Welcome to the program the battle to contain the coronavirus pandemic is putting pressure on nations as they seek to find a balance between Public Health and saving economies after months of lockdown and chilling the country has begun lifting restrictions in parts of the capital but some medical experts say the government is not following recommendations from the World Health Organization in america to Lucien Newman has more. Free at last from monday to friday residents of 7 affluent neighborhoods are finally free to leave their homes to take their children out and to get exercise and nobody is happier than the elderly after 4 months they are now allowed out for an hour 3 times a week i mean for me this is wonderful why because if i dont then i will forget how to walk forget how to have a conversation. Forget places that i would frequent to go shopping. Footpaths have been marked to encourage social distancing a traffic light and 2 lanes marked so pedestrians will walk on the right side of the street but many ignore them and medical experts say the government is also ignoring the w. H. O. Guidelines for deep confinement that he claims to be following them they arent even following the recommendations of their own Advisory Committee which was created in order to make decisions based on science we see that theyre ignoring science and the need to strengthen the ability to test trace and isolate infections relaxing the confinement measures means that some shops can now open in this area but the problem is that those who work here come from other parts of town that are still under lockdown and where the infection rate is still too high and thats the sort of recipe that could lead to disaster exactly the sort of thing thats happening in neighboring peru. In lima 25 percent of the population is said to have been infected. Has the highest death rate per 1000000 inhabitants in all of the americas with no enforcement of social distancing even funerals pose a threat.

From the moment he went in the doctor said he couldnt believe im very worried about him in year. But at least hes receiving chair unlike in other areas where hospitals can no longer cope. Confinement measures were relaxed too soon to try to save the economy. And just like in chile its a decision that many applaud even though it can have deadly consequences if you take into early. You see in human aljazeera sente out of all that the u. S. Is reporting is high a single day increase in nationwide kovac 1000 deaths since may more than 1200 people lost their lives to the virus on tuesday the death toll is now fast approaching 150000 the state of florida is one of the worst hit in that saw a Record Number of deaths in the last 24 hours mike hanna has more from washington d. C. The rate of infection says continuing to surge as indeed is the death rate but the states governor under center says insisting that things are Getting Better he maintains that there is a lag in terms of the reporting which is resulting in the spike in mortality you said he says that within days the endless mortality rate will begin to drop but this may be optimism according to the figures that we are seeing florida is now the most infected state after california which still lead to the way in which the infection is still running strong as in other western states such as texas and arkansas but remarkably President Trump held a briefing in the course of the day and he contends that there is a downward shift in states like california and arkansas all this is simply not borne out by the figures that we are seeing texas for example has just reported a massive increase in its mortality figures now this may be because they changed the method of reporting however it is still a significant spike in the number of deaths recorded over 24 hour period so the position looking exceedingly bleak continues to look so not only in states like florida but in a number of other states across this country more than half of the states continuing to show increases in the rate of infection. That china has reported its highest number of new coronavirus cases in more than 3 months its recorded 101 new infections most of them are in the Western Region of shing going this is the same area where up to a 1000000 people from the we go Muslim Minority and other groups have been put in internment camps china is where the virus was 1st detected in late december. Well more than half of those living in the slums of indias commercial capital have had coronavirus according to a survey about 40 percent of mumbais population of 20000000 live in shanty towns densely packed houses and an inability to socially distance are the likely Drivers Behind the high rates is also casting doubt of indias official infection count which stands close to one and a half 1000000 cases lets cross over to our correspondent elizabeth purana news in new delhi good news really coming out of india which is perhaps reflective of sort of the conflicting now or to have both central and state governments with medical practitioners and Charity Groups all trying to help those that are infected. Hi so that is good news that is also confirms what independent Health Experts have been saying for a very long time now that the real number of infections and dhea are at least 10 times the reported number and possibly even up to 40 percent and you see that in this in the sewer logical survey thats been done in indias Financial Capital nearly 60 percent of People Living in slums have had one in a virus and its actually at least half of mumbais population who live in slums outside of the slum areas the number is closer to around 16 percent and now the confirmed number of cases for mumbai which has been the worst hit city throughout the outbreak here in india the confirmed cases a 110000 which is just a fraction of the millions of people that the syrian logical survey shows have antibodies and this is in line with the other syria logical survey that was done in the capital city of delhi the results of which came out last week which showed that nearly a quarter of delhis 20000000 population have had coronavirus now the number of confirmed cases in delhi are around 130000 they have been coming down over the past few weeks but on tuesday during these high court asked the local government to explain why its conducting only around hof of the number of the most accurate swab test known as the r. T. P. C. R. Test that its capable of and double the number of and teachin tests which arent as accurate so while the Delhi Government has been boasting for weeks now that it might have passed its peak that the cases are coming down its been asked by the high court to conduct more accurate tests of course the government itself is not just dealing with covert 19 across the country but a devastating monsoon as well and thats really causing a huge problem in stretching the emergency services. Yes so the mom you know flooding during the monsoon season its an annual event but there has been more rainfall this year and while state authorities are trying to contain the spread of the corona virus in the state thats worst affected by the flooding thats our farm where more than 100 people have died and nearly 50000 staying in emergency shelters Disaster Management agency told me that they have doubled the number of shelters this year to try to maintain social justin saying theyre trying to separate children from the elderly and give everyone masks but this is a really big challenge and were also seeing pictures of hospitals in the state of bihar for this which have been completely flooded these are hospitals that are also dealing with coronavirus patients posing really big challenges hygiene concerns and especially in a state like we had which is one of the poorest and is in lockdown to try to stop the spread and already has very National Health care infrastructure so the update thanks elizabeth for all of that our correspondent in india.
