K. Governments are both opening makeshift facilities while in spain an ice rink in madrid has been turned into a temporary morgue as the country tries to deal with the outbreak and reports of redhill in southeast england. One in 5 spanish residences age 65 or older so the devastating impact of coronavirus in the country is no surprise whats shocking is how the care system collapsed so quickly under the onslaught military emergency units of disinfecting premises as fast as humanly possible i was here in madrid the care home staff have been overwhelmed with desperate consequences. Mr lee and i know the majority are fulfilling their duties they are paying attention but listen this has to be said the army in some of their visits to the care centers has seen elderly people completely abandoned even dead in their beds with hundreds hospital morgues fall this ice rink has been requisitioned to receive and store the bodies of the coronavirus victims so infectious even in death that the staff are wearing full protective suits its really the latest clinic repurposed as a coronavirus unit has opened in rome every single patient requires truly intensive care intensive in terms of staffing and intensive in terms of equipment and there is simply not enough to go around by doing so and then i find i feel that more than a growing number of italian town mess of recorded video messages angrily ordering the public to stop flouting the lockdown rules one mayor threatens to send in the cabin yairi with a flame thrower to break up a plan the Graduation Party a critic of the shortage of Critical Care capacity in the u. K. Is being at least partly addressed with a brand new temporary hospital being created in just one week at a huge Exhibition Center in london rules the n. H. S. Nightingale hospital will comprise 2 wards each of 2000 people with the help of the military and with n. H. S. Clinicians we will make sure that we have the capacity that we need so that everyone can get the support they need. The 1st time coronavirus restrictions are now having a tangible effect on millions of u. K. Citizens a stay at home order has replaced the previous advisory guidance but not everyone seems to have grasped the urgency this Grocery Store here in red hill is about the only shop that we found open in this town but the lockdown is far from being strictly observed here and maintaining it over what could be 3 or even 4 months is going to be a real challenge and construction workers in particular sure little sign of social distancing or other precautions the example of this site in Central London was far from unusual across the u. K. But religious services of all denominations are banned wedding plans and baptism ceremonies are on hold only funerals will go ahead this virus robs the joy from society and leaves only their grief paul brennan aljazeera redhill well as confirmed cases in italy hit almost 70000 the Italian Government has increased fines for people who defy their lockdown order anyone caught leaving their home without good reason will now face fines of between 403000 euros francesco teenie is in milan and explains why officials are so worried.

Hello the night is this big yes is a little bit strange because the people here are spanish people who we are not used to be close at home you know that we are very open with we are always meeting people at street and we make a lot of her duties out outside and this is a little bit strange and we especially have our families a little bit lucky because we did it in a house but most of the people lives in flats and they have a lot of work to organize themselves with and it turned out normal family with little children and organise has a very Good Organization and feel that people have different cycle as you go states you know sun this has been as a stray as in and so on so its a little bit strange but do we know that there we have to stay at home the order of the government is clear and we have to accomplish it in order not to stop the spread the spread of the virus and what about other people in your city are they generally adhering to the restrictions and movement.

People needs to tell you they get the health and and foods and distribution they go to their place of work and to what place but not other people do you can go to to buy their cuteness but you can go to buy normally and people used to accomplish their rules then the police depletion depletes men but in many many benefits he has. That people usually competition right so we understand now that the reports seem so to suggest that the Prime Minister is saying that he will extend the state for emergency into april. What do you think of that and are you happy with your governments handling of the crisis so far. Ok me especially i think that the government could. Up the measures and act with a little bit more prevention because there we were at looking at the italian cases and and most people that ablation knew that the situation it was go into to do a book to be and many people were very. Very it i dont know how to say very very they would have we had cleared that we were going to love town and we were prepared bad people and its not its not bury it bury it with a government that we understand that the measures are difficult we understand that social. Consequences are our strong and but most people is not very happy they accomplished and they they are the only thing they only way it has this is going out to their balconies and and and complain and and complaining that in the media in the mid the Social Circle media ok well leave it there we thank you very much i got to get your thoughts thanks for joining us on aljazeera thank you.

S. Congress is moving closer to passing a coronavirus aid package but the World Health Organization fears the u. S. Could become the next epicenter in the coronavirus pandemic the new York Governor Andrew Cuomo says the worst of the outbreak will hit his state faster and harder than previously thought a day after u. S. President donald trump said he might consider lifting restrictions on the public to boost the economy cuomo has warned that easing the limits too early would cost lives gabriel his own dough has an update from new york. Andrew cuomo the governor really giving a very somber view of what new yorkers have coming to them very soon but also in some ways angry and making a call out really what these new numbers he said this said the thing is that the new thing here and the real shocking part of this is the governor saying that their rate of new infections in new york state is doubling every 3 days thats a much faster than they had thought just even 24 hours ago and he pointed out that this apex as he calls it this is the part when the massive amounts of people that are currently sick but that are going to be flooding into the hospitals at some point tens of thousands of people here according to the governor that apex will now be coming he said within 14. 00 to 21. 00 days of right now he said they need a 140000 beds hospital beds available as early as 14 days from now he said right now they only have about 50000 available so theyre short about 90000 or so. 3 american sailors on board of the Theodore RooseveltAircraft Carrier have now tested positive for the coronavirus the 1st known cases on a u.
