Know which. A deathly hosh has descended on the city with its world famous cannot see everything is closed for the foreseeable future. The tourists have left and venice is resident saw heeding the Strict Lockdown imposed on italy since march and. Most of the time cameraman marco polo and i find ourselves completely alone in the citys maze of alleyways. Normally the crowds here make it difficult to cross the rio bridge now i stand alone by the ground can i. The citys main thoroughfare. We can tell from the packaging that these are boxes of medicines that are being unloaded here the supply chain for the pharmacies appears to be working they are still open. The delivery workers letters filmed them but they dont want to be interviewed so we move on. The few others we come across give us a wide berth somehow in this difficult situation it doesnt seem appropriate to confront them with a camera and a microphone. What were experiencing is extraordinary fascinating but a bit frightening at the same time. Weve obtained special permits from the man and completed the self declaration forms required of all italians when they travel otherwise we wouldnt be allowed to be here or took. Luckily our encounter with a caribbean yet a passes off without incident were filming it secretly with a cell phone. Youre a film permit yes weve got approval from the mass office. Here the documents the press office has also been informed. Thats yourself declaration form. Yes. Ok then you can carry on. As it is at the end. Close to the reality bridge is the citys fish market normally its packed with vendors now there are just a few many fish mongers wonder how theyre going to survive economically sales have collapsed. The few customers who do come here by 2 full 3 fish if that the fish centers around them money from the restaurants and hotels that buy in bulk but they are all closed my usual church about it i havent experienced anything like it in the last 35 years that ive worked here that will say that we have never been hit so hard not by the floods or other catastrophes for them up an awful jump over the measure that weve the nations are tough it was a while. But we have never seen anything like this cycle may just you know that you just dont know how to react and how to stay healthy and sort. He thought the whole of it is that many people have lost their jobs their home without work these are difficult times. We had for bag a mo in the region of lombardy 230 kilometers west of venice an epicenter of the corona virus in europe. We want to know why kovac 19 has infected and killed so many people in number. For us to its hazardous to enter this current in the area we decide not to take any risks we have disinfectant masks and gloves at the ready. At the time we filmed in mid to late march close to 10000 people had already been admitted for hospital treatment in the province of lombardy. By the 1st week of april the number of reported cases in the region would reach nearly 55000. With its population of 120000 people the city of baghdad now her along with its outlying areas is lumbered is most important commercial center ottoman land. Journey takes us to the Historic Center of bag amount which is perched on a hill called outta here to most of the businesses and stores are closed. But im sure. The aliza deserted as they were in venice there are just a few people standing a safe distance away from one another waiting patiently outside the pharmacy. In the Piazza Vecchia the square at the heart of the old town we meet much element now day who runs the cafe down tasa. Cafe days. Back to 1476. 00 and the any time that it has had to close for such long periods was during wartime that much i know is an optimist he says now the main thing is to be there for one another and pull together. We will open the cafe as soon as everything is over here and the entire family will do their bit including him. If youre not yet open that often step by step will begin again. I hope very much that everyone will be buoyed by this optimism including the government and. Theyve really done Everything Possible and are doing a pretty good job Prime Minister contact and all the others its an exceptional situation very very difficult you know you see all. That. Marcelo asks whether weve already had a coffee as everywhere is closed including the Motorway Service stations we classically accept his invitation. Just off the answer vecchia is the terminal for the funny kill around the way that runs between bag and bag. The newspaper kiosk inside is open. Theyre going to do can i see the daily newspaper please here you are other many a bitch or is. Yes unfortunately were living with a serious threat. And are you afraid. Yes why theres so many deaths in bank in particular the logic of that there is no logical official explanation. Perhaps it has to do with the fact that baird now is a hub for the region close to the alps and is connected to milan. As well and then you add 1. 00 and 2. 00 together you end up caught in this vicious circle. All. Of it no no look again there are more pages. From norway. Were. All. Huge. I dont think crazy. It could be. Property but its a battlefield. And the only. Thing that is. In it. On the northeastern outskirts of baghdad lies the village of caste negro. Theres a home for retirees here. We set off to find out how the situation is developing in such cannot see. The good. From. The health and caste system in lombardy one of italys richest regions as well in International Comparison and. Is waiting in the courtyard were not allowed to film the facility either inside or on the outside. The situation for residents and carers is very grave. I think. You still have some time here where this is like a war if you stay at home all of you and no one should be out and about in particular the elderly are a great risk there have been many many deaths but the figures are much higher than is generally known you still have a few days reprieve but i repeat stay at home ok the situation here is very very serious. I dont want to spread panic but please get the old people into isolation avoid any contact because for them the situation is much worse than it seemed a few feni last year its like being at war if you go look at him he doesnt know where the. Back in bag among the City Hospital is out of bounds in front of the building there are huge additional oxygen tanks the hospitals own facility can no longer supply anywhere near enough oxygen to run the many ventilators needed for the coronavirus patients. So this is its here so this is the popular sign giovanni hospital named for pope john the 23rd pops on is that one of the biggest hospitals and really the center of the corona infections you could almost say europes coronavirus hotspot. And. When also now to film in the hospital. We meet the director of the pediatric departments who learns oh don t. Got in the foyer. We conduct the interview outside like the rest of the staff dr don tiger has been working almost round the clock for weeks now and. Many doctors and nurses have contracted the virus and are unable to walk patients in isolation wards are also separated from their loved ones really but family jewels in a book that assisted for the devout its an extremely difficult situation. Its. Not being able to be with their loved ones in their final hours and not being able to have a funeral with a priest is a very painful experience that theyre there but fuck outta. Bed miserable because a virus hits old people the hardest the head pediatrician says thats why the situation in can homes is particularly precarious. See. That you saw him unfortunately there are a lot of dead here and not just here in the hospital but also elsewhere there are many elderly People Living in their own homes in the villages around. Or in the valleys in the outlying foothills with a lot of them are dying at the moment and were convinced that they are dying from coronavirus. But because theyre not being taken to the hospital there is no diagnosis. According to statistics in italy the vast majority of deaths from covert 19 caring people over the age of 60 most of them had one all several preexisting conditions. One good piece of news about the virus says the doctor is that children are extremely unlikely to be severely affected. But. Children are a case in particular. They can get infected but the illness isnt very serious and. Thats definitely good news for the families with small children. But you shouldnt forget one important aspect. The children who have been infected pass on the infection. If its its crucial to realize that. You can affect adults without showing any sign of symptoms yourself. But. Its an almost 3 hour drive from bag a motorboat santa has all the hotels a shot we calmed down. One advantage of the lockdown is that the roads are largely clear and we made Good Progress even around busy hubs like the rona where there are usually kilometer long traffic jams. In bold santa the capital of the largely german speaking province of alberta our digital pick ups with loudspeakers are urging people to stay inside for health reasons. A lot is being done here to stop the spread of the virus. Overnight the roads pavements and down stops are being cleaned and decontaminated with water and hydrogen peroxide. Think feel a mention again i think it has some effect a lot of people walk on the streets a few spit their animals running around illnesses can get passed on like that. We believe that we have to reach 0 Inflection Point if we want to rule out the chance that the road the ground is a source of infection. The cleaning liquid is said to be harmless to the environment. We also asked whether this is really meant to just reassure the citys residents a symbolic act. Noneffective now its not just about the psychological effect that lets be clear on this its citizens still have to stick to all the regulations and they should think of the streets are clean now and the problem with the virus is solved now what about so no way that it just makes a small contribution there nothing more but the process and people you put for free thats it if you get out there we. Next day at home with a camera man marco to hear from the doctor a number that his 3 sons a not at acute risk from the virus is reassuring. The boys are working on exercises that their school has sent by email. Some work can also be done on the computer together with mothers sylvia. Floor plan will. Try. It out. Since the lockdown was imposed sylvia has spent most of her time at home with the boys as a Software Programmer she also has to work from home recently the Italian Government tightened up the long town banning walks outside anyone violating those rules faces a fine of 2000 euros and criminal charges. From time to time the pono family sit outside the house at the entrance to their small garden just for a change of scene. So how can i be he one how can i. Get home im not scared and all but i would be if i were in the city well i hold my breath when people walk past and then breathe out when theyve passed by us. Im fed up with this virus i want to go back to kindergarden. Of. Every day without fail the family sit down together to watch the evening news on italian t. V. The statistics in. Also paint a worrying picture. In the next 2 weeks the family will learn that the number infected has more than doubled with more than 4 times the number of deaths. The Economic Situation is also dramatic some 7600 businesses have been forced to close in the northern italian province. Invitation or shortly before the brand a pass one company has been able to avoid having to put their employees on reduced hours or give them notice pay to tranq founder and his team came up with a new business idea overnight the 20 strong team is now constructing protective shields from plexiglas and metal. As these products are intended to protect people from the new coronavirus hygene is being taken very seriously at 1st it wasnt clear whether the product would sell. If the well were not giving up were making these protective panels and going from door to door with them many banks and stores have snatched them up. Enough that weve seen that many people need them. Which production from one day to the next on the table weve posted our product on social media and seen that there is a demand on the home of. This pulse and that. In the meantime the production hole has been almost totally refitted with new machines and materials. Its a mammoth task and a real achievement. Nobody has announced that of course thats a big change. And we are really pushing the up. Hotness of a good night but we are a great team. We are sticking to the rules we have protective suits and i hope that this crisis will be over at some point you can go along and if you have to and if all the others out there stick together like we have. Then they will also survive this crisis well they they set up a stair. There are enough orders to keep the company busy for the next few weeks and the jobs here are secure for the time being at least. Thats what about it rick it was one 3rd luck but it would be one 3rd team effort and one 3rd the absolute will deserve i have their weapons good so thats what motivated us thats what made the difference for 5 days ago the business was completely different a classic small blue collar for once and all today were talking about hygiene Risk Management and theres the plan that list what people have to do and when one has to provide food the other the supply of materials each is concentrating on their role so nothing else is on the speak their corner on. The tourist resort of 2 dodo patched about the spot town of metronome is also deserted. Right next to the villages can home is general practitioner where he can slightest practice. First of all he provides us with fresh face masks and stresses just how important protective measures are for people in the healthful can sectors who work with old people. As a 1st thought when i arrive at the practice i try to put on an entire new set of clothes i change here when i get home i again change out of the clothes that i only wore for traveling between work and home i take off my shoes outside the door i try to keep to the highest standards of hygiene thats all to keep external contact down to a minimum for those at home and for my patients i conduct the house and he she. Dont to slight or takes us on a quick tour to show us the situation in a care home in toronto the Safety Measures are strict with additional restrictions of movement within the home itself. They have either have to all have is that or they have closed all the communal rooms and stopped all Group Activities we have tried to isolate each floor so if we did have someone who test positive the other floors would be in quarantine and protected their home some were now in the communal rooms but its empty. Of all of it our residents are all on the floors above us. Normally this is a happy place with people playing cards and eating coffee and cake care is organizing games. Yes this is unfortunately the sad reality that. The next day outside the main hospital in bold sano here there are also special measures in place in the control tent in front of the building everyone entering the hospital is 1st tested for the corona virus. Right by the side of that is the regions italian white cross control center the Relief Organization has set up its own task force for the transport of people infected with covert 90. Top before we go to speak to the white cross and ask the volunteers how things are with the Ambulance Services the doctors told us to put on gloves. The head of the Coronavirus Task force in both santa is louder part of an. She has been employed by the white cross for 11 years she says she has never experienced a situation like this. Unfortunately we have been picking up a lot of patients who although they can still walk and breathe on their own in the morning by evening we have to rush them to an intensive care unit. Was. In the afternoon we get a message from a doctor in baghdad he says the situation has deteriorated over the last few days this time we decided to carry out our interview by skype to avoid any possibility of infection. Like talk to don t. Go talk to lorenzo north also works in a puppet giovanni hospital in bangkok. I think the message that goes for us all for the whole of europe is all of us we doctors to need to keep our distance from our families. If everyone in europe does that then at some point this will be over. And then well have a lot of time again to spend together and to hug each other just like we did in the past. But for now we must stay at home in self isolation. Because thats the only option we have to stop the spread of the virus in europe. Optimism and solidarity whats important now even if an end to the crises is not in sight. While the curve of new infections appears to be flattening out its still unclear when the country will be able to return to normality. Is that the when i 1st saw the photo in social media i thought it was a fake but its true the water is a lot clearer than usual and you dont hear a sound either its almost eerie now and then you hear a child crying but nothing apart from that im believable.
