Im going out as welcome to the program more than 5000000 people on our known to be infected with the coronavirus new infections are easing in europe and the u. S. But experts say a 2nd wave is inevitable in latin america new cases in brazil which reported the continents 1st case back in february is seeing the most new cases on wednesday alone the country recalled almost 20000 new infections if the trend continues its likely that brazil could soon. The 2nd highest number of cases in the world. Im now joined by a Christian Lynn my from the World Health Organization in Geneva Christian the w. H. O. Says 106000 new cases have been reported in the last 24 hours the most in a single day since the outbreak began as lockdown was pictures i eased in many places but still far from out of the wood zoe. Indeed we are going to take to you. If we look at the Global Trends we do not see a decrease we actually see a small incline so that shows us that 6 seche as you just mentioned the going down of segas in Central Europe and also in some other parts of the world is not the complete picture its not that if we chart also like turning off the faucet and then suddenly just no more drops of cases anymore the cases continue and actually we will see more cases and many other countries who have been only starting to be hit by the virus now and who may have a weak the Health System especially the cases in brazil also show us that it is important to have also side the approach to social sites and the coronavirus to fighting the great because this way you need to include instead of polarizing you need to include everything from the Health System people to the economy only then can you win this fight for so you just mentioned brazil the situation there seems to be worsening significantly where else do you expect such a escalations. Once fortunately we out 1st of all to see that countries little middle and come country is also enough acuff may certainly be a problematic case and so also the rest of latin america. Because these countries only start to see cases now and remember were talking about a window d of opportunity for about 2 months that we can prepare these countries and these countries can prepare themselves to help them to equip so get the tests ready to get the hospitals ready to get everything ready what they need. A lot has been done 130. 00 times these have been seized the city receives assistance from the world thats in the section but they will still seem to be receiving cases and of course another reason for increasing cases will be that countries as they start using the lock down people will start mixing again will go on holiday as well and starts up being in contact again and so on so we should expect a rise in cases again. The european the European Unions virus response chief says europe pass a prepared for a 2nd wave when does the w a g o expect that in europe. I think dont think we can call it on one of the wave will be should not look from one way its what this wave means its uptake on the us another rise on the relapse in cases that we havent seen in flux and tases off the baby increases have gone down. With all the easing off of measures now and. Communicating and says it could increase its as a context of people again we will see a rise in cases and you know this is the 2nd wave everybody is talking about they may not all be at the same time its maybe their sons from country to country or from region to region but a rise a secondary officer there advising tases is very likely concern and my w.

Now and schmidts is one of the coauthors of that report and joins us now from the greek city of tesler nicky florian what have you been hearing from the migrants who say theyve been beaten by greek police. Hello together with our partners like no yelling cats and it touched us how we were able to locate migrants in turkey who basically told us that they were arrested by creek police under false pretenses saying they would be issued no papers and they were taken in almost all of them say that the police confiscated their phones and other personal belongings some told us it was violence involved and then they say that they were brought in and then to the everest river between turkey and greece where they were put on dinghies and pushed back to the turkish site.

The question is much rather how does corona affect the situation within the country the border between between greece and turkey is officially closed all official dipper taishan procedures are on hold at the same time the coronal look down and the strict measures imposed by the state of greece made it a lot easier for the police to extend into the mainland interest migrants in refugee camps and in the cities so according to the people we talked to the corona looked on initiated a new strategy of push back from greece to turkey for instance one of the authors of this research thank you and you can find the full report on our website thats of course w dot com.
