During a weekly Cabinet Meeting iranian president Hassan Rouhani struck an optimistic tone saying that the reports about containing the coronavirus in iran are promising a taskforce set up earlier this week by the president including senior members of the government and armed forces he said are making gains in controlling the spread of the disease something that has become a Major Public Health crisis here in the country he also addressed public concerns about whether or not the information coming from officials could actually be trusted this after a member of parliament representing the city of home where the 1st case was detected said the number of cases and deaths from this virus are far higher than official figures reported by the government heres what the president had to say about that and i dont mean. I emphasize that we dont manipulate the figures we know the increase no decrease them nor do we exaggerate or downplay him ive told the Health Ministry to announce the figures they have this is a plot we see today in foreign propaganda recently a high ranking u. S. Official made a comment about coronavirus in iran that it themselves are dealing with the flu 16000 died because of that the cea but they dont talk about it and now they are turning their attention to corona virus in iran earlier this week president Hassan Rouhani also said that the situation in the country could begin to normalize as early as saturday just a matter of days now but during a briefing by the spokesman for the countrys Health Ministry he said that government officials are expecting the number of corona virus cases in iran to go up in coming days in the u. S. This concern over whether the government is prepared for an outbreak president will hold a News Conference on the virus in the coming hours White House Correspondent joins us live from washington yesterday the president seemed fairly relaxed about the virus do we think anythings changed. The president is continuing to try and reassure an increasingly nervous American Public the problem is that many of the messages coming from the president himself have been somewhat contradictory to the headlines or even the comments from his own Public Health officials for example the president has said this is very much under control that the risk of mortality is low even that there is a vaccine that is on the horizon yet thats not what his Public Health officials have been saying in fact theyve been saying just the opposite as you pointed out one saying its not a question of if but when this will begin to disrupt americans daily lives also americans noting that there has been a rattling of the stock market something that the president has always pointed to to try and boy confidence so the challenge for the president in all of this is to reassure americans a several weeks ago he did put in place a task force to deal with the crisis there have been for screenings at airports even in forced quarantine from some passengers who either are showing symptoms or perhaps have recently traveled back to regular from china but Many Americans now looking for much more than that there has been a request for funding of 2500000000 as you pointed out but even members of the president s own party saying this is woefully inadequate the president seems to be taking this rather personally hes been pushing back saying that is the media that has been portraying this is far more serious than the situation may be and now hes called for this press conference were watching very carefully to see what he might say in terms of next steps down there have been several porting maybe there would be a selection of a socalled corona virus czar something that we saw the brock Obama Administration do when it came to bola the white house for now saying that is not the case that is not the plan but of course that could change of we watch very carefully 23 g. M. T. Is what we expect to hear from president can we how can i thank you very much indeed.

He worries about what will happen next but also tries to stay calm dont feel d so ringback i dont live alone so every time i go back home i think about it because maybe ive been in contact with someone that has it but im without symptoms and were constantly checked. Marco says he doesnt want to diminish the gravity of the crisis but he also likes looking on the bright side and tells us there are surprising benefits to living under lockdown. Its beautiful because you see kids playing in the streets the way it was many years ago during the days of our parents and grandparents there was much more light heartedness. d just up the road from cars was that a lingle is the town of put on your considered the center of the outbreak because the 1st locally transmitted coronavirus case was detected there from about all the audio protea runs a residential facility for patients with mental and physical disabilities he tells a staff at the center of doing all they can to keep the situation calm and to ensure the compound remains free of the virus.

Will become as it should be in chile for example 26 people have been put under quarantine they are suspected of having Sister Sister or other symptoms that could be consistent with the corona virus but this has not been confirmed that they are actually can date so where the authorities are keeping a very very close eye on the situation but people are beginning to get nervous and thank you very much.

The major violent scenes are stopped at least for now and now theyre assessing the damage as you can see quite extensive in this part but also the human cost the death casualty figures are going up by the hour almost and Something Like 250 people have been injured and killed and now theres a mop up operation that has been a piece really because of women who were decided to stop their protest in jeffery bad at a station.

Also have been stoned and beaten too to the point where their injuries may meant they died so we dont know what the situation is there needs to be an inquiry human rights activists are calling for the government to actually take deeper stronger measures to find out the root causes of this and find the people who were responsible and bring them to justice that would may be one of the 1st steps needed to bringing these communities together again still to come on aljazeera while libyas eastern based government know well to warn or tell if our time is refusing to take part in un peace talks.
