For just a brit as natalia journalist she joins me now from hours on the lombardo in northern italy i believe your now francesca in a supermarket what are you seeing there. As you can see yes im in a supermarket and thats why im keeping my mask on because riyadh i mean theyre inside and this is actually one of the. More aust risky places because of course you have to touch objects so what you can see behind me you can see i mean everybody is in everybody that is not yet in the one in line you have to stay a one meter at least usually its more than one meter a way from each out there and everybody these wearing a mask and gloves and now that is i mean i was coming here there is a meeting in the municipality with a group of ts and of the suit protection and probably from to morrow it loose in this town and in the town nearby supermarkets would be not shut down i mean would be open but bessie kelly food would be carry you know or. You would you will get all your food for everybody there trying to understand if you know its feasible so theyre out of talking about that right now so indeed in terms of the logistics of people trying to survive joining this lockdown is one thing but obviously the numbers of those that have died or have been confirmed to have the virus still continues to rise what is the situation in the red zone where you are right now. You know i serve here no one is reading the number of sense that the sticks that everybody has that hes reading because you know most of the seek out a tall man so outside of the official doubt and thats why no one is really hearing anymore the number. The more these are you know its quite strange because somehow the got to use that to heat i mean they are starting really to react at the same time they are all all talking of the day all the time its impressive i mean if. You are speaking with the foreign readings you can be sure that its you know in new that and when you walk the only people you know the 3 early you see the scene from to funeral announcements everybody stops in front of you know or the waltz with funeral announcements to check the new that or just of course well continue to monitor events with you through the day continue to join up with you as the day progresses for the moment thank you well italy may be bearing the brunt of the outbreak in europe but many other countries in the region are also feeling the impact from all this that circus overton leave barking in our london news center and leaving as you heard from francesco a very odd mood in italy in this lockdown but you know everybody really looking at how italy deals with this they could in directly have the answer. They could and whats happening at the moment across the rest of europe is that people are watching whats happening in italy with great concern great consternation but also seeing what may unfold it may be viewed as something as a cautionary tale of what is to come in other parts of europe we know of course italy france germany are the worst affected by the coronavirus so far and the feeding within the European Union at least is that perhaps its now time to coordinate efforts so later on choose day it will be an unprecedented Video Conference meeting of e. U. Leaders trying to do exactly that to coordinate efforts to try to mitigate the impact of the coronavirus about that meeting by via video link up very much a sign of the times and also the European Parliament too will be debating on shoes day the role of a Coronavirus Task force and later on of the week on thursday they will vote on exactly what role that task force should should take Going Forward whether that means tighter controls on the borders of course if youre in the e. U. Youre able to cross borders very very freely what does it mean for the future of that fluid travel for the movement of people so important. To the e. U. When it comes to a founding cornerstone of what the membership is all about but beyond the individual countries are taking their own option as well moldova not an easy you member has banned the arrival of all foreigners on all flights from all countries affected by the coronavirus the Czech Republic has followed france and germany and banning large gatherings of more than several 100 people we know the coronavirus cases have been reported on both sides of cyprus and the turkish side and the Greek Cypriot side as well and also reports in france that frances culture minister has joined several lawmakers in. Testing positive for the coronavirus so great concerns there and perhaps also an indication of how it simply challenging it is to follow the advice from Health Advice as mark rutter the dutch Prime Minister has advised people in the netherlands to try to resist shaking hands and promptly after giving that advice he turned around and shook the hands of one of his Health Advisors its certainly not easy to follow the advice that people are being given indeed of course well continue to monitor events with you as well from london thanks me for. Chinas present xi jinping is visiting with the epicenter of the coronavirus to inspect epidemic control efforts its the 1st time hes visited the region since the outbreak began in december china has announced that all its temporary coronavirus hospitals and have been shut down the visit is seen as a sign that the government feels its gaining control of the outbreak sarah clarke is in hong kong and says trying to find me has some good news on the virus. His visit has been seen as a signal being conveyed from china to the rest the world that the country has now seen the worst of the epidemic were seeing a vision from released by chinas state media showing shooting pain visiting with him which of course is the epicenter of the a corona Virus Outbreak now the vision shows him visiting the hospital that was built in about 10 days that shots of him talking to the medical staff the hospital authorities and those patients in that particular hospital and the message that hes sending to norway and passing on to those particular people as well as the rest the world is is one of victory hes telling those people that china can fight and contain this epidemic of announce the closure of all those hospital pointing centers in will hand and those are the centers that were testing in and monitoring those people who are showing symptoms of the krajina virus so certainly some good news out of china on tuesday state media is releasing some details suggesting that the government there will start to lift that lockdown for passionately that lockdown and thats by means of a particular Monitoring System its by phone where the residents within will have will be able to get some friends of freedom returned to the people whove been locked down for months now now its its going to be by a q. R. Code the patience of the people the residents there will be given a Health Status of their health as will be assessed and theyll be a q. R. Code assessed or dedicated those particular people through a color system if youve got the red that means youve got the infection if youre yellow it means that you could have the infection because youve been linked to associated with people who have had the corona virus but if you got the green color this means that you will be able to leave your home. But the crow Virus Outbreak is worsening in the occupied west bank where the Palestine Health ministry has confirmed another infection bring the total to 26. 00 tourists have been burned from batley home for at least 2 weeks starving to be country stopping the economy probably of an important source of revenue holy sites are being disaffected and schools closed there is that it but he was in ramallah he says among the latest cases is a palestinian who works in israels parking concerns about how of the workers will be attacked. This is an important issue because we are talking about tens of thousands of palestinian workers who go into israel every day for work they go through checkpoints that are usually very crowded which could mean that some of them will be corrected or we will discover that they have been infected in the next few days now currently the way the occupied west bank is on the closure by israels border cajun of the jewish holiday of so so far for the past 4 days none of them have been able to go but it remains to be seen really whether the Palestinian Government is going to be banning those both the new workers from going there it has no repeat no way of implementing that mechanism these checkpoints and mandan monitors monitored by the israeli themselves so the Palestinian Government spokesperson said that its a wait and see at this point and he threw the bowl in israels court if they were going to be banning those palestinians was it from going now the post an economy is going to be suffering from this crisis as per the palestinian Prime Minister mohammed that you he says hes expecting the crisis to last for 4 months he says that the losses could be estimated at 100000000. 00. All the 114000 cases worldwide with infections reported in 115 countries all regions she had and in china the number of new reported case cases continues to slam all the stuff alexei braun. The corona Virus Outbreak began in december last year in the chinese city of about 11000000 people. Just so scientists who study epidemics have traced the source to a Seafood Market where they think the virus was initially transmitted from animals to people and on the 13th of january the 1st case of the new corona virus outside china was reported in thailand and now almost 2 months on this shows how far the virus has spread those big red circles are the hot spots china of course but also south korea iran and italy a team of Johns Hopkins university in the United States started tracking the numbers of cases deaths and the people whove recovered the totals are always changing but this is how they looked about 9 g. M. T. On Tuesday Morning just over 4000 deaths 114544 cases and just over 64000 patients have recovered that means there are about 50000 active cases remember these are confirmed cases because in countries such as iran its thought far more people are infected then the government said missing and scientists believe most people will only have mild symptoms so they could be many Walking Around in our communities not feeling sick or knowing they carrying the virus but lets go back to where it all began china this graph shows us how many cases are reported daily with a spike in mid february when there was a brief change in how patients were diagnosed china still has by far the most cases about 21000 but thats been leveling off in recent days with only 19 cases reported on tuesday however scientists warn that it may take months if not years for the full impact of the corona Virus Outbreak to be known. For the World Health Organization she says other countries should learn from chinas experience of the outbreak. We cant necessarily say what happens in one country always helps and happens in another country but there are really really important things that china has taught us they had an enormous sum break vast numbers of cases and they took very very strong measures they asked everybody not to move they asked everybody to distance socially that stay at least a metre away from each other they asked everybody to be absolutely festive its about personal hygiene and they also paid attention to environmental hygiene make sure they clean the place deep cleaned everywhere and as you say as were talking about the numbers are extraordinary the thing that you can really see when you look at the epidemiological curve and i dont have it with me unfortunately but it was it was going up like this the numbers and then it starts to flatten when they took those actions and has come down very very steeply and thats what you want to see in a really bad outbreak youll see a very very high point he could have but they flatten the curve and yes we want to see that happen in other countries also had him on aljazeera turkey and russia agreed to have been a key part of the latest cease fire deal in syria well have those details coming up.
