Hello, everyone this is afternoon live im simon mccoy. As the outbreak of coronavirus spreads to more and more countries, people returning to the uk from affected parts of italy have been told to stay at home for two weeks even if they dont feel unwell, and all travellers whove visited northern italy should self isolate if they develop flu like symptoms. In cheshire, one school has closed and another has sent some of its children home, after staff and pupils returned from school trips to italy. Hundreds of guests at a hotel on tenerife in the Canary Islands are not being allowed to leave the complex after an italian tourist staying at the hotel tested positive for the virus. The number of cases globally is now more than 80,000 but there have been only 13 in the uk. Jon donnison reports. Its known as the red zone. Almost a dozen towns and 50,000 people, now under police lockdown in northern italy. And today, the British Government stepped up its advice for those returning from the country. Anybody whos been to italy north of pisa should, if they have symptoms, flu like symptoms, should self isolate, which means go home and try to stay out of contact with other people. If people have been to the affected areas that the Italian Government have quarantined, then they should self isolate, whether or not they have symptoms. From the air, the streets of the red zone do seem eerily quiet. With more than 200 confirmed cases and seven deaths, nowhere near the same scale as in the far east, but its the centre of europes biggest coronavirus outbreak. This man is a priest in the quarantined hamlet of zorlesco. Translation everything has changed in the last three days. There is a surreal atmosphere. You see very few people. The shops and businesses are closed except for takeaways and supermarkets. Even at church, we are being ordered by the authorities and our bishop not to celebrate mass. And at least one school, cransley near northwich in cheshire, has closed for the week after some pupils returning from a ski trip to northern italy reported flu symptoms. Meanwhile, at this hotel in tenerife, around 1000 people are now in quarantine after one guest, a doctor, reportedly from northern italy, tested positive for the virus. And weve just got to stay in the hotel, we cant leave the hotel. We can walk around the grounds, sit on the sun loungers, but theres a cordon around the hotel with police. Elsewhere, in iran, some hospitals and pharmacists are struggling to cope as people queued to get medication. At least 16 people have died and the countrys Deputy Health minister has now become infected. This Turkish Airlines flight out of tehran was diverted after a suspected case among its passengers, and several airlines in the region are now restricting flights in and out of iran. In south korea, the government has ramped up efforts to contain the virus, with the number of confirmed infections close to 1,000. Around two thirds of them are from one christian religious group. 200,000 of its members will now be tested. The crisis might be spreading around the world, but in china, there are signs its beginning to be contained. The original source of the virus is thought to be from the sale of wild animals at this now deserted market in wuhan. Today, news from the government that the trade of such meat will be banned. Just to update you on that hotel that he mentioned in his report in tenerife, we are just hearing the main spokesperson of the Spanish Government saying that the hotel guests, thousands of them, will remaina guests, thousands of them, will remain a lockdown until further tests have been carried out. She says for the time being, the guests will stay at the hotel until the second test results are in and depending on the results of that, appropriate Health Measures will be taken. Spain is following the public Health Measures that are being implemented in italy very closely. That is coming from spain, lets get more from italy. 0ur correspondent, bethany bell, is in milan. The opera is closed, how widespread is this area that seems to be affected by a coronavirus . Well, there is what they call this red zone. This group of, cluster of towns at the south east of milan and then a couple in veneto, which have been quarantined. This is where this spike of cases have been on the authorities have asked people to stay at home and not to move out of that. We were there at the border about its own earlier on, and the town is just roundabout are very, very quiet. Cafe is, in places, shut and businesses shuttered up, on order of the authorities. In bigger towns slightly closer by, there is also a sort of depressed effect on businesses and restaurants. Many places are closing down or not doing very much business at all. Here in milan, shops are open, but the duomo, the cathedral behind me is shut to tourists at the moment, no services are taking place. All part of atte m pts services are taking place. All part of attempts by the Italian Government to try to stop the spread of the disease. It should be said that today is shrove tuesday and it should be the climax of the venice carnival and those celebrations, the mardi gras, have also been cancelled. What about the mood in italy, and response to the outbreak of coronavirus there, is there a sense of panic in any way . |j of coronavirus there, is there a sense of panic in any way . I think insecurity is a better way to describe it. People here are bracing themselves for something, they really dont know what the impact will be. They are nervous. Some people have scoffed at the governments precautions. 0ne people have scoffed at the governments precautions. One man i spoke to said this was an exaggeration and actually, people are. The biggest thing people have to be writing about is the air itself. 0ther to be writing about is the air itself. Other people are saying that no, the government was perhaps too late in taking measures to try to contain this and that it is important to try to stop the spread of the disease. One girl i spoke to said it is kind of like a state of limbo. You are walking around. She isa limbo. You are walking around. She is a University Student who has not been able to go to university because universities are set at the moment in this region. She said, you are trying to carry on with daily life as best you can, as most people are. The number of cases is over 280, but it is still a small number compared to all the people who live here, but the concerns are this is a region which is italys economic powerhouse and if there are long term impacts of these quarantines or if it spreads even more, then people are worried about what the impact could be on italys economy. 0k, thank you very much. Dr Catherine Calderwood is scotlands chief medical officer, shejoins me now from edinburgh. Looking at what is happening in italy, is that changing how you are preparing for things that . We have been very well prepared in the rest of the uk for several weeks now. Our nhs has plans, for the first ten cases and beyond that. So we were expecting to have cases. We have had some in england, none yet in scotland. 0ur epidemiology and virology experts have advised us that cases in scotland are inevitable and we are very well prepared. Inevitable and we are very wellprepared. What does that mean . What are the measures in place . We know that at the moment, containing this virus is all that we can do stop so we want to have people coming forward if they have travelled from high risk areas. They self isolate, they contact us on nhs 24 self isolate, they contact us on nhs 2a out of hours or their gp. We keep them isolated from other people until are tested. At the moment, that has proved extremely successful. If then that containment is not successful, which seems to have happened in the north of italy, you move on down to delaying so spread, simple measures such as washing hands, coughing or sneezing into a tissue and then binning that, avoiding touching your face if your hands and clean. Those will prevent a person to person transmission, so it is very important that people are looking at the website for updated travel advice, but also doing these measures, as we should be doing a nyway measures, as we should be doing anyway in the flu season. We have heard of some schools south of the border closing because groups are from italy have recently returned. This issue of self isolation. If you area this issue of self isolation. If you are a parent and your child has just come back from a trip to an area of italy that is affected by coronavirus, what does self isolation mean . Does that mean the whole family should stay in the house . At the moment, our advice is that if people are travelling from those lockdown cities in italy, then we would want them to self isolate immediately and contact us to get next steps. If they have no symptoms and they are from that area of northern italy, then they can carry on their usual life. The numbers of cases there are still very low and the risk to any one individual in the risk to any one individual in the uk remains low. You are suggesting it is inevitable that there will be cases in scotland . Absolutely. And when do you think the first case may well arise . Absolutely. And when do you think the first case may well arise . |j think in the coming days or weeks we may well have more cases in the uk, generally. This is being transmitted now from europe. We are prepared, though, we have our advice continually being updated. We will continue to work with the other european governments, so that we have the most up to date data and can get our population is the correct advice to try to really contain, in the first instance, and then lay spread of this virus if we need to. What about people who are suggesting this is the moment to start stocking up on essentials, just in case . That is not necessary at the moment. Again, we had a very low risk at the moment in the uk. I think that those containment procedures that we have advised have worked extremely well so far, and we will continue to advise people, but at the moment there is no need for any such drastic measures as stocking up or. Not going to areas where there are lots of people. Doctor, given that the number of deaths associated with coronavirus is still relatively low, is there an element of panic in government response to this . I think we hear from our experts that this can still go one of two ways. There is still a chance that we will have smaller numbers of people affected, who are outside mainland china. And in fact, there will be no need for very many more measures than we have in place. If, however, this does become a global epidemic, then i think the older people in particular, people with other medical conditions, can beat those severely affected and can die. We have estimated the mortality rate at i 2 , so that over a whole population is a large number of people. A large number of people needing to be hospitalised, where this to be a pandemic. So is being prepared in the nhs, the population being aware of what they can do to mitigate against it, is not to create panic, but it is so that we are on the front foot, we know what to do and we can try to contain this and delay the spread as far as possible. Better to be prepared than have a large number of people affected with out of those preparations in place. What about masks . Are they a waste of time . Masks, really, are only effective if someone masks, really, are only effective if someone has the virus to stop the droplets from them coughing or sneezing being passed to someone else. For people who are asymptomatic, who have not got the virus, they are not really protective. The mask is to stop the person who is infected spreading to others. Again, from what you are saying and finally, we are looking ata saying and finally, we are looking at a pandemic, saying and finally, we are looking ata pandemic, a saying and finally, we are looking at a pandemic, a question of when rather than if, are we . No. We still, i think, rather than if, are we . No. We still, ithink, have rather than if, are we . No. We still, i think, have can have this going the other way, that the pandemic is contained and there is not spread beyond some numbers in isolated parts of europe and it doesnt spread throughout european countries. We still very much hope that that is the case. The numbers in china being reported every day has started to reduce, so it would look like they are reaching their peak in china. If that is sustained, then we would hope for very good containment methods, as we are seeing from the Italian Government, for example, will stop this becoming a global pandemic. And we can still control this virus. Dr Catherine Calderwood, chief medical officer in scott scotland. Thank you very much for your time. And a bit of breaking news, we have just heard that 50 pupils from a school in Northern Ireland have been sent home after returning from a italian skiing holiday. They were in lombardi in northern italy and the school is in cou nty northern italy and the school is in county antrim. They show no symptoms, but as a precaution around 50 pupils and staff in that school in Northern Ireland have been sent home.

There he is in delhi with his respective partners, the president of india and of course, the president and first lady continuing what has been a trip surrounded by a and festivity. They landed in ahmedabad and he has held talks with Narendra Modi in his home state, trying to discuss a trade deal, which the president said would prove a great trade deal. But of course, the issue in india at the moment is one of the violence that has been occurring during the visit by the president of the united states. Indias Parliament Passing a bill that offers amnesty to Illegal Immigrants from three neighbouring countries, and that has led to rioting in many cities of india. As you can see, the tranquil surroundings of the president ial palace as the president is given a personal tour there in delhi. To bring us up to speed with events during his president ial visit to delhi in india he was our reporter. Rajini Vaidya Nathan reports. Tensions ignited on the streets of the indian capital. A vision of delhi, which has overshadowed President Trumps trip to the city. Deadly riots between hindus and muslims, sparked by protests over the governments citizenship act, which critics say marginalises muslims. Translation they surrounded my father and i, and asked us to shout hindu slogans, this muslim told the bbc. One man took off my helmet and another hit me on the head with a rod. They were only attacking muslims after identifying us by our names. The violence continues. In this hindu area, mobs were on the streets, chanting, as they carried sticks and stones. There have been victims of both faiths. At least six deaths, including a policeman and more than 150 injured. The worst religious violence delhi has seen for years. Just a few miles away, a display of unity as the us president was hosted by the indian Prime Minister. All smiles but this is deeply embarrassing for mr modi, whose hindu nationalist bjp party has been blamed for stoking the tensions. As the two leaders addressed the media, Prime Minister modi made no mention of the violence as the pair agreed a defence deal. At a solo press conference later in the day, President Trump said he didnt raise the riots with his counterpart. He did talk about religious freedom and i will say the Prime Minister was incredible on what he told me. He wants people to have religious freedom, and very strongly, and he said, in india, they have worked very hard to have great and open religious freedom. But a cloud still hangs over this visit. Despite calling for calm, the government has been accused of not doing enough to quell the violence, which looks set to continue.
