Thats right daryn so extended for another 2 and a half weeks to the set of may and he said that they will be more guidelines issued tomorrow on wednesday about exactly who will have to do what where but we are expecting the nationwide lockdown to continue at least to the 3rd of 3rd of may now he acknowledged down to start off with he acknowledged that this lockdown has been really particularly difficult for indias millions of poor and especially the daily wage earners he said that they remain his top priority acknowledge that many have been hungry that a lot of them are far away from their homes and he also spoke about the need for 1st imposing the lockdown on how india had a lockdown in place when there was Something Like 500 confirmed cases and that much more developed countries who imposed a lockdown later than india are in a much worse off situations if it was he said talked about the need to do it and now the need to extend it because even though there were 500 cases 3 weeks ago and there has been a lockdown in place there are needing 9000 active confirmed cases right now so the numbers have grown exponentially in saying that thats why the lockdown had to continue and again talking about the daily wage earners who need the support and also at the moment india is facing a possible agriculture crisis because of the lock down Something Like 50 percent of indias population depends on farming farmers have been havent been able to harvest their winter crops and havent been able to plant their summer crops because of the lack of labor and this could really affect the Food Supply Chain in india so this is a problem thats really come up over the last few weeks of the lockdown and he said that its something that hes going to be working on again guidelines and more information about all of these things he said will be announced over the next few days but for now another 2 weeks of lockdown for india is 1300000000 people all right and is about iran and for us in your daily elizabeth thank you.

B. Pritzker of illinois who both say that there does seem to be a bending of that curve this is what the president said just a short time ago america has continued to make critical progress at our war against the virus over the weekend the number of daily new infections remained flat nationwide flat hospitalizations a slowing in hot spots like new York New Jersey michigan and louisiana this is clear evidence that our aggressive strategy to combat the virus is workin on sunday you have anthony found the director of allergy and Infectious Diseases the point man on this pandemic for the administration who was asked if the administration had acted earlier would lives have been saved and he said yes he couldnt deny that well in his News Conference one of the 1st things the president did was trot out anthony who had to walk back all of those comments saying that in fact in the only 2 times he actually confront the president were in mid march when he recommended that there be some kind of lock down in business closing and then 2 weeks later when he recommended that that be extended for another 2 weeks and he said that when he said there had been pushback back in february that that was probably a bad choice of words.

As all but essential businesses remain closed and new yorkers stay home there are signs that strict social distancing measures are working the governor says the state is seeing fewer hospitalizations for the coronavirus we can control the spread feel good about that the worst is over here if we continue to be smart Going Forward but even as President Trump expresses his hope to get americans back to work in may the governor warned against lifting restrictions too soon new yorks governor said hell be listening to experts in Public Health in the economy not politicians as to when it will be safe for new yorkers like me to leave home and return to work but how do so in consideration with governors from neighboring states. That includes one to reopen schools the mayor of new york city thinks they should stay closed through june but i need to do to protect kids and parents and families and educators theres not going to be a context to reopen schools with so much were going to have to deal with on the health front to get to a better place and a more stable place but the governor says ultimately that will be his decision one he has yet to make kristen salumi aljazeera new york.

Now the coronavirus is impacting the meat and Dairy Industries in the United States as work has become sick Meat Processing plants are being shut down and with cafes and restaurants close Dairy Products are going to waste particle hain explains. Its happening across the Country Rivers of milk dumped down drains and ponds millions of leaders wasted by farmers who say they cant sell it the reason about half of their customers are closed restaurants bars School Cafeterias all shuttered but at the same time store shelves are mostly empty theres very little milk to be found and those that can find some are being limited to how much they can buy Wisconsin Dairy farmer Marty Hallock says the problem is that milk package for restaurants is not the same as the kind they can sell in stores now. Plants were sent out to our bottle now in certain containers so i. E. The schools where Small Computers you know a lot of people buy them small containers and store a minute and then to be honest with the. Issue from storage in trucking and now there is a new concern about the countrys meat supply meat packing plants are tight quarters and his workers get sick but the coronavirus plants are closing across the country analyst steve meyer says he expects more plants to close especially as it peaks in certain states at the end of may but he says the country will not run out of meat remember that a plan to get out does that mean that the hogs disappear i suppose hogs are still out there they will have to be slaughtered and processed at some point and. So as long as the plants are permanently down were not running out and all of this is happening while tens of millions of americans go hungry with so many out of work this is what Food Bank Distribution now looks like all across the country from california to pennsylvania florida to texas miles of cars lined up for a box of free food were looking at an increase of 17100000. 00 people over the course of the next 6 months when they see that access coming into that are some of them smile and some of them cry its been an increasing trend up until now americans have spent more money at restaurants and bars their Grocery Stores that is what the supply chain was built for bringing the country to this point so much fresh food wasted when its desperately needed the most political gain and jazeera washington. So europe now in spain has taken the 1st step to ease its nationwide lockdown hundreds of thousands of nonessential employees have been allowed to return to work italy is also easing some restrictions from tuesday when it came reports now from berlin. For many thousands of people across europe this is the reality of the coronavirus for many millions more it means locked down and the loss of their freedom of movement and for many weeks thats been the case in france now its a president says it must stay that way a lot longer. Need a false. Hospitals are saturated everywhere in france in the French Overseas territories the system is under strain and the epidemic is not yet under control so we must continue our efforts and continue to respect the rules the more they are respected the more lives will be saved that is why the strictest lockdown must continue until monday may the 11th. But elsewhere monday meant a return to work after weeks in lockdown as here in madrid because in this and a few other sectors of the economy the toughest restrictions have been lifted and some spanish politicians say now is not the time to relax the vigilance even to this small extent and in most other regards the existing lockdown will remain in place for much of the next 2 weeks in italy a small number of stationery shops book shops and Childrens Clothing stores can reopen from choose day because here the number of new infections remains considerably lower than joining the worst days last month but as in spain the mortality rate remains high a point pope francis referred to in his Easter Monday address at the vatican or g. Recorded. During this easter week i would like to remember with closeness and affection all the countries strongly affected by the coronavirus some with large numbers of infected and in a special way italy United States bahrain france the list is long. And many other countries are worried to the latest figures from russia show the infection and mortality rates are on a steep upward curve. As you can see the situation is changing almost every day unfortunately its not changing for the better the number of infected people increases and there are more through view cases as well the upcoming weeks would largely be decisive that means that all our actions including. Vention measures should be optimized here in germany the abundance of intensive care and wide scale testing have helped to keep the mortality rate much lower than in much of the rest of europe which explains why some politicians now want to relax the restrictions here so as to reduce the economic damage as much as possible because some projections suggest that in this quarter alone the economy may shrink while most 10 percent if the lock downs are to ease and we should get the 1st news of it on wednesday right angle america will discuss the problem with the Prime Ministers of the 16 german States Dominic kane aljazeera burl in.
