Trump says he wants the u. S. To reopen for business seaton house more americans get infected. Were not going to let it turn into a long lasting financial problem started out as a purely medical problem and its not going to go beyond that. Bought into the program the restrictions are starting to come of millions of chinese in the province where the corona Virus Outbreak began at midnight on tuesday he will start allowing some travel just as many other countries are introducing more drastic measures the region of more than 60000000 people has been under lockdown since late january when the government closed roads railways and airports but residents will soon be allowed to leave once they get a tracking code confirming that their virus free but the one exception is the city of the worst affected area. Katrina are you is our correspondent following events for so the chinese have an answer as restrictions about to be lifted at the epicenter of the outbreak i mean what sort of changes will there be for people really in the province practically as well as those in will hand. Thats right so from january 23 that almost 2 months ago nobody was going in or out of prove a province 60000000 people were affected as you mentioned now starting from midnight people in kuwait province will be able to one to get in a car and drive freely around the province theyll be able to use public transport go from different cities to different counties you may be able to enter who have a province if you have a green card and if you have a Green Health Code certifying that you are virus free you may also in theory be able to leave a province now there are some important caveats at the moment the only way to leave a province will be on a chartered bus or charge a train taking primarily workers from who pay province to other workplaces around the country there are still no or public trains planes or buses leaving could be a problem so though there have been 3 airports that have announced that they are opening so we do expect more flights in trains to be open over the next few days but the 1st flight that we could find and out of a problem so far is is not until this weekend and also its really still up to the provincial governments around the country to decide whether theyre going to let people from who be in beijing for example is still very much close to anybody from crew bay province so there is still a certain level of wariness about this infection and nobody wants to see a 2nd wave of infections in the country so people are still paying attention to this or wall who may be the sort of focus state you might say in china one of the covey answers you as you mentioned just a moment ago for those traveling around china for those wanting to enter the country itself there must be some issues that. Thats right so they seem to be quite confident that the main threat from her bay province is no longer that theyve had almost 0 cases from q. B. In the past week but what they have seen is a rise of imported cases beijing government gave a press Conference Today saying that 95 percent of all new cases across the mainland are actually imported cases and currently there are 427 imported cases mainly people green sections from the u. K. Spain italy and iran and because of this different states different provinces and different cities have increased checks for people traveling between them in beijing itself theyve done diverted all International Flights so International Flights can no longer land in a beijing airport theyre being diverted to 12 other airports around the country for people to be screened and tested and all International Travelers to china must be checked for the coronavirus thats every Single Person traveling to china at the moment at a smaller level in beijing where theyre particularly worried because at the moment were seeing about 8000 arrivals to beijing every day alone theyve increased checks that every residential compound every office you must give you details they check temperatures quite regularly and also quite worryingly because the main focus now is on imported cases there seems to be this increasing suspicion of foreigners in the city and there have been some reports unfortunately that some hotels and restaurants are no longer allowing any foreigners to enter the really. Well the new restrictions are being lifted in china other countries are preparing for the worst most of Indias States are now in the lockdown nearly a 1000000000 people have been ordered to stay in their homes nationwide curfews are in place and domestic flights have been banned and thats in addition to the International Flights india has reported more than 460 confirmed cases and 9 deaths well doctor and if she her 3 years a medical doctor at calcutta rescue a charity providing medical and Educational Services in west bengal joins me now on skype from gun dock in sicamous good to have you with us on the program thank you very much for your time what hurdles in your opinion do medics face when trying to deal with coronavirus in and outside of a hospital or clinical environment. Oh in india the major problem which we have seizing currently is the cute black and charge of our own personal protective equipment to begin it and the other major problem is that a long bitch that called 900 patients we have thousands of other patients battling that other diseases as well so we are having a hard time balancing that and the other major problem the ethnicity of the quarantined facilities. There you know the educated literate people who are we entering the country from of who are trying many ways to reach the problems and. Yet need to work rats running only on the phone thankfully says so let me do you host 2 parties which involves gathering work more than 100 people who later on yes it was it because she like about her talents like ok she could have had on a on a lot of issues or lets just focus in on one in terms of the way the government in your opinion is it good up for the numbers that are going to be affected you talk about the fact that there already are people in hospital or about to go to hospital with preexisting medical issues what are indias facilities like both in the public and the private sector for gearing up for those extra beds that are required. As you know as you know our population so what i mentioned oh youll be do have a lot of the existing cases so keeping that in view the government has has equipped the Central Government in students and hospitals to all of very good extent but however at this moment to be arche the bill off between 260. 00 thats a positive but if it is going to enter the next 2 years and then grow and raise exponentially then i need not that is a threat and i think what new country is. What she needed. Indeed i mean from from the people you have spoken to or even met lets talk about the quarantine procedures at the moment obviously not everybody is observing those quarantine procedures as you suggested what advice are you giving to those people that really cant get to a medical facility or cant be seen by a medical professional for one reason or another in terms of if they are suspicious they might have covert 19. You know what we have done to our country to begin with this we have installed 3 automated call it to you so anytime you call any indian number you will have a computer talking to you telling you the basic symptoms and the cautions that you did they have in force just look at every rare every new shannon has been advertising the same and we as medical professionals have been. Advertising at propagating the strain in our social media accounts and like domination i come from there are many of the right solutions which work and more here are 3 and we are working day and night to get to the theme problem. So yes iran has being going on in a very astutely signal but i doubt that the people are the. Problem what that means. In terms of those people that dont have the technology of a mobile phone and india is renowned for having a large proportion of the population that lives in poverty doesnt have access to medical facilities doesnt have access to the simple thing as we take for granted a mobile phone what sort of help are you giving them as part of your charity. Yes so that is what i talked about we do have a number of organizations n. G. O. S as nongovernmental as well as governmental who are at least imperious remote areas of the country addressing to the same problem but yes it is not enough and we need to do a lot lot more because right now at this level of this pandemic has only effect at the height of the components thats not my country you want to see if stuck to the lower economic strata and it becomes a Community Problem it is going to be its going to spread like wildfire yes dr de chattery thanks so much for joining us from gun talk in sick and good to have you with us thank you over to europe now our soldiers in spain whove been sent to help during the crisis have found elderly patients in Retirement Homes abandoned and in worst cases dent in their beds they military were sent to disinfect care homes in one of europes worst hit countries an ice rink in madrid has been converted into a temporary mortuary the covert 1000 victims of spains defense minister says the government will come down hard on Retirement Homes found guilty speculum entirely and i know the majority are fulfilling their duty they are paying attention but listen this has to be said the army in some of their visits to the care centers ive seen elderly people completely abandoned even dead in their beds or.

Lets just talk about sort of obviously grave situation across europe it continues to be grave on a serious note knows those numbers continue to rise. Yeah lets just just walk through the numbers to start with spain as weve been saying hes another record high yesterday whether it was 6000 new cases 514 deaths from 496 the previous day so completely going the wrong direction i mean terrible things as we as we know coming out of spain nice ring to the small producer. Was telling us america there are still people breaching the lockdown so very much of the same tricks of it silly and everyone is looking to the figures coming out of a city not to see if theyre going to go down from its peak of 796 on saturday for the 3rd day in a row the World Health Organization was saying this morning that there is what just what the describes a glimmer of hope that its only might be starting to get through the absolute worst of this but obviously terrible terrible costs on the other sides youve got germany another 4. 00 and a half hours in cases in germany and yet only 28. 00 deaths for the robocall institute so a completely different ratio of the number of cases to 2 its of the mortality there still trying to work out in germany why theyve been so successful whether its so much testing whether people are best keeping apart from each other that in some of the countries but i think particularly if theres going to be a 2nd wave at some point and it isnt. It isnt got rid of completely in europe i think germany is going to be key to figuring out what best practice looks like in future indeed and closer to home where you are in the u. K. Huge moves on a monday evening waiting to spread to stem the spread of the virus now and people waking up to a new reality that the country hasnt seen for decades. Well no but its only the same as everywhere else so you know brits i think you know they have any reason to feel hard done by and indeed there was a poll this morning for polio in additional you gov that suggests that Boris Johnsons announcement last night that huge numbers of television news. About 93 percent of the population and so based on that even though you can still see that she trains in london being of the crowded this morning theres theres a general sense that people recognize whats happened on the continent and the the ease in this country even though they seem to move relatively late compared to other places its still sufficiently early to take a base of pressure off the Health Service in the void those 2 terrible spikes in cases that have been have been seen. In spain and italy the police here are very keen to say they dont want to go down the road of fines and force months and all those sorts of things you know in fun 500 euros for using a pastry in the dark that the point that theyre making which i think is really well made is that the subpoena amounts of pay oppression attached to this and people are saying to each other youre not going out and almost a community starting to self police if this is going to work for the moment lawrence lee thanks very much for joining us from london.
