Paul we begin this hour with the increasing number of crude 1000 cases worldwide saturday saw the biggest single day rise since this pandemic began with more than 212000 infections recorded globally the majority of them were in latin america which now has more cases than europe brazil alone has more than 1500000 infections and has already had at least 64000 deaths in israel officials have now reauthorized the use of phone Surveillance Technology that was once deployed to prevent attacks thats often an easing of restrictions there led to a rise in cases where the lifting of lockdown measures in south africa has also caused a surge and announced a record daily number of new infections counting more than 10000 and the australian city of melbourne has imposed a complete lockdown on 3000 residents and Public Housing buildings they now banned from leaving their homes for any reason for at least 5 days Victoria Gate and b. Has. People who live in these tower blocks in a poor area of melbourne are some of the most vulnerable in society many have Underlying Health conditions that makes the street look down they now have to endure a complex logistical task pull the authorities that orders it for 5 days which began on saturday 3000 people are banned from leaving their homes 500 Police Officers are patrolling the tower blocks during each shift to make sure no one breaks the law food and medical supplies are being sent in and Mental Health as well as drug and alcohol addiction support his own hand the State Governments also offering financial help at 1st things 1st there will be no rates charged for those tenants for the next 2 weeks secondly those who are employed and because of the hard luck theyre in cannot go to work i was saved by 1500. 00 hardship i meant for those households where there is now one employment by was saved by 750. 00 hardship the lockdown was ordered after 30 cases of covert 19 were linked to 12 households but the fear is the virus has spread to many more people through lifts and walkways this is not just a matter of 23 to 30 armed people this is a matter of many hundreds who have already been exposed and who may already be incubating while most of australia is opening back up the state of victorias recorded an increasing covert 1000 cases since last week in 12 suburbs people are only allowed to leave their homes to go to work exercise see a doctor or buy food in the 9 tower blocks where people face the severest restrictions doctors say it will take around 5 days to test all 3000 residents the tory gate and be aljazeera well we can now speak to some gyrus and on a ok hes an associate professor of Infectious Diseases at the Australian National university and he joins us now on skype from canberra sun giant i see that victorias chief Health Officer is now warning of genuinely explosive potential especially in these tower blocks when it comes to spread whats driving the concern here. You know santa stole it thank you for having me it was really only a couple of weeks ago that we were quite happy with the situation in australia and then we have seen this in tory a predominantly melbourne where say in the last 10 days weve been averaging over all over 50 cases per day now compared to some parts of the world that seems to be minuscule but compared to what we were having that is a big jump and as you know this this can become an uncontrollable surge if we dont control it now well theres been plenty of discussion about just why this is happening in melbourne rather than elsewhere sydney for instance and i see the State Government decided to use private contractors rather than police as New South Wales did to enforce Hotel Quarantines for travellers and i see reports of also have some fairly agree just breaches how is that contributed to spread here yes we werent quite sure why this happened in mellon now we always thought it was if it were to happen it would happen if one of the more popular cities in australia such as melbourne or sydney and the cold weather biked make it more advantageous for the virus but it has since come to light that they have a piece of breaches in the Hotel Quarantine setting which may have contributed to these outbreaks in the community but better would still be looked into now so we dont know all the details but there certainly have been some goings on which have not been ideal and there was also that outbreak i recall as an avatar and experts are saying that secondary cases from that pastor have potentially been festering undetected and spreading through the Community Just how far is testing and Contact Tracing at the moment in victoria. So are the testing in context tracey in australia as a whole has been very good looking at a response or as a nation melbourne or victoria has continued to have low numbers of cases which are local transmission so presumably there have been some mixture of symptomatic and asymptomatic cases around and we dont quite know how much these asymptomatic cases contribute to the coat total caseload but they could be about 30 percent so they are likely to be contributing to these little surges from say that there has also been criticism of the way that the government has been handling things particularly when it comes to communicating in a city where i think its Something Like 35 percent of households speak a language other than english how is that being addressed yes so it is being addressed it is come up as an issue publicly in the last couple of weeks and the government is going out to those communities and trying to increase the message to them because yes it is very important it doesnt matter what language you speak what it listen to you are you can still transmit covert to one person as efficiently as another so its so important that that gets done can you put all of this especially whats happening in melbourne now into the context of the situation countrywide should other cities be bracing for a similar spike to what were seeing in melbourne and how might that affect the new swing of restrictions thats ongoing now. I would say at the moment most states and territories in australia. Experiencing any cases of local transmission city is said to be saying some activity but largely outside of that now were not having much local transmission at all so of course we are very conscious of cases be exported from victoria to other parts of the country so who will be on the watch out for that but we always knew that if we saw as we started to lift restrictions and that there was a chance that we will see a surge of cases so its something weve been preparing for but its something we have to protect our quickly. Then associate professor Infectious Diseases at a. N. U. Great to get your insights here on out of there are setbacks for joining us thank you. Lets now move to western us and where our correspondent gary for that is live for us as israel is ordering thousands of people into quarantine restrictions are clearly being tightened very rapidly that whats driving the urgency of this. Julie the number of cases over the last few days cases of peaks up to around a 1000 a day thats higher than they were at the height of the situation a few months ago and so the Israeli Government is moving to try to reduce the spread well not going back yet into a full lockdown mode because that calm that cognizant of the Economic Impact of going into lockdown all over again weve heard from Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu this morning at the beginning of his weekly Cabinet Meeting saying that theyre at the height of a new current offensive has a very strong outbreak growing and spreading in the world and here and hes called this a state of emergency and there are a similar situation being reported in ne occupied west bank as well cases of about 100 sorry that 500 plus new cases just over the last day and just over the last 2 weeks where nearly. The totals of the entirety of the coronavirus pandemic i mean occurred in the last 2 weeks a lot of those cases in a significant cuts but in the south in the west bank in a brand there the leadership is blaming the behavior of people too many people gathering at weddings and the likes not enough observance of social distancing rules similarly and as well as a community saying the same saying that people havent been using common sense measures to maintain social distancing and that theyre being too many people gathering in certain venues however there are also people who are accusing the leadership and not really clinically does not really having done enough and showing enough need a ship when you consider just a few weeks ago netanyahu themselves came out with a video looking very a bubbly and telling people to go out have fun drink beer well theyve been doing that in spades and we have the results and i ask the pos of the reimposition that were seeing here of restrictions on tape this cell phone tracking of coronavirus carry as much had been previously halted whats the reaction to that. Yes there are certain human rights organizations which are once again extremely upset about the prospect of the internal Security Service the shin bet using the kind of tactics that it is used in a to on palestinians in israel the idea being that its phone records traced people whove been in contact with those whove been found to be an active case sold to quarantine and this is happened in according to the haaretz newspaper some 30000 cases just since this restarted on thursday and the ministry of health phone line has been swamped with people trying to appeal these Text Messages that theyve been getting without any real explanation as to who or how they come into contact with with the coronavirus and those girls are just being going on oncet as well as this there are other restrictions that have been imposed or about to be imposed a maximum of 50 people at places of worship in boston and that event holes there are discussions about what to do with the restaurants as well so i think we can expect that the restrictions will be imposed pretty soon how awful is that there for us with all the latest from estrace and thank you very much tony.
