Well i know lisa wilder smith is a professor of emerging Infectious Diseases at the London School of hygiene and tropical medicine she joins us over skype from loose there madam thank you so much for joining us here on aljazeera weve seen just just how differently a lot of countries are approaching the socalled 2nd phase the initial lifting of the various lockdowns what do you think the dangers are considering that even in places like the United States was just technically obviously one country even there different states are going their own way what is the danger of not having a global approach to this a global approach it will be difficult because every country and even within the country places are at a different stage of the outbreak and needs and they need different lockdown measures so so i would not expect a centralized have an easing of the lockdown measures it will be done sequentially as countries come out of the you know have to have kept that down break its difficult to compare like for like with the various countries but so far who do you think is going in the right direction when it comes to the lifting of the lockdown so all in Asian Countries so far i have done better they reacted earlier there were better prepared they stepped up their testing much faster and they and they did much better case detection as well as Contact Tracing they also where more proactive in travel restrictions and quarantine measures. A lot of countries will obviously go their own way when it comes to lifting restrictions but one thing that has to have some kind of Global Cooperation is Global Travel travel between nations what do you make of the british idea thats been floated not confirmed but floated that anyone who flies or travels to the country needs to then be quarantined for 2 weeks you think thats the future so theres a lot of new ideas chinas doing it singapore has been doing it for several weeks so the idea is that you want to reduce the introduction importation of new cases that could trigger new outbreaks and the 14 days are the 14 days of the. Long going to be asian time. So looking at the situation in a lot of the countries that we were highlighting what do you think the biggest risk is because obviously the virus doesnt really respect the borders so if one country is doing everything right but the country or state next door isnt what are the dangers all of the contagion spreading between countries even if some nations implement the 15 days isolation. And travel restrictions have really 2 purposes one it is to protect a country that has currently no cases or a very low number of cases and this as a protected country is currently overwhelmed it is how consistent dealing with the outbreak and they cannot also sort out the risk of it were taken off of new cases so the trial mr actions where the right thing to do but travel restrictions we cannot continue and at one stage there will be an almost equilibrium between countries and then i do not see a rationale for further travel restrictions travel restrictions are not good for trade and travel but also in past some of the responses because we need an exchange of goods to develop our test but also of of diplomacy and also obviously of that of research and expertise. Annalisa wilder smith professor of merging Infectious Diseases at the London School of hygiene and tropical medicine joining us from new 7 in switzerland thank you. But china says there are no remaining coronavirus patients in hospitals in the city of one where the disease is believed to have a originated that late last year china has reported no new deaths from covert 19 for the 11th straight day but questions still remain over the accuracy of the data on saturday the u. K. Removed china from its official coronavirus death toll comparison chart there have been more than 4500 corona virus related deaths in china thats according to china and more than 83000 people infected sarah clarke has more now from hong kong she says what accounts for 3 quarters of chinas the toll and half of all infections. This is the epicenter of the initial corona Virus Outbreak and of course in general we saw this particular city sealed off was in general 23 when live 11000000 people when to lock down for about 3 or so months it was only when the numbers started to drop that they lift that particular lockdown so in january february at the pit of this particular Virus Outbreak were hand we have the likes of thousands of cases being reported on a daily basis of course we had accounts for half the National Total of coronavirus cases in china and 3 quarters of chinas deaths but instead of we had the medical efforts are now being deployed elsewhere weve got the cases on sunday a National Health commissions report of 11 cases and 5 of those have come from a particular region in the north of the country thats an area called province and this particular province borders russia its about 4000 kilometer a border there and as a result this is now the new battleground because of the cases of the surge in infections in that particular region weve got a number of cities that been put in lockdown weve got public transport its been postponed or held for a period of time and this type quarantine restrictions in a number of those cities we also have mandatory testing for all arrivals coming from russia into china certainly china is now looking to deploy medical teams to this particular region as it sees a surge in the number of cases and there is a professor in the school of politics and International Relations at the university of nottingham he says the figures coming out of china cant be trusted and that those trying to ascertain the real situation have been harassed by the authorities. The Chinese Communist party holds. A quote unquote monopoly of truth and that means. The communist party basically by default whatever they say must be true and whatever is reported that kind of counters that official narrative by default must be fought and saw based on this understanding i think its quite clear that we must not trust the carpet 19 statistics coming out of Mainland China we need to be quite careful when we draw like comparisons to other countries its all good to hold for example the british and u. S. Government to account for their lets say a belated response and i think that criticism is being articulated day by day but when it comes to Mainland China. This is the origin of the corona Virus Outbreak and this is of course some things that secretary says one thing is. Perhaps ashamed of sense all of the highest it has been going into all the drives to kind of deflect criticism of this fact and theyre now increasing reports that. Conspired is actually orchestrating a global this Information Campaign courageous chinese citizens are attempting to kind of break through censorship but unfortunately just yesterday we learned that. Some volunteers in china tried to document what really happened in. That theyve been harassed by the authorities and so lets bear in mind Health Professionals who just wanted to share information with other professionals like dr lee were none they couldnt speak their mind and on his deathbed he said china should no longer have censorship and citizen journalists who try to report from the front lines like to ensure sure needs of our they were immediately cart and and gagged. The World Health Organization appears to have reversed its position on whether a recovered coronavirus patient will develop immunity to the illness on saturday the Un Health Agency said that there was no evidence someone would be protected from a 2nd infection it warned the governments against issuing socalled immunity passports to allow people back into the workforce but the w. H. O. Now says its Common Schools concern and clarified its position on twitter this is what they said we expect that most people who are infected with covert 19 will develop an antibody response that will provide some level of protection or we dont yet know is the level of protection or how long its going to last we are working with scientists around the world to better understand the bodys response to covert
