For one of 10 a series of highest profile players has announced her retirement 5 time grand slam champion Maria Sharapova is stepping away from the game at the age of 38. The daily tally of new coronavirus cases is now bigger outside china where the outbreak began thats according to the World Health Organization emphasizing the global spread of the epidemic europe in particular has seen a spike in cases in the past days the continents Top Health Official says panic must be avoided and a cordon 8 approach agreed as france records its 2nd death and italy its 12th meanwhile that italian outbreak has spread further a man who visited the area where cases have been recorded were turned to brazil becoming latin americas 1st diagnosis the highest death toll outside china has been in iran where 19 people have died but. The countrys president said there are no immediate plans to quarantine cities globally just over 81000 cases of corona virus have now been discovered in 42 countries some american Officials Say as a case of when not if its declared a Global Pandemic iraq has announced drastic new measures to contain the spread of the corona virus banning all public gatherings across the Country Schools have been suspended and also the mass cafes and clubs will be closed until march 7th the Health Minister also says travelers from kuwait and bahrain will be denied entry into the country iraqi citizens and are not allowed to travel to 9 countries because of the coronavirus or some owner full time joins us live from baghdad via skype what will you tell us about the new restrictions there. Well the ministry of health issued a new decree earlier this evening announcing foreign she measures in what appears to be an effort to keep her terror the spread of the virus here in iraq so far there have been 5. Cases of the coronavirus including in the Southern City of marjah and in the Northern City of kirkuk now and this latest decree imposes additional travel restrictions in addition to those that we have seen before we have travel now and from a total of nag countries including china and iran and most recently in bahrain and the degree also targets iraqis from traveling to those 9 hunters and perhaps in the most surprising of measures of the Health Ministry has said it would be for building any public gatherings closing down tough places cinemas and that clubs prevented the virus from spreading and now its uncertain what exactly will haul under these public gatherings of degree specifically mentioned composts in the mobs and clubs that did not for example mention restaurants or gentlemens to be seen whether those will also be closed and whether and how these measures will actually be enforced will he tomorrow here in the capital but that he helped officials get of Security Forces going around restaurants and cafes to actually ensure that their clothes are it is look this is normal recommendation that has been issued to travel to her 10 percent of the wires and one of the additional measures was the announcement of the closing of schools starting today until march 7th and this is the iraqi Health Care System prepared to deal with an outbreak like this. Well the chronic liar is times during a really difficult time in iraq and seen months of antigovernment protests take place and the current government is the caretaker government in fact more of there is supposed to be a parliamentary session to vote on a new government of Prime Minister designate monaco he allowed we saw the current Health Minister who actually signed up on these never used might be out of a job tomorrow and there may be a new government that will come in perhaps pick a different direction in dealing with what also turned into a crisis here in iraq now of course the protests also pose a further complication the question is whether the posters themselves which are being going on in the capital baghdad but also in other southern cities where youve seen hundreds of people gather almost on a daily basis interest presently those gatherings also considered public gatherings where the government will take additional steps to try to break those gatherings up and of course all of this happening in a country where the Health Care System. Already overburdened where its already struggling to deliver the most basic of Health Services to its citizens even during times of stability so indeed on a virus dust dragon we see a growing number of cases and many people here have a doubt whether the iraqi help your system is in the politicization to actually deal with an outbreak similar fault and thank you very much indeed and cutters in their shape to member hamada thought he has ordered the evacuation of cattery and kuwaiti citizens from iran due to the spread of infections there this after they read in president Hassan Rouhani said iran had no plans to quarantine any cities or districts in response to the countrys coronaVirus Outbreak so far just killed 19 people and infected more than 130 others including irans deputy Health Minister. In the u. S. Theres concern over whether the government is prepared for an outbreak President Trump will hold a News Conference on the virus in the coming hour as i just correspond Committee Health that joins us live from washington a community u. S. President has downplayed the threat from the virus what can we expect from his address. Yet wall we expect that he may do the same based on past statements that have at times contradicted Public Health officials the president has sought to reassure an increasingly nervous American Public hes up till now said that the risk of mortality is very low that things are under control even that a new vaccine is the close to being developed here in the United States but Health Officials do not say that in fact they say that there is risk to ordinary lives being disrupted and they are concerned about the outbreak the problem in all of this is that there have been very few americans that have been tested and so many are concerned that the number being put forward of those individuals still in the dozens that actually have coronavirus could actually be much larger so expect that the u. S. President as he appears here at the white house in about 2 hours time well has a very tough questions to as a re understand that he will be making a rare appearance in the Media Briefing room something that really has not happened before so this is significant appears the president wants to control this message the other issue in all of this is that the president has been receiving bipartisan criticism about his handling of this crisis so far particularly the money that has been requested from congress some 2500000000 dollars that is something that his opposition democrats say is significantly low in their view a top democrat senator saying that it should be 8500000000. 00 so some dispute over that in the midst of all of this there is also a dispute over whether or not there should be expanded screening many people suggesting that there is simply not enough being done at many of the nations airports the white house has put in place a task force where there was air port screening taking place as well as enforced quarantine for those that have come directly from china may be exhibiting symptoms but again there are many and there is a group sort of a groundswell if you will me United States course. The voices saying that there needs to be more and there needs to be more Public Health information so all of these are questions that the white house will have to answer the president apparently going to do it himself were watching for that very carefully again starting at 23 g. M. T. Here in washington can we how can thank you very much. Several European Countries have reported fs cases of corona virus were the biggest outbreak in northern italy there around 400 cases of the virus that the highest number of infections outside asia but a robust approach has been taken to stop the spread of a gem jew as well from a latin on life under lockdown. In less than a week life in the small town of cazalet was that lingle has completely changed the corona Virus Outbreak in northern italys lumbered the region is what did it forcing checkpoints to go up and keeping residents from getting out. Since were barred from accessing areas under quarantine we speak to volunteer medic marco frequently on skype. He worries about what will happen next but also tries to stay calm ready. I dont live alone so every time i go back home i think about it because maybe ive been in contact with someone that has it but im without symptoms and were constantly checked. Marco says he doesnt want to diminish the gravity of the crisis but he also likes looking on the bright side and tells us there are surprising benefits to living under lockdown. Its beautiful because you see kids playing in the streets the way it was many years ago during the days of our parents and grandparents there was much more lighthearted in this. d just up the road from cars with their lingo is the town of put on youre considered the center of the outbreak because the 1st locally transmitted coronavirus case was detected there at all mario protea runs a residential facility for patients with mental and physical disabilities he tells us staff at the center are doing all they can to keep the situation calm and to ensure the compound remains free of the virus. After residents understand this is a special situation and theyve adapted to it without getting too anxious even our patients who fall along the autism spectrum and usually have the most difficult time accepting changes to their routines they have accepted that this is an unusual situation. Here in the regional capital an hours drive away the anxiety is also evident as public spaces remain far quieter than usual for days Italian Government officials have been urging citizens not to panic the people under quarantine weve been speaking to are heeding that advice as corona virus cases in the country continue to rise they find themselves growing more concerned but they say theyre doing their utmost to remain calm and im a gentleman 0 milan well a brazilian man who visited it and hes alone the day region has been confirmed as latin americas 1st case law on this lets go to our latin america editor to see newman and century ago you see what the president is doing to contain the spread of the virus. That very very little that they can do right now its carnival which is as you know a festival that brings out 100 not just hundreds of thousands but millions of brazilians out onto the streets and thousands and thousands of visitors from abroad people spend day and night out on the streets very very crowded conditions and one of the the common practices during carnival is kissing and other close forms of contact with total strangers that type of thing that helps to spread disease and could spread a virus so authorities are concerned but right now they dont want to cause any panic so far what theyve done is tried to track down the people that were on the plane from its really that that also had the one person whos already been confirmed to be carrying the coronavirus she came on that plane also the list of the suspect countries has been broadened to include now france and italy the United Arab Emirates malaysia and australia passengers coming from those countries will now be automatically tested say brazilian authorities thats about all they can do for now if theyre also saying that they are very keenly monitoring just how this virus will react in a hot humid country this is apparently the 1st time that the virus has arrived on a continent with the same conditions or rather with the conditions that brazil has and keep in mind that it is summer here in south america right now where i am in chile its about 34 degrees and its that case in most of south america right now countries all over are bracing themselves for the arrival of the corona virus which they had estimated wouldnt jump over into this continent until about april but clearly its moving a lot faster than anybody had anticipated and thank you very much indeed.
