President scrub all surfaces they think might be susceptible to contamination. But no matter how much they clean nothing can remove the fear of infection. And italy i spoke to correspondent thema gupta in iraq and i asked her if young people in italy are taking the precautions to curb the spread of the virus seriously well thats the whole point i mean what the authorities are saying is that you can be young you can have the inspection and it will not present any symptoms that you may just have a mild cold a. B. C. Or few aches and pains because your young that sit there again it comes back to the point if you are spread gyle if you have some fragile issues basically if you have Underlying Health conditions even though you are young it could have a dramatic impact so thats why you also see some younger patients in the intensive care units and thats why the authorities are stressing that everyone has to do the pot it wanted to limit the spread so even if youre younger you need to help such that the older members of society dont get the infection into what further measures are being taken in italy to curb the spread. Well what we do know now is that the next week or so is a crucial one and thats because its hes nowhere near its peak in terms of the number of inspections and therefore the authorities have clamped down even further right now dont conflict open hygiene you to conduct any sporting activity and exercise at all close to home food stores close to train stations will all be shut and no one is allowed to groove to be a 2nd if you like each region is also putting in place specific measures here in broome for example there will be more controls on the street as well as road blocks to ensure that people are not moving about without any valid reason up north in the long beach and the president of the region asked for military on the streets got 114 personnel in the city of milan he says thats not enough he needs more measures put in place to prevent people from going outside and then the till and theyre saying you cant even walk your dog beyond 200 meters from your residence so really all these measures to ensure that people stay at home because as i mention this next week or so is crucial as we hope its only he heads towards its peak it all depends on the projections and the trends that the scientists are looking at the hit in the Civil Protection services say could be anything between next week or the week after same and got there reporting for us from rime thank you.

So its saturday morning and its raining today so the chances of people wanting to actually go outside arent as high as they were in the last few days when the sun was out and it was really warm and a lot of people were gathering in the parts for example now today the police are out in the streets at random checking if people who are also out have a valid reason to be outside for example Grocery Shopping or going to the doctor also you are allowed to be outside and go for a walk for example but if you do that you have to be either by yourself or with your immediate family so people are at the moment there and theyre heeding those calls and i cant really see a lot of people have seen a lot of people outside except for maybe a supermarket but again its raining so its quite cold so well have to see what happens once the weather gets better again you know you mentioned you know some Police Checks going on there what are some of the measures that authorities are going to take to try and enforce keep this ban enforced. Well if they do catch you without a valid reason then they said theyre going to impose hefty fines not well see. How that goes down in the past few days when measures werent as severe people were the police were outside as well talking to people trying to convince them to not congregate in groups for example with more or less success and people here got more and more irritated with. Those few people asked to say who or who gathered in parts for example. In the city or on the riverbank and then they had a lot more people were calling for these measures to be enforced more strictly and to be put in place because they were seeing that those appeals before just werent working well again not what king how are people reacting to base. Well there are a lot more i would say a lot more disciplined now i think the severity of the situation is slowly sinking in and people are understanding that they need that their cooperation is needed and if you go to a supermarket for example much more than a week ago i would say people are now more disciplined theyre keeping their distance when theyre outside when theyre out hopping so i think people are more and more understanding that that they need to do their part as well as and how patient munich thanks very much.
