And her 8 year old daughter it was announced today off to her father in law indian actor amitabh chan and her husband were admitted to hospital. Well our correspondent Elizabeth Cohen is live for us in the capital new delhi lets start with custom a theyre bracing for even tighter restrictions talk us through what they can expect. Yes so has announced indeed administered capital rather 3 and a good is going into parts of it going into a lockdown because the administration said because of the rise of the number of cases and so they saying that 88. 00 socalled red zones will be put under lockdown and theyre barricades and barricades being put up in large parts of the city now the administration this said that this is because of the number of cases they said they had nearly 600 cases at the end of june and that number has needed. Since then because people wearing mosques theyre not socially distancing and so theyre going to continue with this Awareness Campaign now 7 local journalists who ive spoken to say that it very much feels like a complete lockdown despite the government saying that its not the general lockdown that it feels that way because these red zones a so scatted that its very difficult to move between them and also that they have barricades pushed up around them now the government also very interesting the announce that as well as pushing large parts of into lockdown that theyre going to open up tourism to the rest of india from tuesday this is despite also saying that the majority of cases have been from outside the region and so because of the very strict restrictions that have been in place and long before coronavirus its or tommy was revoked and all this this is a region thats already been under many restrictions and there was a lack of trust in people to really questioning why a lot down is necessary when it really has relatively very few cases and also why open up. Tourism if not done is necessary why in white tourists to the region while keeping the residents under restriction and liz i know that the National Government has been trying to scale up testing around the country but how else are they reacting to the surge that were seeing right now. Its been really interesting because weve seen the management of the outbreak move from the National Mood from the Central Government at the beginning of the outbreak in march you know late march when they imposed a lockdown its very much being managed at the state level now by state governments and thats the case this keep rising more and more states are deciding to impose lockdowns in the worst affected areas depending on the numbers the political will whether they can afford to financially we have the cities major cities all full name. Invent a new do to combine population of 20000000 people they have both going into lockdown from today for 10 days with only essential Services Allowed weve been seeing pictures of people stocking up on vegetables that markets in from it before they lock down begins at 10 oclock tonight they join other areas around the country that have been on the poor many areas affected areas of west bend goal and in the north east which are under lockdown has Just Announced its extending it for another week now despite this again as i mentioned we dont hear much from the Central Government and we did hear from the interior minister on the weekend and he was very positive they are generally positive they said that he said that the whole world is witnessing how one of the most successful battles against covert 19 has been fought in india what it was that governments decision to impose this lockdown on the nationwide lockdown and late model which was one of the strictest in the world which did delay the rise in the number of cases the peak which we have seeing now and which state governments are trying to manage and as a india correspondent live from new delhi thank you.

D. C. Is youre going to get the demick satisfied. None of that is true and wearing a mask is not a medical procedure still it has become a political statement for many in the u. S. The entire reason for the shutdown was so hospitals like the one behind me do not become overwhelmed when the states that are seeing the biggest increases like florida arizona texas the hospitals are close to capacity and given what we know about how this virus spreads it is likely that that is going to continue stretching the hospitals beyond capacity.
