Well the government has taken a strong most drastic measures yet when it comes to social distancing only 2 people can gather at any point also restrooms and each weezer not allowed to serve in the evening people are allowed to dine in and Everyone Needs to mosques where the mosque whether theyre in a public place indoors or even outdoors so theyll be fine but perhaps one of the biggest efforts weve seen has been this weekend with the opening of a makeshift hospital providing 500. 00 beds for those with mild symptoms at the airport to the expo site to choose to be used for exhibitions and showcases bitch now of course is no longer or has been empty for quite a while and in addition to that for extra help mainland professionals as you mentioned are coming to hong kong to help with that makeshift hospital in fact 7 of them have already arrived theyre going to be part of a 60 strong team to help with the makeshift hospital and help with testing and along with that another 6 are due to arrive from han and if you recall that was the where the virus 1st surfaced to china was once the epicenter well those experts are going to be coming to hong kong to build a facility from ground up to compliment that makeshift hospital and build an entirely new what theyre calling cab in hospital. Do you how do hong kong was feel about this time is help coming from the mainland i mean it is a very sensitive time with the new National Security law. Thats right well kim you know with anything that has to do with the mainland opinion is always divided and as it is in this case also there are many comments and concerns about these mainland officials or experts coming into hong kong without any consultation it didnt go through the Legislative Council process the general public werent asked whether they want this extra help and so if you look at social media and comments from opposition particularly opposition activists they say that this is yet another instance of beijing exerting its influence over hong kong interfering in hong kongs affairs theyre questioning why Hong Kong Government couldnt handle the situation themselves when they have managed to handle previous outbreaks there also there also have been small pockets of protests with some people worried that this mass testing in which these beijing professionals are mainland professionals are going to help out their d. N. A. Is going to be used in a National Database for beijing surveillance so there is a lot of concern some founded a lot on founded but you know underlying all of this is the fact that hong kongs hospitals are overwhelmed that theyre nearly at capacity Testing Centers are overwhelmed so Health Professionals are welcoming their arrival and there are also those in hong kong that. That actually appreciate the extra help in fact we were at that expo center earlier that makeshift hospital and there were a handful of People Holding flags up chanting slogans and welcoming slogans waiting for their arrival of those mainland professionals think that.

As i mentioned south africa is also seeing a rise in covered 1000 cases hospitals there are struggling to cope with the influx of patients Samina Miller explains from johannesburg. For many in south africa it is quite frightening given that the country has been under some level of lockdown for more than 4 months now while some of the restrictions have eased. Things really arent havent returned to normal at all and its quite concerning to see that number rise now the government also released a statement the president says specifically not long after the announcement of half a 1000000 cases saying that things are bad but not that bad it says that the lockdown has helped to delay the increase in cases of the last few months giving the government time to prepare Public Health facilities and its relied on these Public Health facilities to help people in this country who have been infected by the virus but theres also been concern that in provinces like the eastern cape specifically the presidency has also acknowledged that that province its Health Facilities Public Hospitals have been overwhelmed.

We need to be careful that many individual cases in germany dont become a slowly progressing 2nd wave the main reason is that under reasonable behavior carelessness and in some cases a conscious decision to ignore hygiene protocols are unfortunately on the rise. Opinion polls suggest many germans support that view 87 percent think its right to wear masks in public 73 percent agree a mouth the nose covering is helpful but not these crowds in berlin for them what matters is their personal freedom to not wear a mask if they dont want to and to resist the very social distancing the vast majority of their fellow citizens except dominic came out berlin.
