A glimpse of war going on a holiday in some parts of europe will look like this summer barriers separating sun loungers on the greek island of santorini not the beach experience the most holiday makers a used to but one that complies with new social distancing rules we hope these barriers wont be the future for beaches we dont want this but if this is necessary and if People Safety depends on this sort of device then so be it we just want to work we want to get going in march borders in the European Union were shot and nearly all travel stopped because the coronavirus pandemic a huge blow to the Tourism Industry one of the blocks main economic sectors as some countries begin to ease their lock downs the European Commission has presented a rescue plan for the Tourism Industry its recommending foul choose instead of refunds for Council Travel sanitary measures for hospitality and transport services and the reopening of some borders of course this is not going to be a normal summer not for us. But when we all Work Together and we all do our part in the ways the commission is setting out today then we dont have to face a summer shock at home or a completely lost summer for the european tourists industry some countries say that they are already considering lifting some travel restrictions germany says that it wants to reopen its border with france switzerland and austria and britain and france say that they wont impose quarantine for now on people traveling between their 2 countries paris is one of the worlds most visited cities the lockdown has been eased but more humans Museums Hotels and restaurants remain closed the french government has advised people to holiday in france this year after 2 months at home some people cant wait to travel. Health risk and reward here to be able to travel abroad and outside france will be a valid i have a holiday home in spain and want to go but for now there are restrictions but i want to go we cant stop living more than 6000000. 00 tourism jobs in need could be lost unless the industry is revived the European Commission says the challenge is to encourage the sectors recovery but prevent a resurgence of corona virus cases or risk is spreading even further across the block we talked about how just 0 paris green mimico is the general director of the Paris Visitors Bureau she is joining us on skype from paris thank you very much indeed for being with us just give us some indication of how much of the tourism has been affected in paris by the coronavirus. Thank you for inviting me and thats a pleasure but of course he has a huge impact of the Tourism Industry actually in paris because you dont have any traits that judy. Used to that come of that 40000000 tourists and that was a figure of it too not serious so of course when you dont have an interest in the streets of paris this is very different than that he had a sense of this is very different so professionals are we separating actory so that closed and so that. Just full. Of course. For the next months and probably for next year all of. The principle how we can ensure to help all these professionals to get out of these crises to be sure to be there when he comes back can you give us some idea of how many people may have lost their jobs who are connected with the Tourism Industry and whether or not you think that theyre likely to get their jobs back once the spread of the virus has been slowed. So i think industry actually represents that kind of the scent of employment in ferris region so i would say i treat the main goal of the government with the measures that the truth is really to help the professionals to keep the job the jobs and protect all of the employees and so im not sure we have already some degree the people who have no some jobs but we sure are there are not working actually there are just waiting for that job that that open even though yours help the professionals to keep the people. Covering the charges and everything and still hopefully be most of them have their jobs back the only things really to ensure how how bad how long it will be and probably what will be exactly the good after the crisis because when you think it was in the open that at 100 percent effect or is so much of a professional that actually on. Maybe 30 percent if you keep to the cent before the end of the year if i t. T. So that means the same but the jobs. Before the European Commission is trying to push. Countries to open their borders in order to allow more people to be able to travel between countries i can understand that from your point of view in paris then the local tourists were being very welcome but of course paris is very popular with tourists from the far eastern from the United States and other parts of the world how concerned are you that they are not going to be coming to paris. So of course weather very concerned with that because you see the next few months very focused on the local activity even. Probably more local like by region than people from the. Past Even National and we dont know yet. Everything every region of the summer so we dont know yet were waiting for the measures to announce some that and of course europe European Countries will be the 1st one to reopen after whats so were looking for having that some troops from europe probably after september. And its also and later of course for the far eastern United States on the everything when thats what were not looking for anything before and of the quality but of course its a concern but its a worldwide situation so any way we can do anything with that and more than happy to welcome them back as soon as all of the measures and protocol the Senate Republicans and everything safe and everyone was happy to rather than so i think we call google more much quicker than it has to be so its a step by step up to all of the worlds really appreciate your time coming there go thank you very much indeed thank you. Corona virus lockdowns been imposed on a city in northeastern china the 2nd this week new cases in jailing are raising fears of a possible new wave of infections because when i hear reports from beijing. While the rest of china returns to Something Like normality a lockdown has been imposed on the city of g. Lane for 25000000 people have been told to stay home and public transport is at a standstill neighboring should line city was locked down on monday more than 20 infections have been identified in dillon province since the beginning of the month but experts say it isnt a 2nd wave of disease. Whenever new cases emerge the Monitoring System will detect and track the cases will curb the spread of the virus in no time in holland china is at the center of the outbreak the discovery of 6 new transmissions has spurred plans to test the entire city of 11000000 people district authorities have been told they have 10 days to complete testing the details are still being discussed testing in some areas began this week. Analysts say the plan could cost up to 254000000. 00 and requires the rapid expansion of Testing Facilities to hans Testing Capacity reached 46000. 00 people today last month the people who live there say theyre not surprised a new cost is been discovered so we know that a 2nd wave is coming anyway and theres no way we can you know prevents. The new fiction. Thats on that 00 yes you see what i mean theres no serial serial and we. Knew the Chinese Government has reported about 83000 cases nationally with more than 2600 deaths since the virus broke out in december with just a week to go until Chinas National Peoples Congress the biggest political gathering of the year the government here is on high alert the communist party wants to project an image of strength and victory over the virus and these 2 new classes threaten to compromise just that katrina aljazeera thank you. So much more ahead on the news hour including coronaviruses on every continent but well have more on the other deadly virus sweeping through latin america. Is imposing a quarantine on its capital some thiago on friday after a rapid surge in new Coronavirus Infections the 8000000 People Living in the lock down area will no longer be allowed to go outside except for unavoidable adams or for more lets cross live to our latin america editor this year a new man whos in santiago alysia give us some more details about whats been happening. Yes the the number of infections has just been going up and up and up and finally the government did what many people had been begging it to do now for the past few weeks and that is to declare a total lockdown here in the capital santiago just so you get an idea in the last 2 weeks the number of infected case of infected people went up 500 percent and and that means that of course the hospitals are now practically in full running at near capacity the government says that it will bring be bringing in more ventilators tomorrow there are only about 550. 00 Still Available for patients but the thing the situation is looking quite dire not just in the capital but in other parts of the country as well another of the announcements that was made a short while ago by the Health Minister is that anyone over the age of 75 will be quarantined indefinitely they must stay at home he says that that is because they are the most vulnerable sector of the population and would also its the highest death rate so far chile does have a fairly low death rate 300. 00 and nearly 350. 00 people as of now but if the situation continues to deteriorate as i just mentioned that death rate could go up much much faster this year youve mentioned before that people had been calling for this to happen but why is it taking the government so long to get to this stage. Thats the 100000000. 00 question here according to the Health Minister he was asked that again today and he said well there isnt time to do it and theres a time not to do it and this is the time to do it its a very hard decision because it means a lot of people will not be able to work they will not be able to being quarantined in very small houses and this is going of course hit the poorest sector of the population the heart is the these that are the people that have not been quarantined yet but many say that this was the reason why the numbers just got completely out of hand they went up to the highest number overnight 2660 confirmed infections thats a 1000 more than yesterday that the reason for that is because the government had simply refused to impose a quarantine preventative lee and not kind of as a reaction to the spreading of the disease how this is all going to end up at the end it may cost the Health Minister his head depending on how all this plays out this isnt human in a sense you are going thank you very much indeed well tuesday was mexicos deadliest day so far from covert 19 with more than 350 deaths despite this president on this month when Lopez Obrador has pledged to forge ahead with controversial plans to reopen the countrys economy lets go live to mung all of a poll in the mexico city it seems as though that the president is absolutely determined to push through the reopening of the economy. It is being seen as a as a necessary step but it will be a gradual step this is what were hearing from Health Officials and rob just to reiterate some of those numbers that you already mentioned tuesday was the deadliest day so far in mexico since the start of the outbreak with 1997 new confirmed cases of the coronavirus and 353 new deaths over the period of the last 24 hours thats the most in a single day this indicates that we are still here in mexico on the rise have not yet reached peak peak contagion that was expected to happen last week and now on that question of governments in latin america that may be seeking to reopen the economies a bit too soon mexico is high on that list of the government announced earlier today wednesday a new plan for a quote return to normalcy the plan basically consists of a color coordinated map of a different communities and states and mexico and which one will open when depending on that color red being the most critical demanding more self isolation to demanding. Quarantine and green being the less critical allowing for a return to normal Economic Activity now one of the biggest concerns here in mexico is over a return to normalcy as the government says when it comes to the automotive sector of the Manufacturing Sector along mexicos northern border with the United StatesMexican Companies are under a lot of pressure from the United States even though there are more cases in the u. S. Or more deaths in the United States there is a push for reopening the economy a bit faster from mexicos northern neighbor the United States where there is a concern that opening too quickly could cause a resurgence of the virus a new wave of the outbreak and thats something that mexican authorities do want to avoid but of apollo live for us in mexico city mom all thanks very much indeed.
