And in another corner of spains exhausted Health System a 1st meeting for mother and child are there i. Gave birth a week ago in fact it cautious steps now towards family life. Spain has europes highest rate of infection but its been declining for more than a week taking no chances Prime MinisterPedro Sanchez announced an extension to the state of emergency. This i announced at a council of ministers next. To extend for the 2nd time the state of emergency from april 12th to midnight on april 25th italy so badly hit by the virus in recent weeks may also be past its peak with infections slowing and germany has registered a slight decrease in the infection rate but not enough to ease restrictions no letup in the lockdown in france either where paris in the sunshine was eerily quiet. Here in the u. K. A week or 2 behind those countries coronaviruses claimed europes youngest victim a 5 year old said to have had an Underlying Health condition. Saturday saw another record death toll with the peak and plateau expected to arrive in a week to 10 days what happens at that point in this lovely sunny weather depends very much on the extent to which people can maintain their discipline and stay indoors as much as possible a prominent scientist who advises the government explained earlier that the plateau when it arrives may either fairly quickly give way to reduced numbers or if the lockdown isnt rigidly observed now those consistently high numbers of infections and deaths could go on for weeks Available Evidence was promising with police and the government encouraging people to stay home you must stay at home to protect the n.

Lets get more now from mary in the mercy she joins me now from london via skype there in marion theres a city sees the biggest single rise in the u. K. Death rates and there are fears the improving weather could bring further problems. Yes the figures painting a very grim picture today and actually got those figures before the briefing an increase of 708 deaths the largest daily increase as you are saying this brings the overall death toll to 4 1313. 00 and sad news here in jonahs report that does include a 5 year old boy who did have Underlying Health conditions we were hearing in that government briefing that they were emphasizing the case of the 5 year old boy but also a 36 year old nurse a 13 year old boy who lost their lives after contracting the coronavirus earlier this week to emphasize the importance of social distancing measures and there is this fear that with the weather improving there is expected to be very warm sunny weather this weekend typically people would be spending more Time Outdoors they would be taking day trips they might want spend more time with friends and family the message from the government is that lists must not happen people must continue to comply with the existing measures because compliance is what will determine the the time scale and the effectiveness of these lockdown measures and so that it is absolutely vital that they continue to do that if in the coming weeks we are to see a lower rate of infection fewer hospitalizations and fewer deaths and certainly not the year as many in the u. K. Would have been wanting to hear but some better news perhaps for other European Countries for working tell us about that. Yes thats right its interesting because the u. K. Is thought to be a couple of weeks behind countries like spain and italy just marriage very much bent in the eye of the storm as weve seen the number of deaths and the rate of infection rising a quite an alarming rate as the virus is taken hold in both these countries but perhaps some sign today of improvement we have seen in italy perhaps a slower rate of new infections also numbers suggesting the use of the use of hospital beds particularly those Critical Care beds are there a fewer patients and that suggests that there are less patients becoming critically ill from the virus and then in spain for the 2nd day in a row the death toll has been declining and that prompted at the Prime MinisterPedro Sanchez to say that there might be some light at the end of the tunnel but i suppose you do have to treat these figures with some caution because in spain and italy where we have seen hospitals and Healthcare Systems overwhelmed there might be a delay in the reporting of some desk and there might also be a slowdown in the number of tests that are taking place and really. You know you have to be able to look at the figures over a period of time and you need to be able to identify some kind of pattern to definitively conclude that you have reached a peak and past a peak and even if the numbers start to plateau and flatten for a time you then need to reach the other side of that curve where you see those numbers steadily declining and that could take some time yet ok mary in the massive brain is all a very latest there from london thank you very much indeed.
