Joins us live from hong kong thailand 1st how are the numbers looking there. Not good peter thailand numbers have jumped drastically 188 new cases 30 percent more than before. The for the previous day actually cases are now up to 600 so far thailand had managed to stave off a rise in cases by carefully blocking its borders very early on when the outbreak 1st came out in china they had put quite harsh restrictions of travelers from high risk country thinking that they could block out much of the infection but its somehow they have had to still manage the rise in infections that were seeing mainly because of domestic cases so a scenario that they hadnt really prepared for a 1000 most of the cases that weve seen were a rise from a boxing match where 5000 people had attended they then dispersed across the country earlier in the month many of them had not been tested then it came out that many of them i had coronavirus and now were seeing the impact of this the Health Ministry has put a partial lockdown on the capital as you said but theyre warning the younger people telling them that they should be staying at home too they are not invincible and theyre also saying that these are the people that are spreading the virus across the country meanwhile in singapore once again another country that managed to keep a lid on infections or rise in infections from the start has seen a massive jump they say its due to imported cases according to the Health Ministry over the past 3 days the spike of cases in cases 80 percent of those were due to people coming in from outside so singapores lock down its borders short term travelers from coming in. Stopped transit passengers from coming in citizens people with work permits are people are residents are allowed back into the country but they will have to be in a 14 day. Quarantine peter and was the latest from china yesterday was day 3 of no new local infections yes there were imported infections but the authorities clearly doing everything they cant ninomiya is the crossover between people who are going into the country who then test positive with people who are already in the country absolutely peter they have try their really strengthen their defenses around the borders people entering the country were tested many were going to go into Quarantine International travelers would then into the capital would have to go into quarantine and government facilities heavily regulated government facilities and the government was also starting on monday it will divert all flights away from the Capital Beijing into smaller cities where people will be screened and if deemed healthy they would be allowed back into beijing on the same flight and then be put on quarantine so they are trying very hard to stem the flow of what they call imported cases but after 3 days of no domestic all locally transmitted cases on sunday the 1st case was detected in the Southern City or Southern Province of dont want to thats one of the provinces that was not heavily affected and that case is said to be have have be connected to an imported case so raising their fears and highlighting their worries about these imported cases from overseas travelers. Thanks very much well talk to you later im sure australian states serve started shutting their internal borders as governments against all nonessential Domestic Travel with more than 1000 infections now confirmed in australian Prime MinisterScott Morrison says harsher measures may be brought in to enforce social distancing but many are ignoring the warnings of countries to most populous states New South Wales and victoria are shutting down nonessential businesses for the next 2 days journalist peter greste says governments are starting to take a harsher approach. Saying at the moment it is a New South Wales government and they d are also d announcing a closure of all essential services so that includes things like restaurants bars clubs and so on. Keeping open supermarkets keeping out of petrol stations Delivery Services and so on so that we get the basic supplies that we need. They still talking about closing down schools we havent had that sen order on that at this point but were also not seeing the kind of lockdown weve seen also in places like your hand obviously. And italy but we are moving in that direction a lot of the borders the state borders of also closed the west Australian Government has announced its closing its borders only arrivals will have to spend 2 weeks in isolation and theyre joining the governments of tasmania South Australia and northern territory. And of course as you mentioned the government is also awarded the closure of sydneys most iconic bache is because we saw children and people gathering in there at once obviously people care but i think in australia the numbers are still relatively low at last count but the troubling thing is that. The state rise in the number of cases is following the same kind of trajectory that we saw in italy in france and elsewhere that the code hasnt flattened off and i think thats started to make a lot of people very anxious and the government has also been very consistent in its messaging that this is far more serious than most people might feel initially that we have to take these kinds of measures the number of deaths in italy has reached another delhi high almost 800. 00 in the latest effort to stop the spread of the virus the government has ordered all the essential factories and businesses to close rich island has the picture from europe from our bureau in london. This military convoy in northern italy is carrying a grim cargo 30 coffins with the bodies of 30 coronavirus victims headed to a small village for chromate because there are too many covert 19 dead in the nearby city of bergen and with italy recording its deadliest day of the outbreak yet with another nearly 800 deaths that could be more convoys like this needed spain now has the 3rd highest number of infections worldwide with around 25000 the death toll has passed 1300 now to help madrid and barcelona are converting Exhibition Centers into field hospitals for the sick germany has had a spike in confirmed cases up to more than 16 and a half 1000 and there are now temporary fences on its border with switzerland the German Government is considering whether to bring in a full nationwide ban on going outside.

Is now pretty much closed pubs cafes restaurants gyms museums Nursery Schools and universities all shut for the foreseeable future the capitals buses and metro system are empty dont use them unless your job is critical people in london are being told this usually teaming metropolis is quiet. I think its good news that is good news in terms of that theyre looking after people that are losing out on their wages the fact that there are stopping hopefully all spreading by closing down the restaurants i think theyve done the right thing we went out last night for the last. Sort of tipped up a little bit higher than we should have a supposed to sort of people going along and it said for the Small Businesses but hopefully the government to kick in and sort of support people along the government is trying to stop a wave of panic buying that has stripped supermarket shelves bare this week be responsible when you shop and think of others buying more than you need means that others may be left without and it is making life more difficult for those frontline workers such as our doctors and nurses and n. H. S. Support staff who are working so hard in such difficult circumstances.
