Supplies prosecutors in the us take on pandemic profiteers. Prime minister Boris Johnson remains in charge despite being treated in hospital for chronic virus treatment and sometimes thats the assessment of the British Foreign secretary dominic robb who has given an update on johnsons condition Prime Minister himself has tweeted that hes in good spirits after being admitted with persistent symptoms as youll note last night the Prime Minister was admitted to hospital for tests following advice from his doctor this was a precautionary step because he continues to have persistent current of our symptoms 10 days off the 1st having tested positive for the dollars i can tell you the pm how they come to annoy hospital and hes in good spirits. Hes still in hospital under observation hes been given regular updates on developments and he continues to lead the government now germany which is kept its mortality rates low is helping harder hit european neighbors chancellor Angela Merkel says the facing the biggest test of its existence all in the u. S. The governor of new york state the countrys at the center says hes increasingly convinced theyre at or at least near the peak of there and factions is going out to entertain baba who is in london so. For shots and colleagues insist that he is still working even while in hospital but the question is is that even a good idea. Thats right and that was a question richard which several journalists did to former secretary dont rob who was leading that briefing and also who chant the day he said Cabinet Meeting the 1st time that dominic and sorry that Boris Johnson hasnt done so you via video link since he actually went into isolation so. Dont rock didnt really want to give much away he said he insisted that the Prime Minister continues to be in charge of government making decisions getting regular updates and that he stayed in hospital overnight from sunday to monday. Where he was taken as a precautionary step his words because he continued to display symptoms of covert 19 those symptoms we understand that include a High Temperature and a cough but he was known to have undergone tests now usually to test those tests including. Things to do with the condition of ones lungs we havent heard any details on that but several of the journalists wanted to know how it was possible for him to be serious enough to stay in hospital until now but to continue to make the important decisions and one Crucial Detail that came out was dont rob said he hadnt spoken directly to the Prime Minister since saturday so the man whos now in charge of this really of rather event of leading the press in refitting hasnt spoken to the Prime Minister whos running the show since saturday slightly surprising but the government says well the foreign secretary and the 2 chief scientists that he was joined by didnt give much away on the money on Boris Johnsons condition but we do know that or is johnston still displays those symptoms so there will be questions and i think in the days to come as to how we will he is in fact has so that was a significant part of the briefing and from downing in the last hour hour and a half or so but also there was focus on new numbers and questions about what is actually going on with these lockdown measures. Absolutely so as predicted to be fed to go chief scientific adviser and cabinet ministers the death toll continues to rise in 24 hours to monday 439 new deaths recorded in hospital due to the corona virus taking the time to death toll in hospitals or 5373. 00 now and lots of journalists were asking about whether the public might expect the restrictive measures to be lifted or what kind of exit strategy the government is planning to move people towards a less restrictive regime is 2 weeks now that people have been told to stay indoors unless they really have to go outside well over the weekend there were fewer incidents of people breaking the social distancing guidelines and in fact a cab or government minister has said that local councils should only close down parks as a last resort we did see that measure take it for one day here in south london. What was perceived to be people breaking the rules and not going out for exercise but just to lie in the sun as it were another thing that sort of being warned about so on that front is been the host and been told they must not advertise their properties as coronavirus getaways which are power and some people have been doing in tourist areas the voice from government is that the law says that can only be done for key workers who need to self isolate otherwise that is breaking the law so some surprising actions better but the message from the government is that its too early to know when people can move out of these restrictive measures because its only now 2 weeks after they were introduced that the debt interest starting to be credible so look to wards when the a rise in cases will plateau and deputy chief scientific adviser to the government clearly says we cannot look at the next phase and 2 weve got more strong days here on that richelle ok with a wrap up from london in team thank you. Italys daily coronavirus test toll went up to 636. 00 on monday just a day after dropping to its lowest level in over 2 weeks but the pace of the new infections the pace is slowing more than 16500 people have now died in italy that is the highest number in the entire world is going to francesco to return as in milan so francesco tell us more about the numbers and what what are the signs that were seeing from the pacing. Well new figures from italy confirm a positive trend somehow and in the curve of the new infected today they increase by 3600. 00 its less than the 3 percent daily and the total confirmed cases are now over 132000 and the good news is the decrease in the number of hospitalized patients in intensive care units for the 3rd day in a row this will gave a bit of relief to the Health System that is the huge pressure has been under huge pressure for weeks unfortunately the deaths went up again in the last 24 hours in italy. 636 new fatalities more than 16500 people died in the country since the outbreak the curve of the infection and the way it keeps flattening and shows that the restrictive measures implemented 4 weeks ago are paying off everyone now its looking forward to the phase 2 as the Prime Minister has a pic on to called it a few days ago referring to the time when the nation will have to live with the virus and gradually start lifting up the lockdown but its still very early to say when when this will happen the head of the Civil Protection made a forecast few days ago saying italians could have to stay home until mid may but these provisions were not conferred by the government yet at least the next days will be crucial to understand what are the plans of the government for 4 weeks to come because nobody knows at the moment.
