This really isnt the outcome the government was looking for especially because on the a few weeks ago the state of victoria had next to no you Coronavirus Infection cases which just shows how quickly this virus can return and spread through the community now weve seen a 2nd consecutive day of numbers 191 cases in victoria and that is what has led to the government announcing we are going back to lockdown so what does that mean paypal will not in a city.

Well a row in the hundreds of millions the highest single day death toll since the start of the code would know if you know theyre in february the Health Ministry says more than 200 people going to the post 24 hours just last week your own started to remember who some restrictions all through cases lets take this on we can speak to us about who joins us now from tehran and said that with the death toll climbing how is the whole System Holding up. Well weve seen an increase of cases and were hearing from the government that Hospital Hospital admissions are up here in the capital the increased by 8. 5 percent and thats worrying for the government because we were previously told that the virus was passing through the country and the worst hit areas were the south east and south western parts of the country now the admissions that weve seen over the last 24 hours one 3rd of those are here in the capital and thats worrying because this is the most populated city in the country but also its the Financial Hub of the country that this death toll of 200. 00 isnt just the highest in the last 24 hours its a massive jump for what we saw a few days ago which was around 164 now the Health Minister did give a live address on state t. V. He looked very upset but he said that his warnings had not been heeded and now the country is paying a huge price he said that at the start of this pandemic around 80 percent of people were adhering to social distancing rules and other regulations but that the now thats down as low as 10 percent so again is very troubling for the country and we thought the peak of the Health Minister says now were experiencing the peak here in iran but we thought that peak was back at mid march and then those lockdown restrictions were lifted around mid april so the figures are back up the death toll is highest its ever been and thats troubling for the government right now and how will the government to enforce the necessary measures. Well it was the government in the 1st place that eased those lockdown restrictions the people went back to work they opened up the roads allowing people to travel around the country they have made face masks face masks mandatory or vote they havent said what penalty is there for not wearing one theyve been running campaigns on state t.
