The leaders have been holding an emergency teleconference on the corona Virus Outbreak all 27 Member States have reported cases of the virus and the efforts are being made to contain the outbreak as well as mitigate the Economic Cost of it italy is at the forefront of the crisis and the whole country is in lockdown in the last day a 168. 00 new deaths have been recorded bringing the total toll to 631 hold reports. European Union Leaders are grappling with the fact that one of their own italy is under a nationwide restrictions to slow the spread of coronavirus. And usually theyre having to figure out what needs to be done at a distance from one another via video link the days of e. U. Council summits bustling with politicians and press in brussels are over for now visit if you want to overcome this challenge we need a more engaged and mobilized europe standing beside the Member States and all the players in order to coordinate actions contain and push back the virus. The virus is now present in all 27 Member States and theyll be a keen awareness that whats happening in italy may soon happen elsewhere for the next 3 weeks at least 60000000 italians will be encouraged to remain behind closed doors as much as possible with restrictions on travel and Group Gatherings sure to affect their daily lives few will go to work none will go to school or university all will hope that if they get the virus theyll recover at home rather than in italys overstretched Health System the costs are clear from the tourist sites roads near empty and impressive piazzas deserted fellow e. U. Members spain and austria have halted flights on italian routes how sustainable is all this for a country already on the edge of recession and how effective are these measures anyway. We cant necessarily say what happens in one country always ups and happens in another country but there are really really important things that china has taught us they had an enormous outbreak vast numbers of cases and they took very very strong measures when you look at the epidemiological curve it was going up like this the numbers and then it starts to flat when they took those actions and has come down very very steeply and yes we want to see that happen in other countries after italy france is the next worst affected country in europe president mccrone urged calm but said his countrys epidemic is just beginning france and germany have been relatively restrained in the measures theyve imposed so far some School Closures and restrictions on Sports Events and public gatherings spain has closed schools in the capital madrid and suspended its lower house of parliament after an m. P. Tested positive and greece has closed all schools and universities for 2 weeks. Were now taking care of the children and the grandparents who are the people with the highest risk is if things get complicated because we have to combine our personal life with our work life its complicated everyone must prepare to incorporate coronavirus into their daily lives not easy if youre the Prime Minister of the netherlands who alongside a Health Official announced a new policy of no handshakes before promptly leaning over and shaking hands. With storage or told. Jonah how al jazeera where luigi down jello. Is the Operations Director of the emergency coordination at italys the parliament for Civil Protection and he joins me now via skype from rome sir thank you so much for joining us here on aljazeera the measures that have been put in place in italy over the past 24 hours or among the strictest that have ever been put in place in a democracy in modern times explain to us why they were necessary. Yeah the government took these a decision but nowadays we dont have any red so and theres no block on the road so we did that the media guys the county but there were the government to make it clear to the mocha city into the participation the active but its the creation of the city we need that any incident be perfect to make it where there are now its time to stay home now its time to reduce the moment because our objective is to reduce the in factors and end the. Cause mission of the virus from one people to another so all we ask of the citizen to stay home recruits the school with it used a lot the mobility of course we got on the Public Service or into the life of the community but we want to reduce the mopey thats the. Government. A lot of the measure is considered to be got round with some Self Certification of people say they have to travel for whatever reasons a work or other emergency so are you putting it a loss on the personal responsibility that people may feel and also what is it that you fear you i guess your worst fear for the scenario initially if the mobility is introduced the way that these measures hope it will. Yet these measures are an aim of the 2 to reduce the transmission of the virus to you know im there to reduce the number of people in intensive therapy requesting intensive care in the hospital that is specially in the north part of italy we want to want to arrive to a subdivision of the not been most places in the hospital of people needed intensive care thats why we have to reduce the spread of the violence in order to through the bottleneck of intensive. At the within the hospitals and beside these we have doing some other measures we are checking people at the airport we are making sort of a yes and we had even that putting it break free as you before had the hospital in the 1st room of the osce because you know there are 2 and probably because D Michelle Pfeiffer so some nice dinners but do we really hang in there a lot to rise the awareness of our cities because the movement of cities in is what we have now to be aware of but the whole of the north had already been pretty much on lockdown and then it was decided to extend that to the whole country so why did you decide to extend it to the whole country did you fear a lot of the scenes that we did see action of people getting into trains in milan heading for the south. Yeah course the very 1st minute youre in order to or to be identify at redzone was of course appropriate but unfortunately this thread of the virus in our country was but he had really much much before crossing some areas and im fortunate that if it was spread or most in different areas almost all over the county so thats why we need it now to extend the meters as a signal not as a red zone but we call this sort of orange so on all the county look now to reduce mobility and the representatives from the 27 Member States are actually having a teleconference right now about this issue what advice would you give to your neighboring countries about what might happen there in a few weeks and i guess now to try to stop it yes weve got a lot of left learn from this experience a lot of Good Practice is that we already share it with our counterparts in the Member States but most of all we call for a unique coordination we need to get the measures that we took in anybody need to be taken in or the other countries all on the if we go coordinated and we only risk we have you know unique object if all of the europe we can that we can reach. That we can we can call back to cope with these problem and just a final point to you do you think that people both i guess with initially and outside of italy have understood how great the risk the potential risk is. I must say that since yes that they since our redness brought to all the cow tree the awareness is now higher because. Probably people look at this problem too far from their home but to date anybody anybody is an inappropriate attitude in a way of mice in sense that we know that we all have to cope with this problem together so now its better understood that must say to us all citizen and how long will you wait before seeing or announcing whether these measures of worked on or what are you looking for now we think the next 3 can yeah there so we didnt 2 weeks we hope to see the yes the act of these measures the progress echo this as yours of course we always keep our left the very high we keep monitoring what happens in the county but we need to wait there one week and yell at us when you would you dont gel Operations Director of emergency coordination at italys the palming for Civil Protection service thank you for your time especially in what must be a very busy time for you right now thank you well there are fears of course that the outbreak could cause a global recession so far the Aviation Industry has been particularly badly affected the e.
