A nationwide lockdown. And as new zealand says it eliminated the virus and restrictions eased officials warn against complacency. The World Health Organization has warned that the coronavirus pandemic is far from over and that it could indirectly harm the lives of millions of children who are missing out on vital vaccinations for other Infectious Diseases but says 21 countries are already reporting shortages of some vaccines every year more than 116000000. 00 in funds are vaccinated or 86 per cent of all children born globally but there are still more than 13000000. 00 children around the world who missed out on vaccination. We know that the number will increase because of course weve 19 already polio vaccination campaigns have been put on hold and in some countries routine Immunization Services are being scaled back or shut down. As european nations begin to ease their lock downs the w. H. O. Has repeated its call that they must track and trace or suspected coronavirus cases the warning comes as italy announced a phased reopening of its economy but the u. K. Says its too soon to relax any measures and the hayward takes a look at the situation across europe britains Prime Minister back at work after recovering from coronavirus with a warning that there will be no letup in the lockdown yet i can see the long term consequences of looked done as clearly as anyone and so yes i entirely share your agency its the governments urgency and yet we must also recognise the risk of a 2nd spike more than 21000 people have now died from coronavirus in new k. Hospitals and one of the worlds worst outbreaks the government has announced that the families of National Health workers who died from coronavirus during this crisis will receive a 75000. 00 payout. The number of tests being offered in the u. K. Is being expanded but the government has faced criticism for the slow rollout of mass testing and there are growing prostrations and questions even within Boris Johnsons own party about how soon the economy can reopen italy has set a date to start easing its lockdown the longest in europe factories and Building Sites can reopen next week bars and restaurants cant bully reopen in june while schools will stay shut until september. And many parts of europe are grappling with the impact of this crisis. There is anger in some of princes poorest suburbs the lock down and restrictions on movement in communities where people often living cramped conditions has led to an arrest the police have been accused of being heavy handed in their approach racial slurs were allegedly used to mock a man trying to escape arrest Malcolm States that we. Was going you know all are against you but it seems like france is at war against. You know it is you know so its difficult because people are suffering from there is suffering from. Economy and social impacts there is optimism in some parts of europe but the worst of this crisis may be over but the still no unified approach in how to keep safe Going Forward in most parts of germany people have to wear face masks in shops and on public transport. Elsewhere some families are all seeing one another for the 1st time in weeks albeit through the glass put together all the same m. O. He would aljazeera. Nigerias president says lock downs in cities including lagos and a bridge or will start to be eased next week but all nonessential travel between states is to be banned it will face masks have been made compulsory in lagos the governor of the city says the precaution is needed because the city if the virus is continuing to spread in the community those who fail to comply will be sanctioned lagos is home to more than 20000000 people all 35 people have been killed by cave in 1000 in nigeria with nearly 1300 cases. Of prove faced and agreed to an easy of look down measures of city legace and organs to its effect to from one day forth or be 22. 00 in 3. However this will be followed strictly with aggressive reinforcement of testing and quantity trees measures managers is in a bit just to tell us more about how it will work this particular phase of things in nigeria. Well basically the phrase out of the restrictions will happen in only 3 of nigeria is 36. 00 or 37. 00 states including the administrative capital of georgia remember these 3 states lagos and ogun state where the 1st to be hit by a complete lockdown of the cities because of key economic and administrative importance in that region scheme of things so gradually after the face out of the looked out on the 4th of may the Nigerian Government will also put in place a curfew that runs from 8 pm in the evening local time to 6 oclock in the morning and then like the president said wearing a face mask will be very mandatory on everybody in the public space so one interesting aspect of this speech will address by president obama bloody is the issue of china which has been on the on the burner for a very low temperature all for the last one week this is a state where weve seen hundreds of deaths in this piece of one week unexplained dents call the local authorities saying that these desk mostly are not connected to compete 19 but there are some misgivings about that so the Nigerian Government is sending a team of experts to reinforce local Health Workers there to have been dealing with the situation in kind of state this is a state with a population of more than 15000000 people that comes probably a proud legal 2nd to lagos so the Nigerian Government is worried that if congo is down and its in that washed Case Scenario then you at the center of the. Under nigeria then the whole of Northern Nigeria will be impacted already the pieces of people who travel from the parts of nigeria. People and more people infected so the government is sending additional medical staff there and in forcing a 2 week lockdown in that area as well as we activate the center for Disease Control offices that were shut down due to lack of Testing Facilities lord minister thank you very much indeed new york has become the 1st u. S. State to cancel its democratic president ial primary because of the code 19 pandemic the vote which had already been postponed was meant to take place in june meanwhile Governor Andrew Cuomo is set to extend the current arsenal down in many parts of the state beyond may the 15th but restrictions could be relaxed in some areas if theres sufficient tracing and Hospital Capacity quinn that also released the results of expanded testing which suggests that almost 15 percent of the state carries antibodies to the coronavirus you want to reopen a region what is the Health Care Capacity in that region how many beds will you have available if that number goes up how many i. C. U. Beds will you have available and are you contemplating whats going to happen when the flu season kicks in september. Were we could potentially now be dealing with corporate cases on top of cases you have to test for. And possibly have Hospital Capacity for. Christian salumi has moved from new york governor says he is working on criteria to open up parts of the state possibly after may 15th those shelter at home orders will stay in place at least until then after that he is going to be considering things like Hospital Capacity Testing Capacity tracing of active cases capacity and so on on a county by county basis he says that its likely the 1st sectors of the economy to reopen will be manufacturing and construction but in areas that have not been highly affected by the virus so parts of the state where there are fewer infections fewer fatalities will likely reopen sooner than places like here in new york city where they have seen well over half of the 280000 cases reported statewide so he is talking about a. An opening that will be very cautious and very slow considered on a county by county basis throughout the state but also in coronation with neighboring states because he says if one opens quicker than the other that could send people running over state lines and so on and so forth so its only the very beginning of a plan and it will not start until may 15th but the beginning of a light at the end of the tunnel for people who are wondering how long this can and will continue. More than 500. 00 garment factories in bangladesh have been allowed to reopen it comes after hundreds of workers went back to work on sunday in defiance of a month long shutdown they said they were facing starvation without their wages under their fears it could lose around 6000000000. 00 in export revenue this Financial Year because of the shutdown well Garment Industry is a central part of the bangladeshi economy more than 4000000. 00 people mostly women work in thousands of factories around the country each earn around 100. 00 a month many of them are their families main income provider last year the factories shipped out 35000000000. 00 of apparel to retailers such as h. And m. Czar and indeed techs and walmart labor leaders are warning a return to work could spark an explosion of code 19 cases there almost 6000 confirmed 1000 infections in the country with 152 deaths but a lack of testing means those numbers likely to be much higher the time to chandra has more from dakar on the conditions workers will return to. The Prime Minister has a stimulus package of 588000000. 00 now this was promised some time back many of the work has been protesting for the last several days many havent been paid for months some are on the brink of starvation. To join some of the factories that. Factories are opening all across the country is in a limited way. Because theyre under pressure from International Buyers to fulfill their obligation many buyers on the other hand have cancelled their order resulting in billions of dollars of loss another factor of main concern for the garment workers are their safety and of course their salary as you just mentioned garments owner of a short theyll get paid and its guaranteed by the government and i spoke to one of the activists and leader for the garment workers she said the main concern is safety and of course their salary as well because many of them work in close compartment 3400. 00 workers in each floor they live in a densely populated area sometime in slums if an epidemic spread it is a potential time bomb for the Workers Health experts in the u. K. Are investigating possible links between a red but dangerous condition affecting children and the coronavirus in the last few weeks hospitals in london it reported a rising number of children with stomach pain vomiting diarrhea said some in the into what doctors call a multisystem in family tree state requiring intensive care symptoms include information of the haunt the countrys Health Minister says hes very worried by possible links to the virus off to some of the children tested positive. But comes as a further 360. 00 people died from the virus in british hospitals taking the total number of deaths to more than 21000. 00 but that figure does not include coronavirus deaths that have taken place outside hospitals British Government is facing growing criticism for not acting sooner to contain the outbreak the u. K. Death rate is now set to overtake both spain and italy the u. K. Death per 1000000 is about 311. 00 in comparison germanys is only 72 both countries have just under 160000 confirmed cases of covert 94 factual is the cofounder and director of edge health which uses data to help the u. K. Health care system he joins me live via skype thanks very much indeed for being with us so from what youve seen in the modeling youre doing where is the u. K. In terms of the peak so it looks like the peak in the happened around the 10th of april and what and where does that. Leave us now in terms of the possible changes to restrictions so it looks like the number of people that have been affected is is actually still quite small were certainly probably there are 50 to 60000000 of us who havent had the disease and as we start to think about releasing some of the lockdown restrictions that been very effective or actually reducing the spread of the disease theres still a very real risk of a 2nd wave of coded a 2nd peak. That coming back say is very treacherous time at the moment can you tell us how it works in terms of the modeling how reliable can any model be if you dont know how many people are actually already been infected. So thats really good question the modeling is only as good as the data in the evidence going in and when theres something that has so many unknowns as covert 19 where we are still learning every day and weve never seen the effects of things like the lockdown before and we never modeled pandemics like this or probably never will model them again but what we can say with some certainty is that we know much more about it now and then we did at the beginning of march early april so we have much better ability to model things Going Forward i think it is fair to say so at the moment what figure is more important is its the death rate of the rate of infections so the death rate is the only real metric matters its the only one that we know for sure is accurate across Different Countries and by following other countries death race when theyre releasing some of the locks and measures we we can learn quite a lot about which locks are measures are likely to bring back further wave of cave it definitely following the death rays i think following infection race is really tricky because of the way the testing is being done at the moment because testing is being ramped up is very hard to say whether when we see an increase in the number of infections whether thats because were just testing more or whether there are actually more infections and is the government modeling or the n. H. S. Modeling for the effects of the lockdown at all have you been asked to find out how many people will be extra people be dying from say heart attacks or cancer and so on from all the other effects of the lockdown. So its definitely something that weve been looking at and its certainly i imagine something the government has been looking at what we have seen is that in the early part of april theres been a relatively high increase in the number of noncoding related deaths so these look like they might be from people that are choosing not to go into hospital if theyve had a small stroke what we will start seeing although not as quickly is the effect of canceling some of these these elective operations and diagnoses which will lead to people with cancers that go from being treatable with being untreatable and roop most likely start seeing increase in mortality from that as well just very briefly have you been modeling also that kind of you know you mentioned that the you obviously learn from other countries on whats happening with their as they ease their restrictions have you actually looked at what a particular scenario is for lifting lockdowns and if so whats the most effective way of doing it in terms of reducing mortality as well. So its a very is a very difficult question to answer to be perfectly honest there i think what is is clear is that there are a range of measures. Protective measures and processes that can be put in place so that when lock down is released it will not lead to as quick a spread of the disease if indeed one comes back so things like wearing face masks or perhaps returning to our limited periods of time or allowing Certain Industries to stop before others thank you very much indeed for your expertise thank you thank you. Im not our restrictions in new zealand have been eased for the 1st time in almost 5 weeks it means some businesses take away food outlets and schools can reopen but social distancing measures will remain a country of nearly 5000000 people has more than 1400 cases of coronavirus and 19 deaths from minister just in our dense as the tough measures have helped to limit the outbreak to succeed we must hunt down the last few cases of the virus this is like looking for a needle in a haystack and we need your help to finish the job we have started there is no widespread undertook to Community Transmission in new zealand we have won that battle but we must remain vigilant if we keep it that way that includes safely returning more New Zealanders to work and neighboring more businesses to reopen miller and some of the recreate it to police weve missed in the past 4 weeks when he joins us live from auckland when what will this change mean for New Zealanders. Well the reality is that the move from level 4 to level 3 on the 4 stage alert system of the government introduced in late march is a very little will change for them and what we saw at the end of the end of march was the government introducing this 4 stage system and straight away throwing the country into the highest level level 4 when there were only a handful of confirmed coronavirus cases in this country so that meant for the past 4 weeks or so that new zealand has been under a form of Lockdown People have been told to stay home unless theyre going to the supermarket theyve also been allowed to go outside in the neighborhood only to have some sort of outdoor exercise but all nonessential businesses have been closed now the government feels that the time is right with only as you say just over 1400 confirmed cases and 1000 deaths that they can transition to the next level level 3 and that means that people can go to work the government expects around 400000 people to return to work its really about an economic decision rather than a social one some of the businesses that cannot open though are retail shops unless theyre doing deliveries our response is well they can reopen only if they are doing contactless deliveries or pick up of food so what the governm
