Thank you that come ahead of a live from some of the World Health Organization says south america has become a new at the center of the coronavirus pandemic following infections and deaths brazil is by far the worst hit with more than 20000 fatalities and more than 300000 recorded cases but with testing happening at such a low level those numbers could really be much higher. South america has become a new epicenter for the disease weve seen many shows american countries with. Increasing numbers of cases. And clearly theres a concern across many of those school trips but certainly the most affected is that at this point in time homan is live for us and mexico city john so let america is the new epi center so says the World Health Organization with brazil really at the heart of this yeah thats completely right here in mexico as well weve been having our own situation here the government said that the peak of the pandemic was going to pass from the 2nd week of may and the numbers are still going up so all across latin america were seeing that the numbers are going up and that this isnt something thats under control yet as it is in other parts of the world but as you mentioned brazils really at the heart of it and at the heart of the controversy in brazil is the countrys president joe abel sonando because this is a president really who said unless youre unless youre suffering from chronic illnesses or unless youre old you should be out you should be working and its really said that the economy should be the principal objective here state governors in that country is specially those of the countrys major cities like real degenerate oh and south polar who disagree with that said that their their Hospital Services are stretched to breaking point and they want to keep people off the street and theres various different municipalities amazin the country saying the same so the countrys authorities sort of at loggerheads with each other and joe abramson out of being the figurehead that perhaps a lot of people in brazil would want to follow right now ok so thats the situation in brazil you also talked a little bit there about mexico one of the other really badly affected nations in the region. Well its a lot of eyes turning to peru at the moment and thats because in the last couple of weeks the coronavirus cases there have really showed up so its a surprise many people big because peru was one of the countries that was sort of looted in latin america at the start of this they had quite a swift look down there it was quite aggressively pursued but a lot of people are saying that people in the country havent really listened to those warnings havent listened to the government and thats why the crisis has gone up in that country will see ecuador as well kill city we just seen some images throughout really this period in terms of bodies being left in houses the not enough space in the mood to be able to pick them up refrigerated containers being brought out by the government try and deal with that and then you go to the other side of the scale which is the country of course study that weve also reported on this month and thats a country which is had real success in keeping the coronavirus cases to a minimum its done a lot of testing and thats meant that this week their Football League has opened up again its the only one in latin america thats opened up again during this time so theres a different power on the from Different Countries but definitely the eyes of the world and the World Health Organization on latin america at the moment as this sort of Coronavirus Crisis swings round to think that John Holliman their cause developments from mexico city. All travelers entering the u. K. Will simply required to quarantine themselves for 2 weeks it will apply to everyone with just a handful of exceptions and people will have to provide an address and Contact Details of the government cant check on them the u. K. Death toll has passed 36000 but other figures suggest it may be more than 40000. Now we are past the peak of this virus we must take steps to guard against imported cases triggering a resurgence of this deadly disease and as the transmission rate across the United Kingdom falls and the number of travelers arriving in the u. K. Begins to increase imported cases could begin to pose a larger and increased threat this is because they could become a higher proportion of the overall number of infections in the u. K. And therefore increase the spread of the disease lets get more now from sunny gago who is in london for us on your whats the governments calculation or on the timing of coron taining for new arrivals. Well kim in effect the government is trying to preempt another wave with what it sees as being the next threat which is contact from people from other people from other countries it is trying as its saying to try and stabilize its own infection rate in the country as well which is very across different regions of the country but with this preemptive strike as it were its also factoring in according to them you know the idea that you know the Summer Holidays are starting people are getting increasingly fatigued with lock down and also taking into consideration that there are different. Variations of infections from Different Countries and with that in mind they put down june the 8th as the date with which they will start to put those restrictions into place as well where visitors will have to sign an inform they can be turned away if they were thora t. Is deemed that necessary as well and there will be spot checks carried out at the addresses provided by visitors who are not u. K. Citizens or residents indeed now with that in mind there are course exemptions for this there are exemptions for medical star for freight and of course for those other essential workers agricultural laborers who are desperately in need of trying with which the u. K. Is desperately needing to try and work on the farms where produce is needing to be collected and harvested now if the people who are in those addresses are caught be flouting any of those rules they could be given on the spot fines of up to 1200. 00 now that is just to ensure that there is some kind of compliance and also the government is still working on an app which visitors when its rolled out nationally will be encouraged to download so they can try. Are can trace which is an elemental part of trying to keep the transmission rate low now of course there are critics of this who are saying well this is in effect locking the gate after the horse has bolted that this is far too little too late and that the government of Boris Johnson has been far too slow to act upon this and even the World Health Organization is stated that quarantine restrictions like this should really be conducted at the start of an outbreak in order for it to be of fully possible to conduct and ensure that visitors can come safely as well certainly there are also opposition opposing voices within the government as well saying that the opposite thing that in effect that quarantine should be the last thing that would be put into place because of course that is going to damage an already hard hit economy as well have been plenty of voices including from the travel sect to say that this is going to be an absolute disaster for the sector as well and in fact that what britain needs to do right now is to actually extend and ensure that there will be some kind of liberty for visitors to be able to come to the u. K. In order for a business to be able to take place and also for visitors to be able to conduct those deals that they need to do their fairing that this Health Crisis in effect is turning into a really hard hit economic crisis kim thank you thats on the get go there live from london. The United Nations says yemens Health System has essentially collapsed the war torn country has reported about 200 infections and 30 deaths but aid agencies say the real number will probably never be known kathy lopez hadia reports. For many life in yemen was already difficult before the coronavirus now the pandemic is making things even worse over the last 2 months more than 20000 families have tried to camps like lisa in the maariv governorate their homes are now makeshift tents health care here is limited social distancing impossible the u. N. Says yemens Health Care System has essentially collapsed we hear from many of them that yemen is really on the brink right now the situation is extremely alarming they are talking about that the Health System has in effect collapsed they are talking about having to train people away because they do not have an oxygen it will have a lot of the protective equipment doctors are getting ready for a rise in the number of patients they have little to offer them yemen is particularly vulnerable to the strain of the virus poverty and water shortages have left the war torn country highly susceptible to disease and money is running out we are heading towards a fiscal cliff if we do not get the money coming in the programs that are keeping people alive very much essential to fight back and gets cold it will have to close and then the wall could have to witness what happened in a country without a functional Health System to cope with 98. 00 agencies say infections are likely underreported because of scars testing limited resources and government secrecy and calls to stop the fighting amid the pandemic have been ignored leaving even more people at risk what forced out of their homes by armed men conflict violence. This is a dominant that picked on International Diplomacy on the room why lins of the armed groups but also of the Security Council which has not in any way shape talked it the secretary general has called for a global coronavirus shes fighting 5 years of war between allies of Yemen Government and who the forces have destroyed or close more than half of the countrys Health Facilities people are now left facing a disease that threatens to further cripple their country already devastated by war. Of the young aljazeera. But more still ahead in this news hour on the front line of the virus crisis in mexico the paramedics warn that hospitals are reaching break. And shops shouted the rent on pay 8. 00 pandemic is shaking the Real Estate Industry down to its foundations. The antimalarial drug that u. S. President donald trump says hes taking his links to Heart Failure and even death and patients with covert 19 this is according to a study of hydroxy clark wayne involving nearly 100000 hospitalized people on 6 continents researchers say they had significantly higher risks than patients who didnt take the drug the most common symptoms include an irregular heart the study published in britains logs that medical journal is the largest analysis to date. We heard earlier from the World Health Organization thats also reiterating warnings about the unproven drug. The government of brazil has approved the use of hydroxy chloroquine for broader use we do point to the fact that our current clinical systematic review is carried out by an american Health Organization and the current claim that Clinical Evidence does not support the widespread use of hydroxycut oregon for the treatment with my team so it is the director of the elizabeth r. Griffin program at Georgetown University Medical Center she joins us live from washington d. C. Via skype thank you for your time what was your reaction to the findings of the study that found people who received hydroxy clark when actually had a much higher risk of dying and those who did not. I think it confirmed what many people have been worried about in Public Health and in medicine that we have such hope as a society as a Global Society for a solution to this this terrible pandemic and the urge to find a magical cure a Silver Bullet is very high but from the beginning there have been serious doubts that hydroxy chloroquine would in fact be that magic bullet and this confirms not only is it not effective but it can do real harm and that raises some very serious questions i mean one of those questions for me is how did it even get to the point where medical professionals started using this drug for corona virus. There was some some older data that there might have been efficacy against this kind of virus using hydroxy quite alone and. Sickle are quite in clinical and which are usually used in bulgaria and then some to treat some diseases like lupus in the twitter throat as there was some hope that they might work from all the evidence from the laboratory the 1st study that came out from france a very small study suggested that there was promise but in retrospect that study was very limited it was observational only it didnt compare outcomes of patients who had been treated against controls in a way that would be a good comparison and as we say an apples to apples comparison so that 1st initial hope had to be tested scientifically and this study has has been larger by far than all of the other studies combined and it gives kriti an ambiguous results that treatment with this drug with high proxy clerk when increase the chance of death it didnt help and yet the u. S. President says hes taking it what do you think this focus on hydroxy clark ryan has done what impact has it had in terms of the effort to find actual effective treatments and also what is it meant for people who who actually need the struck. Well in terms of what its meant it its certainly taken resources to conduct these the many Clinical Trials and to to treat the patients and trials in these hospitals all over the world that were assessed in the study so the time the resources and the focus on testing patients with destroyed treating patients with this drug takes away time and resources that might be used for other treatments that might be used for testing other potential therapies beyond that its really news to the available supplies for this drug which while it does have serious risks is needed for people with those are 2 immune diseases to help manage their condi
