Hello this is Art International live from moscow welcome to the program is just turn midday here now this saturday im kevin 0 in with this 30 minute world news round up 1st of all lets start with the latest figures on the covert 19 pandemic the number of cases around the world is still on the rise with almost 1700000 people now infected another grim milestone has been reached to more than 100000 have succumbed to the corona virus but its also known that at least 377000. 00 people have recovered. So latest developments this weekend here the mayor of moscow circus who ben has announced that says he will gradually roll out a system designed to tighten control of a Peoples Movement is said to come into force on monday the russian capital now has over 13000 registered cases and over 100 have died this queue of ambulances was seen waiting to transfer patients to a hospital in moscow thats had to be repurposed to focus on coronavirus patients the number of admissions has doubled since last week and more than 85 percent of the patients there have once described as pneumonia the Authorities Say the pay has still to come on the ramping up restrictions in the capital side of it them from Jacqueline Bouvier 1st. Late on friday evening it was announced that there is going to be a new system of tasks is to be used in the russian capital and that was announced on the moscow mayors web site where he said that it was a question of the health and the safety of all the People Living in moscow because the situation has only gotten worse recently that he was really left with no choice but to implement this but in those but they didnt aggressive towards a virtual since the beginning of this week the situation with the coronavirus has been worsening previously hospitals has been receiving 500 patients daily now the number has surpassed 1000 a past regime inside the city is an inevitable restriction which will be implemented gradually started from. Now over the past few days there really has been a sharp increase in new cases in the russian capital almost every day has seen about 1500 cases and just on friday there was almost 2000 along with 18 deaths as well now another announcement that we heard was that for the next week there will be further restrictions on businesses in moscow and all but the most essential ones will be shut for the week and that could possibly be extended. Menadue more most of moscows organizations and enterprises will temporarily stop working for a week with the possibility to prolong it only essential enterprises will keep operating. Its just those people who work at those essential businesses who will be the 1st ones affected by it and seeing how this past system works because the 1st stage thats being rolled out will be passes given to people and order for them to get to their places of business the 2nd round whenever that is released will be for other trips around the city and the 3rd if necessary will actually be passes for people to leave their houses at all in order to move around their neighborhood to go to the local store or their pharmacy or anything like that and of course thats something weve seen and a number of European Countries but it does seem like the moscow thirtys do want to avoid that situation but are prepared to do it if necessary and the governor of the wider Moscow Region has put out a warning to that effect.
