack of widespread rigorous testing hasnt yet caused alarm other matters have. Only ever. Associate kissing deaths 80 or at least 20 because what the public. Was appalled. By did.

Constantine heads next to rubys a neighborhood bar that never sleeps. As on every weekend the place is crowded. With.

I doubt that that constantine has a penchant on the face mosque for protection but hes selfconscious about wearing it was your study. Really measure how well. I dont. Know where they were when that was ok yes i thought that was a little bit so much as. One night in a rowdy tokyo combi taken as representing the attitudes of all of japan. But it is still hard to understand why the coronavirus hasnt caused more anxiety can. Impart to chinas restrictions in south koreas testing and taiwanese discipline all seem to be paying off but will japan pay a high price for its laid back approach. In country same mind people have been killed too because we in the United States have privatized the ultimate Public Function for this was a deal with saudi arabia things were done differently saudis other arabs when they came to britain for be all to help of the past bombs deal so you will rumsfeld this meeting saddam isnt that interesting there are a shadow on aljazeera.

State sanctioned propaganda has even hinted that the virus could have come from american biological weapons. Chinas government may now prefer that others take the blame is deserved. Back in taiwan where to western eyes now accustomed to lockdown life seems distant. And so we journalists new see bartman journal meets with a caller on the taiwan student to her shes teaching french we have an affluent. Thing would look. Good. Or not appear that way but the authorities here have identified many obvious risks such as this water fountain looking back he said look if they did i pull back also to the fearsome bus kurdish show net or the fortune book. Ok with basics of says it or if its the sort of end up that i dont talk shit i will talk about. Public transport is still running. Yet here again taiwanese discipline is on display the public a so mindful of the songs at the damage the 1st corona Virus Outbreak that hit the country and 2003. That was on top of their own golf socks ok are you close i know you see the real squawk that without the ok i may show this a little bending goal so. I guess i must say im close to milk will never make the code good by the end of the 2003 sons crisis 73 taiwanese had died in the aftermath taiwan set up a National Center for Disease Control to better fight each of the democrats a preemptive program of 124. 00 Public Health measures was drawn up intended to go live the moment another threat materialized how the plan was activated last january.

This campus must register their presence and trying to clean and declare the temperature to the authorities about keeping with the buckets of actual medicine if you want to get on just a. Lot of their own money ask us to taiwanese say its the willing gauge when if everyone in these preventive measures its allowing the country to tackle the epidemic whilst maintaining some degree of normal life. Chinas determination to suppress news about the start of the epidemic arguably then allowed infection to spread but in taiwan the government was candid from the start here the philosophy seems to be that whatever the menace to the public nothing justifies authoritarian controls. As we saw earlier a desire to maintain normal life has also been a guiding principle in japan. But now some fear that here things may have been too late by. Constantine simone is a mechanic alan really enjoyed 2 hours south of tokyo to meet one of the 1st japanese doctors to have confronted the coronavirus. Hand surgeon at the beginning of february dr was called aboard the diamond ring says the cruise ship was quarantined in the port of yokohama with 3700 people aboard. Disney more than 700. 00 passengers were contaminated. After the. Ships something strange feeling because i feared a friend of interest. In the boat was a good idea if every people get down to japan they spread the cockpit like in everywhere but at the end of their confinement some passengers were allowed to travel to. Country without protesting. At fast. Staff same thing just check ups only the people who has a center nonetheless like many japanese doctor believes that social barriers alone are probably sufficient to contain the virus by late march when this interview was conducted japan had only 43 deaths and the doctors region had yet to see any cases a tool one week at the city did. Take you will test just straight people ok that this has fish just cheaper is called to the test but no one is forced so to me and there in japan not so many people post but why why there is so few people who have 19 weeks because we can not get this so dont want to come together in the hospital in just that japan has one of the highest number of intensive care beds for capital and the world probably sufficient to cope if the epidemic intensifies but surely some are still vulnerable constantine right next to fuji sour about 40 kilometers south of tokyo to meet some elderly japanese. Under the countrys of antivirus measures it is still possible to visit retirement homes. But what seems today were about. Under 4 japan has the oldest population in the wild made 028 percent of its people over 65 years old. Boy are. The residents seemed delighted by the visit when i had the night man. My feet up. There are some precautions in evidence here hands of disinfected and shoes are removed as they usually are in order. Means homes. With these and a few other basic steps a director thinks risks of sufficiently going to my instructor mirror. Each of them with the filter being limited to us but if theyre going to have strings or. More years of folio. Surprisingly children the so many cards to visit. Im not allowed. To see the. Clips in that scene. Like that all because ive never had a fan on there i thought im not usually offer to do that but im not just good living here for what they thought it was mostly you know how theyre going to conduct it and i think it was a good bit of honestly i might have. Already prepared but i think that. Is nearly 19 and has lived in this residence for 12 years shes never ill and shes become a favorite with the staff i mean in fargo n. D. And now. Theyre like you dont feel so good at the. Letter because they had a good idea that they killed those that are good and you think thats not so they dont like not. In taiwan you see wants to hear more about its culture of openness and heads for the center of Disease Control issues comprehensive daily bulletins about infection rates the age the sex and even the recent movements of the sicko made public this morning 19 new cases have been announced. Taiwan aims for transparency all Health Care Professionals share their data and real time its seen as an information war to keep the virus a day. The scientists doctors saying also emphasizes the importance of testing i was pretty is true. Network over the Laboratory Test now we can test. People every day so thats pretty large number for power one so we can find for the cases are here anyone infected is immediately isolated and their family contacted. Taiwan has also implemented and electronic tracking system that keeps tabs on suspected cases. This expectorate couple were recently placed under quarantine by the taiwanese the thirtys. Last week and neighbors diagnosis positive and was taken to hospital the couple then got strict orders to remain at home. No relaxation of these rules is allowed or the food must be delivered to their door. And ceiling center. Oh well. Even you see they have to do this thats. Still up there saying this is new to put that off for you to speak to you know that you shot a good. J c 84 for about 400 really not compel chosen to be good this. Is a job offer more research so. Its equivalent to an electronic tag if the couple break these rules they risk a massive 31000. 00 euro fine enforcement is rigorous. Then about this in stuff its best to get the maples who can see this going if there was. A way for the facts. Kiss you good day if so my safety. Since its taken together these measures have proved extremely effective by april 24th. Some 3 weeks after these images were filmed taiwan had had less than 500. 00 pieces in total with a death toll of only 6 people. Back in south korea kim myong sue is getting ready to go shopping. For a church of the time to show. Stewart. Is off to the supermarket. And that everything is ready and in some ways it is. But thats not all technology and i was shocked as to avoid any contact with infected individuals under german john or by the day.

To dorna proteins are all possible worse and the result corners of. This degree of transparency has created some controversy in south korea. But most people seem to find it reassuring so for now at least the government has decided to continue sharing the data. Center for the modern term. So mardi gras should bring an awesome drop on his own borders senators are going to mostly. Here.

The countrys infection rate detroits rapidly fast but its been kept around 10 and a half 1000 with only a couple of 100 deaths so far none of those are health workers. Furiously japan has so far made little use of the technologies adopted by all the asian nations instead tradition is given priority every year when spring arrives everyone flock to the parks to admire the cherry trees. That look like the system but. Japanese always celebrate the blossom with elaborate picnic putz known as hell not. Even so the crowds this year was surprising but i hope with all the doctor. Said cause a lot but i. Think chris said it. But they. Also show us. Nor are they taking much notice of the signs that the authorities have posted on the trees. Let the picnic because a mostly young. Old people more cautious perhaps have decided to stay away many japanese believe that kindness is a key weapon to the fight against the virus. But for the issues that are. Probably not like this ever did you theres a lot of good to go and i believe that if the posable secure itself up to. It was very it was like ah well sort of at the sake of a book good job you could hold. It up but its ok as i get dizzy at the bash of the speech this is just say ill get a badge. For the soviet dishes boy enjoys it i mean theyve offered to a deal by the appeal going to. Extreme kindness greetings from a distance these are no more japanese habits but they also now resemble the hygiene measures and hopped around.
