A fire has destroyed a center for migrants. So then italy is imposing tough restrictions on a quarter of its population locking down its 2nd largest city and more than 16000000. 00 people to try and stop the spread of the corona virus is just how it is biggest rise in cases since the outbreak began with more than 1200 confirmed on saturday the lockdown includes the entire region of lombardi where the italian outbreak began and where the most deaths have been recorded home to 10000000 people nobody will be able to move in or out of the area and that includes the economic capital of milan the lockdown will also impact several other provinces including venice affect the another 6000000. 00 people the restrictions are set to remain until early april 5th or a gate because the latest. Casualty in northern italy.

Prime minister just said picante has signed a decree to impose an unprecedented large scale quarantine in the lumber the region home to 10000000 people to limit the spread of coated 19 they seem. Now we have restrictive measures for a much wider area because it wasnt making any sense to say a lot of small red zones while infections have spread all over a longer date and in the provinces we listed this comes after italy reported more than 1200. 00 new infections in one day theres going to be. Many things that again to be closed like jinns cultural centers. All sorts of areas where people get together in large groups restaurants and bars however appear it appears they will be kept. Pope francis hes fighting a cold his Council Public appearances and will deliver his regular sunday prayers to crowds at the vatican by live stream and the leader of one of his least 2 ruling parties has announced that he has corona virus. So it is arrived have coronavirus today obviously ill be monitored like everybody else in the situation i feel fine so it was decided that i would be isolated at home also my family is falling all the protocols to the situations italy is the worst affected country in europe but france germany and the netherlands have all reported a rise in the number of cases while multi slovakia and serbia have confirmed that 1st infections victoria gave him be aljazeera lets make this sort of yeah joins us live now from london extreme measures now in place in italy. Absolutely and as victoria mentioned in her report the pope is currently delivering his sunday analysts prayer but hes doing it not to any crowds in some Peters Square but rather its being live stream just a measure of just how. This crisis is really taking a toll across the country as well so far in italy youve got more than a quarter of the population effectively under lockdown that includes the the economic harbor of milan also venice as well and other provinces including more than a Parma Rimini Padua ringback all cities which really have high population clusters there and which are known really for being the industrial heartland as well youve also had the president of the peer mount region. To achieve hes also been confirmed as having contracted the 19. Virus and so it goes on with this whole intention of trying to sort of stem this spread across the country if this lockdown is is hopefully going to have the effect of reducing how many people do become infected with the virus as well so in the meantime you still have schools and universities which will be closed until april 3rd but also museums and other venues as well which will remain closed until then as as well religious ceremonies including marriages and funerals where people are crowds of people will congregate in or also a perfect opportunity for spread to take place will also be banned as well and of course if you are in a long body you will need to have special permission to be able to enter in or out of the region as well as the other affected provinces that are now under lockdown in the meantime as well is not just of course an italian issue as well. Youve got france 16 people now confirmed to have died from covert 19 youve got now a total of of more than 140. 00 people whove contract it that 19 as well germany there are more than 680 cases however there is no there are no reported deaths from the Novel Coronavirus yet so that at least is a point of interest for which other people perhaps will be looking to see what theyre doing as opposed to what they can be done to stem the disease or its only thanks very much like you are reporting that well iran is one of the coronavirus hot spots and has just reported a sharp increase in the number of deaths and lets go straight away to rob are you standing by for her on and then what are you hearing. Well weve seen another record setting day another sharp increase in the number of those that have died from the corona virus here in iran 49 new deaths reported in the last 24 hours thats the largest jump weve seen so far and another a large jump in the overall number of cases 743. 00 new cases reported that brings the total in iran to around 6566. 00 the total death toll is 194 and despite these very shocking numbers despite these very significant increases the Health Ministry spokesman during his briefing said that the new cases may be down to the fact that there are simply more labs for testing and that what he is seeing is actually a decrease in the trend of the corona virus and how that got to that idea how they got to that conclusion its really difficult to see with this ongoing spread it really feels like the pace of the spread of this virus is continuing it may be because theres more than 2000 people that have recovered that have been released from hospitals and clinics that are on the mend but still another point the Health Ministry spokesman continued to make is that the trend were seeing today the number of positive cases the spike in the number of cases seen day after day is because of people who have been infected over the course of the previous week the previous 10 days and he said once again if people simply follow the government guidance of people simply restrict their movements then they will be able to see the benefit of that in the next 2 weeks or so the incubation period of the coronavirus and he continued to tell people that they cannot the government the Health Ministry the people working on the virus cannot do so cannot make any gains unless the people listen to the governments guidance. So they can tell us more about the kind of measures the government is taking to try and stop the spread. Well many people might say that its come at least 2 weeks to a months too late but home in the religious heartland the seminary city the political heartland the epicenter of where this outbreak began who is currently on lockdown without using the word quarantine effectively there is a quarantine or a semi quarantine in place in the city of home we are seeing hotels and hostels and other venues for hosting people it is a major religious tourism destination those places are on lockdown they are not accepting any other visitors anyone who is in the city their movements are being restricted people are being advised not to go out in large groups police are patrolling units of the Government Security forces are patrolling to try to make sure that people abide by the restrictions on movement and we are seeing the government sanitized city streets so even though the virus has now spread even though to iran province is the place where the majority of cases are now being spotted home at least is on lockdown thats one of the kind of measures the government is taking. So you thanks very much in these numbers or over the terror on.

We know that this Hotel Collapse on saturday evening trapping about 70 people this hotel has about between 5 to 7 stories its a steel structure and its not an old building it was only built in 2018 so were trying to find out the reason for this Hotel Collapse there has been some speculation that some refer bushman being done on the ground floor was a reason behind why the structure gave way and theres been an awful lot of frustration around this because many of the people trapped in the hotel were people who were being told to stay in that to be quarantined an isolated to prevent the spread of coronavirus so they werent there by choice they were there essentially to be monitored for the sake of their health and the health of the community outside so its extremely frustrating that that protective measure has had devastating effects on the people there the Hotel Manager has been other than lord holland has been detained and is currently being questioned and we know that emergency teams are working around the clock there still several people underneath the rubble and the Central Government has also sent additional workers to help try to rescue people countries in africa have until now the worst of the corona Virus Outbreak but they have been new cases in cameroon and togo and at least 45 infections have been confirmed elsewhere on the continent because reports now from senegal.

When youre going to be honest dont count on that remedy though the World Health Organization says theres no evidence that eating garlic has protected people from the new corona virus so far all the cases on the african continent are not coming from china like experts predicted but from europe the outbreak that began in the north of italy is quickly spreading beyond european borders we are not from the pandemic most of the continent is not enough capacity for example for intensive in senegal an emergency crisis cell has been put in place similar to the one during the 201416 bull outbreak over 11000 people died from that virus mostly in west africa. The government does not want to see the virus spread in neighborhoods like this where theres a shortage of water frequent power cuts and the Sanitation Systems are not up to scratch people here live in close proximity and this is a virus thats highly contagious so help that Authorities Say the way to stop the outbreak is Early Detection this is where blood samples of suspected cases are being tested a facility few african countries have and so for professor county avoiding contact including handshakes is a best way to prevent the virus from spreading we need to explain to. Them that they dont need to be afraid they guess needs or prevention aspect while fear of the virus is spreading faster than the virus itself so was misinformation on social media rumors that africans are immune to the virus so that hot weather or local remedies can destroy it with some saying that covert 19 is a western invention its a challenge for african states with the epidemic gaining ground misinformation has become ass contagious as the virus itself Nicholas Hawk aljazeera the car.
