I mean weddings are the sports news not for the return of formula one racing now the return of a 2 time World Champion spanish driver Fernando Alonso has been lined up to drive from grand isle next season but same with whom he won his title. Well after dismissing the severity and risks of coronavirus for months president president has now announced hes tested positive for that job also not it was taken to a Military Hospital on monday after coming down with a fever also now that has been widely criticized for refusing to wear a mask in public. Ignoring the social distancing rules global view a kid myself. Everybody knew that sooner or later a significant part of the population would get it it happened im an example myself if i hadnt taken the test i wouldnt have known the result and it turned out positive i just got a positive result yes its positive so it all began on sunday when i started feeling slightly ill and it worsened on monday i felt tired with muscle pain and had a fever that reached 38 degrees. While in april both senators said that even if they got the virus he wouldnt have to worry because he wouldnt feel anything and it would be just like a little flu but in may he was heavily criticized when he was spotted riding a jet ski at the same time the brazil became the worst hit country in latin america with over 10000 deaths also not who has continued to ignore rules ended curbing the outbreak in june he attended a number of events with his supporters shaking their hands without a mask on but at the end of june a federal judge ordered the president to wear a mask in brasilia or face a day in the fine ok lets go to Haasan Massud now in sao paulo just talk us through the last couple of days leading up to this event. Yes presently it was not all at the. Events and activities through tweak. More and more then and one activity a while he was very near. People and supporters. Arrived to his activities in brasilia. In oh so he made a fast trip also to the south of brazil and he was near people he was wielding the mask most of the time but he took a lot of photos with with supporters even yesterday after he announced that he made the. 1000. 00 test and he failed the symptoms also he accepted to take. Photos with the supporters. Beside the potus the floor of the potus before he entered the palace and before having that is old but also today when he announced. The positive. Press conference he also started back and he took off. The mask the facial mask and he said that everybody can see my face and. Good situation and he said that he will win this battle with the virus and he will continue his life he will continue also governing brazil from his residence he will use Video Conference at the same time he confirmed that he is taking a queen as a treatment and he started from yesterday taking this treatment at the same time he one more time. Who are in the risk category in brazil to stay at home and to take the. Take more kids say oh the other people can return to work and then he said that brazil must return to work even after his infection thats how some lawsuit giving us that update on the state of polls and all of the president of brazil whos just been diagnosed with covert 19 was on thank you very much indeed ok lets bring in our lucky medicaid editor at the c. In human whos joining us live now from santiago this is just another indication isnt it that there are very different approaches being taken across latin america to deal with the coronavirus pandemic and talk us through roughly what the picture is across the country at the moment. Hello rob around latin america there have been different approaches but by far that have giant bull so natural has been the most if you like far out i mean he has not only dismissed social distancing and the need to wear face masks as all of us have to do here in chile but he has worn them just this weekend in fact he signed a decree making it. About making it to not compulsory for people to wear face masks in closed areas defying governors mayors politicians even from his own party as we all know he even had 2 Health Ministers within the period of one month whom he did not agree with so for him there is so much riding on this issue not just in terms of his health but politically if he can come through this fairly unscathed he will say that he was right all along and other latin american leaders who have followed the little bit his example by trying to ease confinement measures in peru in in many many many countries theyve opened them up theyve closed them again like here in chile but most governments are being far more cautious even mexico for example whos president had 1st also understated the importance of covert 19 but now who is also taking it much more seriously as the can as the infection and deaths rise and rise more and more remember brazil has 65000000 deaths this week sorry 1600000 infections and 65000 deaths which is a huge amount so if by natural ends up being a like his british counterpart ends up becoming very very ill he will have to eat his words and what many people had said in the past that he had made a pact with the devil this was sort of the ongoing joke because of the amount of times that he had been in close proximity to corona virus or. Well infected by it well also perhaps believe that that wasnt true after all one thing of course that we cant forget this is the fact that there are Health Services across latin america who are trying to deal with this is there any sense that any of them have had any sort of response to try to regroup im gathering or is it just the same pressure that theyre facing day after day health the Different Countries have done better than others argentina for example imposed a lockdown very very early on and this had relatively little infections and deaths compared for the size of the country but its come at a very very steep cost economically the same is true in it was true in peru they ordered a lot down but it didnt work people had to keep coming out and going out to work because there werent enough subsidies from the government to keep them at home a country where 70 percent of people live from the Informal Sector of selling things on the street in many cases so it just hasnt worked and the government has thrown in the towel in mexico weve also seen that all sorts of different measures have not been working and that the Health System is coming under increasing stress countries like panama while here in chile its beginning to subside slightly but it was almost exploding and then its been a huge amount of deaths and infections so nobody really has that magic bullet nobody knows what the trick is too much credit too much locked down to little down not soon enough the recipe hasnt been written yet but the whole world is still dealing with that and latin america is one of those right now as you know the region thats been hardest hit as our lot in america added to the list you newman bring us up to date on the situation there you see it thank you very much indeed. Well the World Health Organization says it cant rule out the possibility over airborne transmission of the virus is specially in crowded and poorly ventilated settings have been engaged with this group since april when they 1st wrote to us on april 1st and weve had an active engagement with them and with many of the signatories on this through 2 different works and as we have said previously we welcome the interaction from scientists all over the world from many different disciplines many of the signatories are engineers which is a wonderful area of expertise which which adds to the growing knowledge about the importance of ventilation which we feel also is very important we have been talking about the possibility of airborne transmission aerosol transmission as one of the modes of transmission of 19 as well as droplet weve looked at phone lines we look at fecal oral we look at mother to child we look at animal to human of course as well and so we are producing a scientific brief on summarizing where we are weve been working on this for several weeks now and weve engaged with a large number of groups epidemiologists and clinicians i. P. C. Specialists engineers mathematical model years to try to consolidate the growing knowledge around around transmission well dr David Freeman is professor of medicine and epidemiology at the university of alabama at birmingham and hes joining us from birmingham alabama via skype thank you very much indeed for giving us your time sir if it is looking as though this corona virus is airborne what significance does that have in terms of how people should be dealing with it but of course also the search for a vaccine. You have to start thanks for having me the i think the airborne is not quite clear the extent and i think thats important i think that the large droplet transmission within 2 meters is still the most important road of transmission and whats being talked about now is the possibility of airborne transmission in some circumstances especially having to do with ventilation systems and we know that there were transmission happens in the hospitals due to the types of the equipment that they have there but really the implication is in terms of the type of person or protective attire and devices that would be needed to work combat or in other words the end 95 respirators are indicated and most are very expensive and hard to come by right now masks that are in use in hospitals caring for coated patients and we dont even have enough of those in hospitals right now and if everybody in that were all had to wear one of the 95 masks to wipe it out it would have severe of locations because we just dont have enough you know masks even for the doctors right now of that type and this might be an extreme example but i think it is a pertinent question that up until now most of the of the world seems to be of the impression that if they do social distancing if they wear the mosques then that will give them a degree of protection it strikes me from what youre saying if it is if airborne transmission is an issue and we are talking about it being transmitted through ventilation systems is there a possibility that even if somebody is self quarantining at home without a mosque and somebody next door or someone in the building has covert there is a possibility and i dont want to be alarmist about this but there is a possibility that the covert could come through the ventilation system and they might get to anyway. There is that possibility as i said theres really no evidence for it although its not been investigated to a great to a great extent and its how long those droplets are in the air what really hasnt been shown is that these very tiny airborne micro droplets thats called the micro droplets. To carry infectious virus and how many of them really what proportion. When there are a mix created by humans back to a person you know travel very far and whether theres some sections virus in the these engineers that have been in the news the past couple of days have really done a lot of very nice Experimental Work in the world to reach where they used machines and not people to create these droplets and i think thats the missing link right now we need more human experiments. Really interesting to get your thoughts on this thank you very much indeed for joining us on aljazeera ok thank you more on the coronavirus pandemic and a 5000000 australians who live in the countrys 2nd largest city of melbourne are going back into lockdown after resurgency in corona virus infections that have tonia State Government says the tough measures are the only way to keep the outbreak from spiraling out of control nicola gage reports from the capital canberra. After 2 days of record high infections lockdown is returning to melbourne from midnight on wednesday everyone will have to stay at home except for essential reasons including some workers involved jobs to buy food and medical items and to exercise restaurants will close on the takeaways will be allowed there is simply no alternative other than thousands and thousands of cases. And potentially. Many many people in hospital and the inevitable tragedy that come from that 191 people tested positive for corona virus in victoria on monday the outcome hoped for after strict social distancing measures were already in forced in some suburbs to try and control the spread of the virus the high numbers leading to the closure of the border with the neighboring state of New South Wales a logistical nightmare with the Defense Force and Police Brought in to ensure no one crosses this is something entirely different this is going to affect the travel of my stuff because i have stopped. Living and working on both sides of the border the most concerning part for authorities is that very few of the new coronavirus cases have been linked to other known infections making it near impossible to monitor and leaving premier Daniel Andrews with what he says was no choice but to bring back the tough measures even stricter measures are being enforced on 3000 residents in nonpublic housing towers in no been many from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds that our neighbor a is one of them she says they feel excluded and thinks the Huge Police Presence below is unnecessary and must be quiet and i think its time for her in the past state had some difficulties with the police and racial. d and its like its being ultra left for some of the young people are safe because. The same in their perspective the police and police them until now australia has been successful in suppressing covert 19 infections but returning to lockdown is a major setback as a stray lions attempt to recover from the impending recession and rising unemployment become a gauge aljazeera cambrai israels Public Health chief has resigned as the nation battles a recent surge in corona virus infections in a Facebook Post a single set ski warned that initial successes in handling the outbreak are now a move towards dangerous place said its added that the pandemic was 1st met with Ethical Leadership but no lacks of thought o. T. Israel has more than 31000. 00 cases and over 330. 00 fatalities. Iran has announced its highest single day death toll since the start of the covert 1000 outbreak began there in february the Health Minister reported more than 200 deaths on tuesday just last week the country began re imposing restrictions after a surge in new cases said reports from tehran. Iranians had thought they were past the peak of the virus but the new total of 200. 00 dead within 24 hours has prompted the Health Ministry to issue a new warning. Unfortunately many people didnt listen to me they didnt take demands of mine and my colleagues seriously we are facing a new wave now its been 4 months since the virus hit and its been responsible for the deaths of nearly 12000 people so far the governments blaming the resurgence on guidelines being broken. I ask people to take masks and coronavirus seriously masks and social distancing can prevent the disease by 80 percent now that we are paying such a huge price people have to take my advice seriously how the time my colleagues and i were insisting people Pay Attention many people didnt believe us. Hospital admissions are also including into iran irans most populated city and Financial Center some patients have been receiving oxygen in a hospital carpark the wards inside apparently full to capacity the government has made face masks mandatory although theres no penalty for not wearing one and some provinces have reinstated lockdown measures but the blame at least from the Health Ministry is on the failure to observe guidelines on social distancing and Mass Gatherings this year but im in the hospital for about 2 weeks i didnt abide by chrono really rules we went to a wedding and 12 members of our family contract at corona we didnt socially distance there were many people in the Party Together for gods sake keep socially distancing wear masks and observe your personal hygiene. Since i voted in february i didnt leave home because i suffer from asthma for 30 years i have had asthma i didnt go out of my family did they didnt of their protocol and yet i got infected. I had a c. T. Scan and he said it was coronavirus you have to be hospitalized and begging people to not go out. The government is also under scrutiny for easy to lock down early despite warnings from the Health Ministry. With the economy struggling the Government Faces tough decisions reposed lockdowns try to stop the spread of the virus and excess deaths i hope that people who take unemployed by the rules something that hasnt worked so far. 20 more ahead in the news hour including torrential rain hampers relief and rescue efforts in southwest japan where floods have killed at least 50 people.
