The city will gradually roll out a pos system designed to tighten control over movement from whedons they passes will be compulsory for travel by personal or public transport those passes and be applied for online starting monday. This q. Of im doing says was seen waiting to transfer a patients to a hospital in moscow thats been repurpose to focus on corona virus patients the number of admissions has doubled since last weekend more than 85 percent of the patients have pneumonia the Authorities Say the pick is still to come under ramping up restrictions in that capital taking us through some of the big developments here. 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 and 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 the virtual local since the beginning of this week the situation with the corona virus 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 monday. 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 shot for the week and that could possibly be extended. Ridhima minute do with more most of moscows organizations and enterprises who 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 wholl 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 7 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 up a warning to that effect starting from monday we will actually increase the number of policemen National Guard and Traffic Police who will stop people to ask them why they are outdoors thats why im asking you to stay home and take seriously all the precautions we are facing now to prevent the spread of the virus that increased Police Presence that he was referring to really does seem necessary at this point because i can tell you even looking out my own windows on my balcony i can still see quite a bit of activity people just out with their kids walking and lots of cars still are on the street so its really hard at this point to say that people are following the restrictions that are already in place and that all started back on march the 28th president putin came out and said that he was announcing a week off work where people would still be paid but they would not be going to work and that has actually been extended until the end of april those were for all businesses where it was possible to not actually physically go to work and of course on the 30th of march thats. Moscows mayor put out restrictions saying that people should only leave their houses in the event of a medical emergency if they have no choice but to go to work and to go to their local shops and pharmacies but like i said it really doesnt feel like people are following those restrictions and that is something that the moscow mayor commented on saying that that was one of the reason that this past system is being rolled out so hopefully this is enough at this point for people to really listen and stay inside.

T. To europe a french president speaking Meeting Health professionals to hear firsthand what it is like talking coronavirus in the midst of criticism focused on the governments response while in country in particular has been raising eyebrows a shortage dubinsky explains. As the race is on to find some way to bring coded 19 to its knees it seems the french president isnt leaving any stone unturned emanuel mccool spent a day visiting medical stock although some may have been a little surprised to learn that on his list was professor. Who is the head of the i h e u make a time Infection Institute in moscow say and some of his idea. It is about 19 have raised eyebrows. I am a practitioner and doctor and im shocked to see this survey that says that only 37 percent of doctors in the whole world prescribe hydroxy chloroquine in france the amount of people who prescribe it without saying anything is huge. He claimed following a small study that chloroquine a malaria drug was the cure and should be used immediately even one of stateside in donald trump is a real chance that it could have a tremendous impact it would be a gift from god if that worked those claims caused controversy among the medical community here in france there were criticisms that his trials were change small too fast to be meaningful and concern about potentially dangerous side effects for those with heart problems but it seems that most people in france believe that he has tapped into an effective treatment one poll found that 59 percent of people in france believe that clara queen was the miracle cure rowe has gone even further since then organizing for mass testing of the virus at his clinic defying official policy that was strict such experiments to those symptoms people queued outside his hospital this point being looked down the french government later caved in and a creed that the drug could be prescribed but questions and now being asked if this visit by president back on has only added fuel to the hype over what remains without a full series of Clinical Trials and proven treatment. The message that president macron is sent in is one of support which is due to mental to the Scientific Community professor all certainly has an interest in personality but one doesnt heal but personality. Visit of more than 3 hours was in private but has been splashed across the front page news his advisors say it wasnt an indorsement but rather intended to show that the president is listening to wide swathe of scientific opinion but this visit came before the results of Clinical Trials which are underway do you to be released and some suggest that this is more about macro bowing to popular pressure or perhaps even politicizing the issue i am a bit surprised by the president s visit to professor old because its a little unexpected to endorse this treatment while we are still awaiting a real double blind study with a control group it is starting to become showbiz politics which is not good though general opinion polls have surged in support from macrorie as the pandemic has unfolded it seems amongst the medical Community Medical staff the president is not really popular they raise their voices demanding protective gear and they were not the only ones on the same day call had visited a hospital here in paris there too he was greeted by angry medical stuff.
