This is the high season for tourism and many working in the sector are already feeling that drastic impact of the pandemic in 2000 youd be able to keep in all the years that i have been here at this is catastrophic things were good for a time over the past weeks but not now even 2 weeks ago you saw more people out but not now there is nothing. All over the country towns and cities are once again closing up after a much awaited easing of restrictions the last couple proper track and trace system is prompting an increase in infections around the country it was hoped that the summer would deliver a pause in the pandemic but the contagious nature of the corona virus seems to once again trump optimism of a respite any time soon sunny diagonal.

Well i watched an interview with dr anthony found she someone who is seen is very much the voice of reason in all of this and he basically said that economies and states opened up too soon this is not a 2nd wave this is still the 1st wave of this pandemic and its really hammering many states in fact 18 states are reported the highest numbers ever since this pandemic started and as he said florida is bad texas also and theres a hurricane heading towards the south coast of texas as we speak california arizona all going through these horrible numbers in fact here in florida were hitting about 2 weeks now if not at least 10000 new cases every single day that peaked on july the 12th with almost 15000 new cases now if we state take this one state as an example and look at how the authorities are tackling it its very much a different approach depending where you are in the state weve got a governor here on to scientists who point blank will not talk about read closing businesses is pushing much like donald trump to get children back into school and yet here in miami dade which is the worst affected county in the state of florida the mayor of miami has mandated mask wearing hes put a curfew back in place so i think many people here looking for some kind of joined up thinking in tackling this pandemic looking for some leadership from people like Rhonda Santas in the face of these horrendous figures when our approaching almost 6000 deaths in this state and of course the United States hit more than 4000000 cases in total in the last couple of days all right andy thank you for that update from miami. Nearly 49000. 00 new coronavirus cases have been reported in india pushing the total there to more than 1300000. 00 this is the 3rd day in a row that new infections have been above the 45000 mark the chief minister of mines or protest state is the latest high profile figure to test positive hes been taken to hospital the government has confirmed that 3331300 deaths at least half of indias population is under some form of lock down with the country reporting the worlds 3rd highest infection total brazils president says hes now tested negative for corona virus after spending weeks in court with covert 19 j are both so narrow posted this photo on twitter showing him with a box of the antimalarial drug hydrox a cork when hes followed the us president s in telling its use although it hasnt proved effective in studies also now as regularly downplayed the severity of the outbreak but his country has now reported more than 85000 coronavirus debts and more than 2000000 cases its the 2nd worst hits in the nation nation in the world for other. Lets speak to our listener and patsy about this hes joining us from bogota so what more have we heard from the brazilian president. Well there in not much really he did indeed announce that he tested negative sorry in twitter earlier on saturday and then went on a motorcycle rides throughout the capital brasilia without wearing a face mask which remains mandatory in the brazilian capital and he did put it on though to enter a store where he stopped and then while he was greeting his supporters the only thing we know is that he continues to promote and tell you my larry drug and that the government has also bought a bit big quantities of it and its now promoting is used in the Public Hospitals all this despite the fact that there is no Scientific Evidence that this drug is indeed the effective now the other thing that we can expect is a return to the dynamics that were happening before he actually tested positive given the fact that he is now negative in that he has had mild symptoms so we can expect them to continue to push to reopen the economy in brazil the spy you are if it could number in numbers in the country brazil is the 2nd worst affected country anywhere in the world after the United States and what about the situation where you are in colombia and elsewhere in latin america. Yes a number of countries have seen regular record numbers again this last week here in cologne be able to use these believe were going through the worst face of the pandemic about were still weeks away from reaching a peak that could happen at some point around me its all good but its clear given the fact that the numbers have been going up slowly at least at the beginning here in colombia so were probably expecting another month of numbers going up in our return to lock downs or other measures that cities have been putting in place to try and control the new increase in numbers that is the case here in the capital of bogota were 5000000 of the 8000000 citizens of this city are under a Strict Lockdown again also a number of Central American countries have seen record numbers of cases and now the mayor of mexico city the capital of mexico says she expects another increasing cases this week given the fact that theyve seen the number of hospitality sation going up again there as well right on a somber thank you for that update from bogota.
