We have been behind this virus from day one we have been in a reactive posture from day one the virus makes another move and then we respond no you dont wane on difference you went on our friends you have to get ahead of this it dissipate whats going to happen. Since new york residents were told to stay home almost a week ago the citys resembled a ghost town but new infections and deaths keep surging. The hope now that mondays arrival of the u. S. Navy ship will give new york struggling Health System a fighting chance in the battle against kovac 19 are lets take a look now at some of the latest developments in the 20 virus pandemic worldwide now more than 30000 people have died from the virus the global number of infections is now over 660000 italys death toll from coven 1000 climbing past 10000 with 889 new reported deaths the 2nd highest daily tally there new zealand reporting its 1st death from the virus that has just over 500 cases of the virus and last wednesday New Zealanders began a strict 4 week lockdown. With more than a 1000 infections south africa is the worst hit nation on the african continent the country has just begun a 3 Week National lockdown and local authorities are taking a hard line in forcing it were no modern up the army is out on the streets here in one of johannesburgs poor neighborhoods its trying to enforce what seems difficult for many staying at home. For the lead waba family lockdown means 6 people sharing 12 square meters that normally only happens at night when they sleep and they have no Running Water they have to collect it themselves from a tap a kilometer away. Social distancing doesnt really work here but its badly needed millions suffer from tuberculosis and aids and that particular risk as night. We have no choice we have to come to this place to get water and to go to the toilet. The main roads are almost empty this is one of the strictest lockdowns in the world only those in essential services such as hospitals are allowed to go to work. Food shopping is allowed but the queues are often long and few here keep their distance. I know that i cant go to work and that worries me i dont know if my employer will still need me after the lockdown is over.

Lets bring in correspondent adrian creations in cape town adrian this is day 3 of a 21 day long down already were seeing soldiers in the streets i mean just just walk us through the challenges that south africa will be facing to get people to follow these sorts of Public Health measures. Of course its a very challenging time for South Africans the measures extremely strict youre not allowed to walk another allowed to go out for a jog and you cant even walk your dog so this is of course something people 1st have to get used to this people who are still allowed to go out those ones who work in essential Services Supermarket workers for example people working in hospitals and you can see a little bit of movement behind me on the street at the moment this is because theres 2 time windows during the day where these people are allowed to go to work and they often however rely on public transport and i talked to some yesterday and they told me well it is really difficult for them because not many many buses operate anymore and those that operate are totally overcrowded which is of course a problem if youre actually trying to make distance between people and try to stop the spread of the virus as we saw in that report i mean its most difficult in the poorest areas i mean some people dont have Running Water just talk about the risks that people face. Cape town and also in south africa this is of course the major challenge in the township where millions of South Africans are living under very difficult conditions often in crowded spaces in shacks and the big question is how long can they release day how long are they going to be patient right now the lock down is scheduled to last 3 weeks but the hope of experts here is that after 2 weeks we will see a decrease in the new infections but this is not guaranteed we have no idea if this will really work out and theres some speculation already if the curfew and the lockdown might be even extended and then people of course fearing how will people there react how patient can they be in this very trying times remember many of them dont have a fixed salary they have to go out to so why if so this is the big question here how is that going to continue how is that going to unfold our idea of use age increase reporting for us in cape town thank you very much. Well here in berlin chancellor Angela Merkel is asking german citizens to stay patient and continue following social distancing measures nearly 400 people have died from the disease in germany so far more than 50000 confirmed infections here medical thanked the vast majority of citizens for changing their daily behavior to minimize contact the situation in germany is currently far less serious than it is and italy are in spain but the Chancellors Office confirmed that restrictions will not be reconsidered even before april 20th those include the closure of nonessential shops and a ban on more than 2 people meeting in public.

Bush would sometimes that and to get used to it its becoming a routine you know im at home and im working from home so its pretty quiet for me. But not all french like it quiet across the country people are finding new ways of coping with being cooped up at home. This cello player for example didnt like to social media to show off his talents he simply stepped out onto the balcony. The french appear to be complying with the lockdown so far but with the confinement measures set to last to at least the 15th of april possibly longer who knows how long that public support will last.
