To the people of china spain and italy who suffered to untold heartbreak and loss we are with you to everyone who has lost a loved one to this virus we are with you to all those living in the shadow of what is to come we are with you. Pubs and schools are closed and large gatherings forbid it in ireland and the rest of Europe Social distancing is the price to pay to slow the spread of the coronavirus lets get the view from belgium now our correspondent baron recruit is that brussels plus for us hi baron good to see you this lockdown in belgium has just gone into effect and we can see the square behind you does look pretty empty what have you been seeing there. Now the grown plot the iconic card of process is pretty empty but as you can see behind me theres still some people on the square you have taking photos looking whats going on and also Television Crews are here because journalists actually exempt from this lockdown all co if you and the police even bus that says they will and force it very friendly very slowly because people can go to do their groceries they can go to pharmacies they can also exercise the people i encouraged to walk and to joke together but not in large groups and only maybe for the family members and you can also walk your dell dog and the costs for friend for french fries the iconic belgian food will also stay open you can still have you take away food brussels yeah those french fries are definitely at a crucial part of the culture that bad i mean how people in general been coping with this a lockdown with this idea of having to be stuck inside. The aviation say that the streets in brussels are right empty people go to book but they have refrained from from being on the street theyre gathering in large crowds cultural institutions are closed but the government said this is not enough we have to do more and thats why the government decided. To tighten the routes but its not complete the shutdown now in europe the European Court has emptied out the commission pod and the situation is now shut down and people try to work from home as far as possible. See how this looked was no entail and what is the state of the outbreak right now in belgium. The budget has so far recorded 1400 infections 14 people have died. So the numbers are not very high in a population out of 11000000 and the government says we have to do. These measures to keep it this way flatten the curve is also you. Know the rule in brussels and bowser. Would know to leave people between 40 and 50 more infected than bowser not so far and 3 much to people about this separately oad like in other countries. Are banned re good reporting there for us from brussels thank you now doctors and nurses are at the forefront of efforts to save lives in europes worst affected country italy more than 2 and a half 1000 Health Workers have tested positive for the corona virus the Northern Region of lombardy which has been at the center of the outbreak is appealing to recently retired doctors and nurses to return to work to help overwhelmed colleagues well take you now inside an intensive care unit in italy. The camera follows column as streaming into the epi center of the Coronavirus Crisis in northern italy a hospital increment in the long body rages she explains what she must wait to keep safe. Surgical gloves shoe covers head gear special gloves that are different to the ones ive got on now and most importantly face masks and protective glasses. Must raney and colleagues have lost count of the number of hours theyve spent treating patients in the intensive care unit. Patients connected to ventilate those while lying on their stomachs the pressure makes it easier for oxygen to into the bloodstream at least thats what supposed to happen for people suffering from pneumonia but now the method isnt working and the doctors and nurses cant explain why. The problem. Unfortunately we havent seen anyone recover yet in this hospital. Ideally wed like to take some patients off the ventilators and see whether they get better. We need a successful case to know that were doing the right thing. Up until now mr rayney says 107 patients have already died in this unit of the hospital out of 854 people who were brought here. Weve had several deaths and its really wearing us down because were thinking were not in a position to do what were here for treating patients so they get better by watching them die and inside were dying to. The hospital in promoter has been taking in coronavirus patients since the beginning of the operation outside theyve set up tents for triodes sorting patients for treatment. What shocks me is that we have no power in the face of this emergency. Of course were used to dealing with severely ill patients who are close to death and we know what our job is. But weve never had such a rapid influx of people in danger of losing their lives. Its hard its hard for everyone. But death rate is significant but there has been one ray of light here today a 23 year old man made a full recovery and was able to leave the hospital. Wife at 9 i collapsed on the sofa i sleep but not well because im waking up every hour with nightmares my husband and daughter waited home for me they try to talk to me but i dont really take it in they ask me if im listening but i cant. Get it its terrible. Calamus trainee will keep trying to help and to heal that is a job at the hospital increment the epi center of the Coronavirus Crisis. Well to prevent a situation like that in the north of italy the whole country has been on lockdown for over a week earlier we heard about the most noticeable changes in daily life from correspondents and around. Well just to give you an idea when theyre out in the street they make a conscious effort we keep that social distancing montra you know i keep that distance from each other you look at that person coming down the street frost the road to go the other side of people and you dont want that number of people now his boss on if they dont have a mosque they use the stuff they do something to cover the bases out we saw in that package about minds outside the supermarkets outside the song the seas thats very much a base everybody trying to keep their distance that said however the authorities and the Team Ministry has noted for example 8000 sanctions or violations of that measures that have been put in place in terms of movement of people in just one day the authorities are making it very clear to the public this crucial week thats coming up is very important that people stay at home and they are planning to increase the penalties of youre looking into that if people dont listen even the south declaration form that one has to fill up in order to move around for essential activity or for work or for Health Issues has been changed you have to declare also if you are under warranty if you tested positive and if anybody but he violates that you can face a charge of causing damage and so therefore authorities are taking this very seriously they want people to stay indoors simi said the week ahead is crucial and we heard the governor of the Northern Region on monday say that there are 1st signs of a possible slowdown in the rate of infection in that region which is you know one of the most with the worst affected really in this crisis how long do authorities think it will take until the peach is reached. Well thats what everyone is waiting to hear some have suggested maybe the peak will come in that around the 25th of march but honestly even this slight reduced rates of infection that we have seen everybody say lets take this cautiously some semblance of hope but we cannot afford to go out guard and this is to a should up north is very die of the in the early in the province of the way hearing dramatic stories of funeral workers getting inspected because theyre having to deal with the overwhelming number of deaths and ways to handle funerals people are not allowed to attend the funerals of the and last ones in the area been the most well 2 postal workers are said to have died and the Postal Workers Union say are upset about this if they want to close the offices altogether so definitely moments of tension particularly up north while the rest of the country is trying to grease to sell additional sections all right see most of the reporting there from rome thank you for that update as we have heard the number of covered 1000 cases is rising rapidly Germany Center for Disease Control is now stressed that millions of people could be infected if they do not follow the measures imposed by the federal and state governments on restricting daily life. Stuart let me make this perfectly clear when he asked me if we do not implement the program we have created the measures we recommend for you and which the German Government has also adopted for reading on if we do not manage to reduce contact between people for a few weeks then it is possible that in 2 to 3 months we will have up to 10000000 infected people in germany. And this will be a considerable burden on our Health System which will last through the reasons. European countries arent the only ones clamping down on their borders the u. S. And canada which share the worlds longest land border are working out the details of banning all nonessential travel between the 2 countries british Prime MinisterBoris Johnson has hinted that the u. K. Might also have to close its schools as in many other European Countries the czech government is ordering its citizens to start wearing face masks or Something Else to cover their mouth and nose when they go out in public and japans deputy Prime Minister says holding the summer olympics would make no sense if countries cannot send athletes but the government says it is still working to hold the games as scheduled. Now we asked some of yours correspondents around the world to give us their assessment on the chrono virus from their location. I could never have imagined that people in europe would ask me to send them this 10 minute hisor from the real me but nothing is normal these days here in west africa a region where people already face and even run from the security challenges they know watching this believe us people are fighting over oil that people are in parts of the world considered much better off the government has shut down schools colleges gyms and from and pools across the country and as advice private companies do one law for them ploys to work from the streets however bad a business of usual look because shops im markets remain open some states have employed some ban on gathering for more than 50 people do interesting leave debbie the one exception that is being made is for weddings since in the soviet union and accidents while usually hushed up people in russia often think the government must be hiding something from them so when it comes to the corona virus many people here dont trust official reports and to the. True extent of the catastrophe can only be guessed at from the beginning of the crisis israel has taken trusted steps to slow down the spread of covert 19 israelis returning from any country have to go straight into self quarantine for 14 days for this cannot enter the country unless they have a place to quarantine in the u. K. Its only now sinking in how severe the crisis is in the streets it is quieter than usual after Prime MinisterBoris Johnson has advised people to stay indoors and to work from home as much as possible if you like younger people also allowed in about but many older people are more scared some with Underlying Health conditions have even left the country. Our correspondents are reporting from around the world now as the virus continues to spread across europe there are growing fears of an outbreak of greeces overcrowded migrant camps last week authorities confirmed the 1st case of the corona virus on the island of les pauls prompting fears that it could spread to the islands morea camp refugees there are already living in squalid conditions with little medical care now theyre more at risk than ever before. The maria camp was originally planned for 3000 people but now its housing some 20000 asylum seekers. They live in homemade tents outside the official camp in whats been nicknamed the jungle. More than a 1000 people share a single water outlet which frequently malfunctions. Right here obviously has not water so we must go again to hold. This life. Sudar an afghan doctor lives with his wife and 4 children in a small tent they fled the war in their country and now rely on a. This means waiting in long crowded lines for hours to get food avoiding close contact is almost impossible in morea Aid Organizations say the camp is an ideal breeding ground for the coronavirus. We are extremely concerned about these very cramped conditions theres no soap its impossible for people to take even the most basic hygiene precautions and thats whats worrying because it means they cannot do anything to stop the spread of the virus if it were to write an account the Aid OrganizationDoctors Without Borders runs a hospital here on the outskirts of the camp there are hardly any coronavirus testing kits and this is shortage of doctors many patients already have respiratory illnesses and we continue. Which makes it much easier to contract the virus. We have a lot of people who are very vulnerable anyway and we have a lot of very Sick Children also suffering from chronic diseases diabetes is very c. V. And mental Health Issues and obviously we have adults too have been traumatized so its difficult to predict but in principle all these people i stream the vulnerable to yet another Health Threat the greek government says its prepared for this scenario that there ease a chronic crisis plan but the camp Aid Organization says they get to see it. Thats why theyre taking matters into their own hands. And Team Humanity is small n. G. O. S refugees so surgical masks they can make up to 300. 00 day. Their volunteers are amazing this women are sitting there from 7 oclock in the morning on till 9 10 in the evening and just want to do it would tell them to go break they dont want to go break the just want to work they want to help they know how dangerous this is everybody knows. Because of this threat theres really only one solution which is that the European Union must do Everything Possible to evacuate these people as quickly as possible lets pause morea camp is not a place where you can handle a potential coronas threat and the action needs to come now. But as European Countries continue to seal off their borders many refugees are afraid theyll be forgotten in the Coronavirus Crisis.
