Thats right were hearing that 4 chinese provinces you 9 kwaito going dong and sense you have lowered their alert level centrally encouraging people to get back to work as theyve had 0 confirmed cases in recent days over a few confirmed cases which is a very positive thing but still weve had 415 of our 460 new confirmed cases it Just Announced in the past 24 hours and 150 confirmed dead now the new case number it is gradually getting lower but the death rate from there is remaining rather steady we have to also remember we still have about 4000 suspected cases and about 10000 people fighting for their lives in Critical Condition the president xi jinping has said over the weekend that this is the Biggest Health crisis that china has faced since the founding of the communist party of the founding of the republic and its still really in the middle of this battle china still needs to really work hard to curb the outbreak not only of who bay province but also theyre paying attention to beijing with a has been some jumps in numbers in recent days president xi jinping and this morning during a press conference weve heard that they are new economic measures that theyre putting in place to try to really contain the impact of this on chinas economy at the same time they are balancing that act of containing this outbreak what while encouraging people to go back to work and certainly at the end of today were expecting to hear an announcement sometime in the next few hours about whether in Chinas National Peoples Congress which is the key economic event or key political events to take place every year usually in the beginning of march were going to hear as to whether that will be delayed or that will go ahead that would give us really a clear repitch or as to whether were going to see the end of this outbreak anytime soon trina thanks very much for joining us live from seoul so rob quite the different picture where you are. Absolutely still on this new red alert level low the level was raised yesterday sunday to the highest level for this disease and the Health Ministry has been giving regular updates this monday as you mentioned there an increase of 161. 00 new cases that is slightly higher than yesterday sunday figure about the same saturdays figure so we have a fluctuating figure but obviously the trend is still upwards and the ministry was also pushed on its policy of containment whether it could carry on with this policy basically containment involves taking every case of corona virus as it as it occurs investigating that case to see where the person may have been infected from who that person has met to have those people tested obviously the more cases you get the invent the caseload the investigative work that you have to do becomes a huge and at a certain point the ministry has admitted that if they are pushed there they have many more cases and it stresses the system they may have to abandon the policy of containment and simply go to mitigation basically trying to limit the damage except that this is spreading through the community and try to limit the damage but for the moment they say that containment is working theyre going to continue with this policy but just to give you an idea of the kind of scale of the problem especially in the daegu area this is the area in the southeast of the country where they have had these outbreaks they are reckoned to be because this is peak flu season around 30000. 00 people with flu symptoms now if all of those people present themselves at hospitals at Testing Centers which are rapidly being set up then all of those have to be investigated for the coronavirus so its a huge task consequently the ministry is asking for all sorts of volunteers medical personnel in the southeast of the country to come along and help out. These Testing Centers and Infectious Diseases wards just to be clear up when we talk about dig as a potential epicenter are we talking about a city a region or are we talking about this church because weve also been discussing so many people who are members of the congregation there. It is the city of daegu is the 4th largest city in south korea and also neighboring county of chung doe and now theres weve had 2 clusters of cases yes one of them has been in the city itself involving this church but there is a link between that and a 2nd cluster which were happened in a hospital in chengdu go in the neighboring county so those are between them basically the epicenter of the outbreak and of the figures the 161 new cases being reported today monday the vast majority of those are members of that one congregation there are hundreds of people who are said to be sick who have reported flu like symptoms as the medical teams go around and investigate those they are detecting and confirming many more cases of coronavirus the upside is that basically the congregation themselves know that they are at risk they are being told and are taking self quarantine measures and so far at least any new cases that have cropped up because there have been cases reported throughout south korea individuals in various cities across the country they have all been linked back to this area of south east southeast south korea but have not so far created as far as we know any new clusters rob thank you. Well iran is being isolated by its neighbors because of growing fears over the coronavirus outbreak for new infections have been recorded in the capital tehran 7 in the holy city of qom to england province and one each in mccaskey province and to the cabal now in a bid to stop the spread pakistan closed its borders with iran on sunday as have armenia and turkey in the northwest ankara has also halted all incoming flights in afghanistan has suspended all road and air travel to its neighbor 3 afghans are currently being tested for the virus after entering from iran and iraq is scanning arrivals of fears that hundreds of thousands of iranians visiting holy sites could bring the virus across the border dorset baris in tehran with more on how the authorities there are responding. The number is of course significant because they are worried that the containment process is really something that they need to address as quickly as possible the outbreak started in the holy city of which is about 120 kilometers south of the capital tehran officials believe that a chinese worker construction worker was the source of the outbreak in that city you know they have since closed schools and universities not only but in about 2 thirds of the cities across the country in the capital all the major events have been canceled including the governments Foreign Ministry briefing that was to be held on monday and we also understand the terror on university dormitories have been evacuated as well the Health Ministry has also said that the masks and this in fact and will no longer be sold in pharmacies because the government will be hanged handing them out in a public metro stations as well as buses across the cities austria has stopped all train traffic to and from italy over fears to do with the coronavirus earlier denied entry to a train from venice after 2 travelers were suspected of having the illness meanwhile its elise Prime Minister has announced a quarantine on several more than tons of acting 50000 people the last 2 days of the venice comedy have also been cancelled catherine stansell has more. More drastic measures in italy as doctors struggle to contain the spread of the corona virus the mayor of milan has ordered schools to close for at least a week sporting events in the. Regions have been cancelled so have the final days of the world famous tennis carnival disappointment to thousands of revelers. It is useless to stop a carnival because there are hospitals and bars and supermarkets and restaurants and trains and planes and ferries which are all open spaces and so how do you solve this problem stopping a carnival its all ridiculous panic is more contagious and a virus. At this point has been unnecessary and you think and the lock down in northern italy has gone from urging everyone to stay indoors to a fully fledged quarantine Prime Minister decepticons has banned people from entering and leaving the regions where the virus is most prevalent and the army is being deployed to ensure the quarantine is observed. A list of we on the Health Authorities have not been able to locate patient 0 because we havent identified this is difficult to make any predictions about how the virus will spread so the only volley to be taken was to close off these territories this is going to support putting the corn chain has led to a rush to buy supplies and with the sudden increase in new cases many italians are worried. Were all afraid but were crossing our fingers o. B. L. Right if someone doesnt feel well they should react early because people can be cured if they come to hospital in a desperate situation its much more difficult to cure them. With more than 130. 00 confirmed cases of the coronavirus italy is the worst hit country in europe every day life for many here looks like it will remain at a standstill until the outbreak can be contained catherine stansell al jazeera.
