Long sleeve low action seeking compensation. Tello more than 40000000 people have now contract to the corona virus worldwide a quarter of those are still active cases countries across europe are imposing more restrictions to tackle the new wave of infections many have seen a spike in daily cases including poland which is turning this National Stadium into a hospital to cope with the influx of patients its Health Minister warns infections could increase by 20000 cases a day after people dont stick to social distancing guidelines slovenia isnt forcing a nighttime curfew and declared a 30 day state of emergency cases there doubled in the past week and austria is limiting public gatherings to 6 people indoors and 12 outdoors wales in the u. K. Is going into a nationwide lockdown for 2 weeks from friday more than 3000000 people will be affected and everybody apart from essential workers will have to stay home. Between. The 28th of october and the 9th of november everyone in wales will be required to stay at home. This means working from home where ever that is possible and the only exceptions will be critical workers im jobs where a working form home is simply not possible and john hall is joining us from london to tell us a little bit more about what were learning about the situation and well isnt this not in a lockdown. What it had mainly to some degree telegraphed in advance didnt come as a massive surprise and wales has been taking escalated measures for some time now on friday introducing really the quite unprecedented step of banning all travel into wales from other highly infected parts of england and scotland painting a picture really of a pretty decent United United Kingdom it in this pandemic mock drake for their announcing this lock down from friday as you heard 2 weeks long it will be its a pretty big step its going to cause economic pain of course in wales for businesses already stressed and under strain it may well escalate or exacerbate job losses that are coming now down the line as indeed is happening all over the u. K. At the moment Mark Draycott saying that hes a human doing this that was to try and get wales all the way to christmas without any further lockdown measures being required already 2300000 people in wales are under some form of localised restriction he said it was necessary to try and control the course of the 2nd wave particularly necessary though to try and give a breather to the National Health service which is coming under strain again its coming under strain pretty much everywhere its ahead of a bleak winter and crucially to provide a moment a 2 week moment for a sort of restart all reset of the ultimately failing now test trace and isolate system put in place by the government here in london of an eye watering cost of 15000000000. 00 that up to now has been pretty ineffective it isolates. Outbreaks and providing the sort of live accurate up to date data required to be able to deal with them in a localised way so thats something that hes hoping to do and in doing so taking this step that Boris Johnson here in england albeit advised by his own Scientific Advisory group had declined to do mark great food and the devolved ministration in wales going under pretty full scale lockdown now for 2 weeks starting on friday and concerns owners well in other countries across europe with the 2nd wave of infections. Yes well you laid it out pretty graphically there barely a corner of europe untouched at the moment a little bit ahead of the u. K. As was the case in the earlier part of the year perhaps numbers spiralling everywhere poland you saw there building a massive stadium in the capital warsaw belgium notably Health Minister saying the country has lost control of the 2nd wave talking about a tsunami of infections under its on its way and urging people to radically change their behavior even switzerland has seen a big up taking cases 10000 new cases over the weekend and an interesting story in switzerland one count on in switzerland doubled its infection rate rate in september alone the culprit there thought to be a yodeling concert of all things you can imagine people bellowing out the virus all through the mountain valleys. And thought to be the biggest mini cluster so far in the whole of europe so barely a quarter of europe as i said untouched yeah ok tony thank you very much for that update from london for one of those countries bringing in stricter measures as italy dr gloria is a professor for Infectious Diseases at supplements a university of rome shes confident the new measures announced there are enough to put the current Virus Outbreak on their control. First of all we have to say that the number has not increasing in its been a sure way we are searching infected people in your very deep way and of course as much as you look for them the most you look for them the most you find them but what is important to underline is that we find infected people not people with the disease the this is the the the number the fraction of people with the disease quite small and the fractional persons who are severely ill easier than smaller therefore we cannot say that we are in the same condition as we read in march i dont really believe there will be the need for a lockdown a 2nd one distance teaching and mostly for older students those of the higher classes will make a great difference in the future the spreading of the virus and indeed cures in the next 2 weeks so i think that we should be confident that this may show as we hope effectively with the. Increase of the numbers we have observed in the last weeks iran has reported its highest ever single day rise and coronavirus deaths 337 fatalities raises the total to more than 30000 and more than 4000 new infections were confirmed in the past 24 hours thats despite restrictions imposed 3 weeks ago schools germs and theatres are all closed on wearing a mask in public is compulsory in parts of the country.
