A reported. I am. Fighting intensifies in libya between moral courage after and the internationally recognized gulf. Will begin this news hour in south korea where least 116 people who were cleared of the coronavirus have again tested positive south korea reported 51 similar cases last week its raising concerns in the government as it tries to stamp out infections mcbride isnt solved he says its a major setback in the fight against cope with 19. It is a worrying development this is a phenomenon that epidemiologists in the center of Disease Control here have been studying for quite a while the months this Large Population of people here who got sick towards the end of february beginning of march who got the virus who with another treated in hospital or treated at home and some 7000 of those people have recovered and as part of their own going treatments of gradually being retested and worryingly there has been this trend of finding now more than 100 cases amongst this population of several 1000 people who have tested positive again so these were people who were clear and they had had tests either in hospital look at clinics Testing Centers it proved to be negative and more than 100 now 3 have now tested positive 7 questions here for the experts is what is causing this is this a reinfection people coming into contact with a carrier and getting the infection again or more worried they use a reactivation that somehow they were may not have been asymptomatic at they may not have been certainly on the face of it infectious but seem to have possibly still being carrying the virus in some dormant form possibly deep in body tissue that somehow has managed to become reactivate so it is a worrying trend here does that mean that there has been a problem in testing and does it mean certainly that there are many more questions about this virus that the experts simply dont know about it logically menthe is a professor of Infectious Disease there demi ology at Curtin University in the australian city of perth he says the numbers of re infections in south korea may not tell the whole story. One thing that probably hasnt been i think recognize what really is a night diagnostic test is that for any for any disease. And even with an extremely highly sensitive and specific diagnostic test like the b. C. R. Test the purport of our it just in very bad numbers of the population and for disease which is a very low prevalence you will expect to see a number of people that we dont actually have the disease which is the was a Predictive Value of the test so its one possible explanation is that in korea where theres been extremely large numbers of people being tested a number of those people who are testing positive actually are not infected. The other the other explanation i think is potentially that the infections are is the this is doing and the other cases are reactivating or all the viruses being picked up i think whats very very unlikely is that these people are infected by or. Theres plenty of evidence to suggest that there is quite as from the response. With run a virus and that should protect people from infection for a period of time russia is reporting its largest daily crease yet of more than 2 and a half 1000 new cases the government says 148 russians have died with the number of infections passing 18000. The government has spent years reforming the Health Care System to make it more efficient but critics say its left hospitals too short of beds doctors and nurses the foster reports from moscow. This is one of 3 major Infectious Diseases hospitals in moscow a city of nearly 13000000 people 2 of its buildings were recently demolished when the covert 19 pandemic had already started last year moscows mayor announced that a new hospital will be built here but its unclear when. Genco has for years protested against how cuts. I think whats happened here is a crime and maybe prosecutors should look into it i want to officially demand that prosecutors should get involved and find out why it needs to pandemic they demolish one of the Major Centers in moscow to could packer late some statistics show that nearly half of all hospitals have been closed nationwide here in this video opposition figure ilyushin estimates 60 hospitals were closed in moscow alone the government calls it optimize ation of health care merging hospitals are turning them into poorly clinics in an effort to be more Cost Effective but experts say in reality theres often meant closing them down this hospital was close in 2015 and an estimated 400 medical workers lost their jobs or even if they didnt close a hospital we could have received 570 patients thats how many beds we had officially im an infection ist this profession has its own specifics we know how to follow an anti epidemiological regime there were no cases of into hospital infection and our hospital. Medical workers around russia have been complaining about the lack of protective equipment and the heavy workload they are facing working with grown up patients yes lisa truss if the same happens us what we see in the south of europe. Can fail to cope even in moscow i dont know how the situation will develop its impossible to predict but this teaches that you cant sort loosely reform the Health Care System you should think what the consequences might be what risks appear as a result of it. Mosco authorities have not responded to our requests for comment a new Infectious Diseases hospital is rapidly being built outside the capital and extra bets have been added to existing hospitals but medical experts say details spittles lead to specialist 9000 patients need they fear these measures might not be enough when russia reaches its peak of the epidemic step fasten aljazeera monday morning in spain the scene some nonessential business is reopen after an almost 3 weeks shutdown another 517. 00 deaths linked to the virus were also reported that fewer than on sunday the loosening of the lockdown is being criticized by spaniards worried about a resurgence in the disease 17000. 00 died so far with close 2170000 confirmed cases so joins us live from madrid via skype as i mentioned there some people a bit worried think it may be a little bit early to return to work how much of a return to work has there been this monday. Well 1000 of spanners are going back to were returning to work today after 15 days of a tougher measures of the law down where nonessential that were going to come you were back and so these were decision was taken because there was a. In place if you care unit Health Care System was completely collapse and there were a king at 80 percent of the capacity to learn the government spends government decided to take all these measures you know that in order to contain the spread of the coronavirus in spain so after these 2 weeks of tougher measures he doesnt just doesnt mean spains lockdown hes we escalate team were going back to the beginning were going back to march 14th or the state of the marriage was to create a loved one instead of a magazine nationwide so thousands of us plan is as i was saying are returning to work to date sectors like construction manufacturing all these sectors economy has been really touch after the coronaVirus Outbreak in spain we lost like 100000 jobs in only 2 weeks the last 2 weeks of march so the scenario the economy theres a big huge economic crisis in spain this is now you are facing is the worst since the spanish civil war so we think thats the government of these decision due to the economy measures of the spike has prompted a huge criticism amongst is probably going to some of them at and other Political Parties or president s of other regions like at the learning at that same that these may cause and as a 2nd wave of corona Virus Outbreak in spain and the damage much more spanish economy and social and spanish economy when interviewed all these workers today a Spanish Government gesticulate the gotland of the protocol for these people to to to to return to work and they said that people had to learn that the owners of the companies had to supply personal protective equipment. And they had to get keep the social distancing all the people that were not able to work for arent remotely from home and that had been in touch with other people infected with coronavirus that had to remain at home should go back to work people that were set that that were nonessential workers construction manufacturing but when i interviewed this morning take in the public trash full of people that can walk to work by their own means well the police were handing out masks that were saying that they were not killing same that this mission was taken very early that they could not keep the social distance of 2 meters between between the people on the people because of that we have to remember that public transport like train stations and subway stations metro stations are one of the hotspots of this current outbreak so this has prompted criticism of Political Parties and even though theres a need citizens that are returning to work today why mother updating us from madrid because thomas is an associate professor at City University of hong kong is also a specialist on Health Security and editor of infections diseases and security he says its crucial for governments to have a clear picture of the outbreak before they consider lifting lockdown measures. Irrespective of what type of political system were looking at whether it be a liberal democracy or an authoritarian system politicians always have to focus on the the feeling among society but they also have to lead because people do understand the fact that there has to be some sacrifice if were going to get ahead of this now unfortunately were seeing some politicians playing to very much the dice political mood which is putting politics ahead of Health Policy and ahead of good science saying that we can restart the economy that we can all be back to work within a week or so that just doesnt play out to be fair i need Public Health emergency always does balance the health against economic and social considerations but in most cases were not there yet and the major problem with coated of course is that a large proportion of all the cases are a symptomatic we simply dont know how many cases there are out there now if we cant maintain the quarantines the social isolation the social distancing enough to get that flattened so that were not going to see a resurgence in the disease later on or were going to be doing is playing catch up to a disease that moved from being a pandemic once off to being endemic in a number of countries around the world now china has reported its highest number of new coronavirus cases in almost 6 weeks Authorities Say 108 people were infected over the past day mostly travelers returning from abroad while that number is low its adding to concerns of a possible 2nd wave of cases sarah clarke is in hong kong she says authorities are putting in place new measures in areas with growing cases.
