A holiday of their own calling one of germanys coronavirus on the relentless pressure to treat the sick. Britains Prime Minister is in hospital with coronavirus box downing street says Boris Johnson is still in shock as the government says he is on the government to test some showing persistence of. His welcome to the Program Germany is to impose a 2 week quarantine on citizens on long term residents returning from travels abroad the decision comes just ahead of the easter holidays when many germans book springtime getaways dont want to lose ground in the countrys battle against the coronavirus round the last been gains through social distancing measures already in place. If youre planning to travel to germany this easter weekend make sure you are up to date on the latest restrictions on movement. For millions of Christians Easter is going to Church SpendingEaster Sunday with a whole family maybe a walk a nice to bonfire for many its also a short vacation at the seaside in the south where its already warmer usually but not this year. In these media with social contacts already limited within germany the governments crisis group agreed on monday to institute a 2 week quarantine for a tourneys so whos affected as of april 10th all german nationals e. U. Citizens and other long time residents who return to germany after several days abroad have to quarantine themselves for 14 days there are however exception for Seasonal Workers in agriculture commute travelling to work Truck Drivers delivering goods and of course medical professionals. Restrictions for non germans and non residents have already been in place since mid march only those with a valid reason to travel can be admitted to germany for everyone else the same message applying its time to stay at home. Linda crane who joins us now from our parliamentary studio Berlin Germany is tightening restrictions for residents entering the country yet at the same time theres been discussions about how to start easing the lockdown is that all the contradiction. No not at all the fact is most germans are staying home at the moment and this phase will continue at least until into next week the chancellor made that clear once again this past weekend but the fact is it clearly behooves the authorities to be thinking now about what the next phase might look like and whats pretty clear is that that phase will involve much more selective screening widespread testing and then really trying to identify both those people who are most at risk and those people who could be spreaders and clearly people coming from countries or regions that have seen a lot of corona cases are potential spreaders and it makes a lot of sense obviously to look at them very closely and to ask them to police quarantined themselves until the time period would be over when they might be infectious. Looking at the economic side of this the German Government has already paid out billions in aid to businesses and further billions of promised germanys finance mazola been talking about this today lets listen and i would be in charge of noted anyone who was economically active last year those who register turnover those have recorded normal Economic Activity and made a profit they can get 3 months turnover as a loan from the bank which in this case will be 100 percent financially underwritten by us. That means the banks will not have to do normal financial risk assessments and this 100 percent guarantee means the process will be completed very quickly. But will that be effective or is a more help needed. Let me say yes and yes it will be effective in the sense that this enormous rescue package a lot of it has already been dispersed and surprisingly quickly people used to somewhat bureaucratic procedures in this country are nothing less than amazed to see money on their accounts within a few days but there have been a few snags for small and Medium Companies for them the support is channelled through banks 80 to 90 percent of the support for them until now was guaranteed by the government but that 10 or 20 percent margin that would have been the risks that was stopping some banks from channeling the support to the firms as quickly as needed therefore the government is now saying ok were going to underwrite the full 100 percent in the hope that we can really get this money out there quickly so yes thats important and its likely to be effective but secondly more help undoubtedly will be needed further down the line pretty much all german politicians have acknowledged that saying this was a very big rescue package that it may be that we will need to see substantial additions to that in the future. Or spawn a milliner cry and thank you. It was saying here in germany western border town of heinsberg has been hit very hard by the coronavirus cobbles celebrations in late february are believed to have helped the virus to spread the small town has racked up 1400 cases and any 40 deaths. As there are struggling to keep up with the physical and emotional toll on to the virus. The protective mask is absolutely vital here intensive care nurse Alexandra Webb and her team are also required to wear gloves and a protective overcoat when they treat covert 19 patients one of the patients in the Isolation Unit is severely ill hes been given artificial respiration the Health Care Workers turned him on to his deli so that air flows better into his lungs a Coronavirus Infection can lead to a fight for survival i question is this moment in this button with intensive care patients youre supposed to be ready for an emergency 247 on the alert around the clock i believe that the disease is simply unpredictable. But. She hears the constant beeping sound throughout her working day right now there are 6 coronavirus patients in the intensive care unit the nurses here are working up to 20 hours of overtime every week. But despite all efforts they sometimes lose patients and this can be tough. To model the scar tissue in the name when we feel powerless stand there and dont know how to treat them they havent been any proper studies this is something totally new we do our best but sometimes its not enough. Noise and woman no matter what others best. Alexandra webb and her colleagues have put together an emergency plan in case there are more patients she knows her team must persevere people need them like never before.

Germanys been as league clubs are desperate to finish the season to ensure they get their t. V. Revenue even if that means playing matches behind closed gates without fans at these socalled ghost games wont help lower league clubs. Who depend on ticket sales to survive. This is wrote vice essen in the 4th tier of german football here theyre printing tickets for a game that will never be played this one our fundraising effort is helping but it wont even cover one mismatch the semi professional club is losing up 2150000 euros for every game that doesnt take place playing matches behind closed doors theres no viable solution in the event the season is cancelled essence president has a radical idea. But. As far as the 3rd and 4th leagues are concerned we should think about creating an expanded 3rd league for the biggest clubs and then making the 4th league purely for amateur teams. At open oil and in the 15 year the players train twice a week at home the coach checks their progress on an app these players have let their team to the top of the leak if their promotion is jeopardized the clubs Vice President who is also a lawyer is considering legal action. Its a mission to do since we wouldnt accept it if our success and likely promotion was taken away from us which we can all. At this level promotion and relegation is a question for the German Football Federation the d. S. P. Because i think its problematic to have a solution where teams only get promoted and not relegated we dont even know whether well be able to start the season with the normal amount of teams. Couldnt some advice the clubs in germany have already been able to kind state supports but even that might not be enough to guarantee their survival.

The global corona crisis you can find more Information Online at d w dot com and on t. W. Social Media Channels. Now is the time to listen to the experts scientists are our best hope to end the coronavirus Pandemic Research labs around the world are racing to create a new vaccine the idea is to simulate an infection while avoiding the possibly severe symptoms of covert 19 once vaccinated our immune system should destroy the virus if we are exposed to it according to the w h o there are currently more than 60 teams of scientists working on a vaccine under normal circumstances it would take more than 10 years for the times to Previous Research efforts there is a chance this process may be fast tracked with human trials already underway in some cases but scientists agree that it will still take months until a vaccine is approved. This is your. Especially on d. W. News im monica jones in berlin good to have you with us when will a corona vaccine be ready a vaccine that enables us to resume our lives without restrictions while protecting us from the disease im afraid we need to be patient and to keep our distance for a while longer and let scientists do their job like here in berlin where a Biotech Company comes up with promising results. Berlin is empty. And those who can are staying at home. But these Lab Technicians cant work from home for them there is more work than ever the chemists at the j. P. G. Peptide company are regarded as systemically important. Since what theyre producing here could speed up the search for a Coronavirus Vaccine. Were creating peptide based tools that enable the Vaccine Developers to monitor the immune systems of patients in treatment and to track them over a certain period of time. To miss insight. Peptides are amino acid chains that make up proteins this Company Creates hundreds of thousands of them and assembles them so that they resemble the coronaviruses most important surface proteins. The scientists have been working on this project since january their work will contribute to research about the possible effectiveness of a vaccine. In the race for a Coronavirus Vaccine some scientists are focusing on the development of vaccines based on messenger r. N. A. Or r. N. A. This involves injecting a person with the instructions for part of the virus this would then spur the body to partially produce the virus this in turn encourages the immune system to develop antibodies. Then if the real corona virus strikes the person would be well equipped and able to defend himself or herself. Whether that will really work is whats being tested with the tools being developed here j p Ts Technology has already been used in the fight against the zeek of virus and ebola. The berlin based company is indirectly involved in. The race for a vaccine since it belongs to bio and tech a German Company at the forefront of the vaccine race but for j p t its not about competition. Trouble is also good i think thats the wrong way of looking at it at the moment its really about getting a vaccine onto the market it doesnt matter who does this in the end its about making a contribution and maybe being among the 1st to do so but right now its truly about fulfilling the ethical duty to help. The technicians here seem to feel the same way. Yes absolutely one can you think you can contribute to making people healthy or even healing them and its very motivating. Yes oh yes sure but i do have mixed feelings on the one hand im afraid on the other i know i have something important to contribute its exciting. It certainly is a new test could be ready soon and many are placing their hopes and the effectiveness of an m r a name based vaccine. The whole world is waiting for a vaccine but even though at least 60 teams of researchers around the globe are working to develop one no one expects a rapid breakthrough because producing a vaccine goes through several stages and that takes time and the 1st step the virus and its effects on the human body and allies to this is necessary to determine the composition on the vaccine potential vaccines are 1st tested on animals and later on this procedure is followed by testing human volunteers. I fall those tests are successful the vaccine has to go through a lengthy approval process and only after that mass production can begin this process usually takes up to 15 years but thanks to new Technologies Development can go a lot faster today. And for more im joined by Klaus Scituate take president of the Powell Institute thats the German Federal institute of faxons and bio myths its good to have you with us so 1st of all i mean should a covert 1000. 00 vaccine be fast tracked and if so what stage would be best to skip definitely we have 1st trick in the development and theres nothing to skip but rather to combine which means are we given. Poorly conceived to to the developments and to our regulatory authorities and in terms of lets say shortening the Development Time what were doing is. Focused number of Animal Studies that have to be done for example so not pharmacology toxicology or defining the dose in the animals that will be applied to humans in the 1st half and then of course we also have to combine clean contrivances so there is discussion with some of the developers would combine phase one of these 2 or phase 2. 00 and 3. 00 and increase maybe the number of general subjects that will be involved in these studies but we need to be very careful with the assessment of the element as usual but of course we can concentrate focus and shorten time or well time of course is off the essence of all those studies underway at the moment which one is the most promising you say. Well i think we need a variety of cough to vaccine development. Currently and also the devote as of herbs hazing is our need fixins and also back to since because they have the advantage that we know exactly which parts of the Genetic Information and Safety Information of the can be included in the vaccine we know this from purpose or Research Work also poorly conceived to. Respect scenes and in that respect i think we say. Ok but what about the Production Capacity of developing a vaccine is one thing but then once we have it will there be enough for everyone to shut everyone get it. I think 1st of all those who are tourists who get it 1st and freeze for severe courses of covert 19 but also the risk for being maybe a morris and others a number too many factories will be no issue specifically the army and in the vaccines can be manufactured in a large amount of those is quite a short time were talking about a 1000000 doses or so within a time period of 4 weeks and thats the river runs each of these new legs in platforms as we say and by the time we have a vaccine the pandemic will quite probably have peaked out we actually working on a vaccine for a future pandemic. Yes we are i think we learned already from the bowler. Africa were taking these kind of learnings to the development here of the south korea to fix him but we will use that time in any case to develop these platforms so that we are ready and quicker ready than this time to have a vaccine if the next and then they arise and i professor to take that from the German Federal institute of vaccines and bio med since thank you so much for your time thank you. Now time to address more of your questions and please do keep them coming on you tube on facebook on twitter or via email because our resident corona experts t w is Derek Williams stands ready to provide some answers. Ringback ringback ringback ringback ringback ringback the w. H. O. Says getting vaccinated against pathogens that cause respiratory ailments like pneumonia is always a good idea particularly for the elderly but unfortunately vaccines against a bacterial infection will not prevent you from getting the covert 19 pneumonia caused by the corona virus because its a viral pneumonia so a vaccine against a bacterial pneumonia wont stop that many Health Authorities are currently however also recommending getting vaccinated against the flu that wont prevent you from getting covert 19 either but it will hopefully cut down on the number of severe flu cases that end up in the hospital occupying a bed that might be desperately needed by a covert 1000 patient ringback ringback ringback ringback ringback. One thing thats really crippling us in this demick is that we dont know exactly who has had to cope at 19 an unknown large number of people have gotten it but dont know they were never tested because they had mild symptoms or they have maybe no symptoms at all thats incredibly Important Information because it could tell us who is no probably immune to the coronavirus its information that Going Forward is going to be essential as we try to get our societies back up and running and thats where an Antibody Test comes in the works like this when its infected with the pathogen your body forms these proteins called antibodies theyre part of its immune response and the antibodies it makes are tailored to that specific bug those antibodies remain in your system that if youve gotten over the elders helping to protect you from reinfection an Antibody Test is a diagnostic for detecting that. So an Antibody Test for covert 19 could tell us if you had it and maybe didnt even notice it if thats the case then you would theoretically no longer carry the body or be able to infect anyone else and bukit get back to work.
