Im christine want to welcome to the Program Russia has begun easing its walk down despite a surge in corona virus infections the country now has over 230000 cases facing it behind only the United States and today the kremlins chief spokesman was hospitalized with close at 90 despite the outbreak president Vladimir Putin is pushing forward with a plan to roll back restrictions across the country but hard hit moscow has introduced new rules people have to wait clubs and mosques and supermarkets as well as in taxis and pepper a Public Transportation use every show would reports. Rob no entry without gloves and a mask the employees here tell people. The many. Market in the center of moscow is sticking to the citys new rules despite a huge drop in profits due to lockdown measures the store can now only let people wearing protective gear shop. We all know that these are precautionary measures but people are unhappy about them and its hard to find gloves and masks at the pharmacy at the moment otherwise we would give them out to people so that they could buy things at our store restaurants and nonessential Stores Remain closed in the capital but construction work has now we started the words have said that workers arent at risk of infecting the public. On monday president Vladimir Putin announced an official end to the socalled nonworking period in russia allowing a gradual easing of the lockdown across the country. Based on an analysis of the situation and on the opinion of the chief medical officer as the heads of each individual region will decide what restrictive and preventative measures should be in place and on how i didnt want order they can be gradually eased maintained in the signature isa continued. Moscow has been the hardest hit by the coronavirus over half of russias cases are in the capital but the lockdown is also a huge blow to russias economy and that is the main worry for many people now. Know you have the most and i dont think its too early to come out of lockdown most people dont have any savings and people need something to live on a way to feed their family and pay their rent but i chickened out not so you think the restrictions should be in place for 3 years why not make it 5 there just messing people around. There could look around that if you put it out on the streets anywhere no matter what restrictions that. Political analysts argue that the kremlins decision to ease restrictions is politically motivated and surveys show trust in blood in your putin has fallen to new lows along the main reason for these changes is that russia doesnt want to fall behind the west much and many European Countries have already started coming out of corn team theyve been successful in their battle against the pandemic. Things are going back to normal there knows that if he falls behind he will lose out when it comes to Public Opinion in russia. Meanwhile offshore eightys in the capital have been frantically working to expand the number of beds for covert 1000 patients turning buildings like this Exhibition Center into temporary hospitals after all thousands of new cases are still being reported in russia every day. Emily who silence the reporter you just joins me now from a studio in moscow i am late so russia now has the vault 2nd highest number of corona virus infections but its death rate remains relatively low why could that 8. So the high number of cases i think is partially to do with the fact that the russian authorities have really stepped up testing in the past few weeks parents they have carried out nearly 6000000 tests so far but yes the number of deaths is comparatively low and recent media reports have pointed out that there may be a discrepancy in the number of reported and the number of real deaths they point out that there has been a rise above around 20 percent in the death rate recorded in april but meanwhile that would be almost 12000. 00 cases if thats true but meanwhile the number of reported coronavirus cases this is in moscow is much much lower so there is some suspicion that there could be a discrepancy there but its not clear at the moment thats not confirmed how watery people in russia about the coronavirus. Well i would say judging by the situation in moscow people arent very worried despite the fact that the capital has been the hardest hit by the coronavirus people in the last few days which were holidays here in russia have been out on the streets its been sunny there really were a lot of people out on the streets and it seems to me that people here are more worried about the Economic Situation than about the coronavirus itself thats at least what people tell you here real wages after all in russia had been falling for years even before the pandemic now the Global Oil Price has taken a huge hit which of course affects the economy in russia significantly and people say that yes the government is rolling out support measures for families for businesses but they say that its simply not enough and that much of that support really just isnt reaching them. Ok so if that really does go on to feel a growth in public frustration how much a 5th rate would that pose to president bush. Well trust implied in your putin is lower than it has been for over 10 years usually the trend that we see is that the russian government kind of takes a hit in Approval Ratings when people are upset or dissatisfied but not putin himself but that seems to be changing now the economic dissatisfaction is a huge factor and a sociologist i spoke to recently was saying that if economic kind of measures from the government arent stepped up and that support isnt there then the kremlin could have protests on its hands when this lockdown really is left it right there in the show and reporting for us in moscow thank you the coronavirus pandemic has all the work of nurses into sharp focus as they struggle to care for patients suffering from cope at 19 and today on International Nurses day nurses around the world are speaking alts to demand basic protection as they risk their lives to do their job now dismissed as day also marks the 200th anniversary of the birth of the pioneer of what an interesting Florence Nightingale.
