In the intensive care unit has no bad tonight medical staff are struggling to cope. These are all so. Its not me. We are here. They are all me we are all for a. If you are worth and. Here or there war because we are a. Here for the patients. The battle against the spread of the coronavirus is not just in hospitals but on the streets of autonomy in times and Cities Police have been making sure that fresh draconian measures introduced on saturday to further limit peoples movements are enforced those identified are stopped and asked to prove why theyre not at home. Despite their efforts the number of dead keeps rising at a staggering rate military vehicles have for another day been transporting coffins for christmas near the bottom infected city of bergen are images that italians fear will be repeated time and again in the coming days and weeks. Fears are growing in hong kong of a 2nd wave of corona virus the territory has been successful in containing the 1st outbreak but new cases have spiked in recent days on friday the territory reported a record jump in corona virus cases as thousands returned home from overseas or thora t. F. C. The influx of people could lead to a Community Outbreak and paralyzed the citys medical system hong kong now has more than 270 confirmed cases. For more im joined by dr alfred wong a cardiologist in hong kong as saying yeah i doctor one thank you for joining me a Senior Health official in hong kong has described the new cases as scary how bad do you think things are likely to get there. Well. I mean we have survived the 1st wave of influx of patients. The 1st plus wave of patients came from Mainland China and we have been quite successful in containing that wakes we have the number of patients all around. 100. But but in the last. Couple of days we huge waves of. Students and expired coming back from europe and america and many of the. People in fact that with this corona virus and we have seen a search of patients in town and we have just. Passed a number of 270 so so yeah it is scary. But we have been doing the good things we have been doing the right thing we have been bearing mouse everyone almost everyone walking in the streets in hong kong are wearing miles people have been very vigilant about their hand hygiene and you could see people staying away from each other i mean painting so shows that since and i think people who try that bastard do the same thing but this wave of infection is even bigger than the last one so there is no telling whether we will survive this 2nd with people taking precautions as you just mentioned there what other measures do you think need to be taken to stop the virus. I think everyone is talking about hand hygiene that is of course. One of the most important thing and secondly the practice here in hong kong is what we called universal masking is quite different from what you guys have been doing in europe or in america. We have been wearing mask no matter we feel. Unwell or not. Because the thing about this virus is that it has a rather long incubation period and the manifestation of being infected by this virus is of a very big by riot meaning that you can have almost d no symptoms at all so there is no telling whether you have already contracted the virus or not so it is enormously sorry to interrupt you but theres a lot of conjecture about whether or not the mosque wearing is effective in your opinion is it effective it is it is if you look at the experience and in hong kong or in taiwan or in macau one of the common things that we have done is universal masking this by their close proximity of hong kong and taiwan with Mainland China we have been having a very small number of cases so far so i think this is one of the proof. That the universe of masking is useful is helpful. The only thing i can think of is that whether you have enough mask in your country if you dont then it is off course russian or if you research those resources to Health Care Workers but the thing is if you do a hot enough mars that universal masking of course is helpful dr alfred long in hong kong thanks so much for your insights. India has launched in a one day nationwide curfew in an attempt to limit the spread of the virus the government is calling on indias more than 1000000000 inhabitants to adhere to the selfimposed restriction ahead of the temporary curfew special Train Services were often they thing many urban workers to head into the Villages Health experts say india is saying a similar rate in the spread of the virus to other countries that went on to report exponential increases. But for more on this lets cross to delhi where data vision the mission just file is following the story these restrictions are voluntary so far are people listening and staying indoors but why.

M. Says the funds dean johnson has lots of one in hockey but to continue wife meeting themselves but also making sure that theyve not spent such an Event Commission or do you think then that this is a 1st step and that a compulsory or extended lockdown is coming. Well there are definitely you know muslims around to back up this is something that should be expected i personally know the Prime Minister encouraged not backed by but have been going out and stocking up for weeks to come that im not so most my head and i have there is some measure of not all that the impulse difference whether they are shutting down businesses restaurants shops and only asking for essential services to stay or the diners to have a short sessions i was left rules you stores will remain open that they should not feel the need to stock up but there is a good chance that the lockdown we see in parts across different states in india is imposed in an admission by fashion specially as we see an exponential rate.
