Iran continues to be the coronavirus hotspot of the middle east joining global efforts to fight covert 19 scientists are working on developing testing kits could be ready to be exported within months but there are growing signs of recovery in iraq with daily deaths falling to the lowest level in weeks the reports. In laboratories like this all over the world scientists are trying to answer the same questions how can covert 1000 be stopped is there a cure when will this Global Crisis be over at the Pasteur Institute into one iranian experts are working with chinese colleagues to try and improve testing for the virus something that has been a challenge since the early days of the outbreak so im coming here for just to have a 10 to. Condense on training and know how to use the test because you would see more here but it has to be if you please stop im sorry our interview with the visiting expert was cut short by security i mean i mean you know about the government here has been criticized for responding too slowly to the pandemic and it seems officials and remain sensitive about anything related to its coronavirus response. Set up in 1920 the campus into herat is named for french scientist Louis Pasteur a 19th century pioneer of modern medicine this institute runs dozens of labs and employs hundreds of staff across the country the government Hopes Research and development here will enable iran to export diagnostic kits and medical equipment this facility is nearly 100 years old and one of the largest of its kind in the middle east for years scientists in these kinds of labs have been fighting all manner of diseases Infectious Diseases and now their priority the inskeep a priority for these men and women is to try to find a way to fight covert 19 why is the virus more severe in some patients does it mutate and can survivors develop immunity. Answers to these questions and the discovery of a vaccine in a place named after a pioneer in the field would be an Outstanding Achievement and the head of the institute made it clear that is the ambition that.

To her. Well staying in the middle east as the number of new cases beacons to drop in some countries qatar is still recording hundreds of new infections every day it now has the 2nd highest number of cases in the arab world despite having a relatively small population aljazeera qatars a Public Health minister dr hunter Mohamed Al Corey about the criticism over lock downs and Migrant Worker areas but you know because when you start of the law locking down that area particularly thats where International Rights organizations were pretty much concerned. Saying that basically the Migrant Workers are at particular risk of exposure to coronavirus because of the lack of a dick with water sanitation and that those areas are notoriously overcrowded i think the point about dense population is true everywhere so in every city where there is dense population the risk of the corona virus spreading is higher so you saw that in the capitals where there is a very high death population even new york its a very densely populated area so when you have dense populations then you have a higher risk and you need to take very strong Public Health measures and thats what we did what kind of indicators would be enough for us to say were starting to flatten the curve the fact that we are not picking as aggressively as we could have is because we have that in the curve so very early on we put in place social distancing measures including closing down some of the businesses that we know are very close contact between individuals 20 percent of our workforce are working from their offices and 80 percent are working online so by putting in place all these social distancing measures we have actually flatten the curve.
