Hello from the beaches of spain to the streets of melbourne corona virus cases are surging on almost every continent the global death toll is racing toward 650000 with more than a 3rd of fatalities in just 2 countries the United States and brazil they and india account for nearly half of all confirmed infections in the world and the virus is also spreading faster its taken just 4 days for the global number of cases from to jump from 15 to 16000000 over the past week 37 countries have reported record spikes in daily infections including nations once praised for taming their outbreaks like australia and israel here in europe one report suggests spains actual death toll may be 60 percent higher because suspected cases were never included in its total of 28432. 00 victims but spain insists it is safe despite a new spike in cases prompting the u. K. To abrupt abruptly reimpose a 2 week quarantine on travelers returning from their. Reports. Londons Gatwick Airport and plenty of people flying off on holiday but for those traveling to spain its a confusing time face with 2 weeks in quarantine on their return this teacher and her husband decided to cancel their trip to the countries south where we were going there is no outbreak so why dont some why they have to look at regional lockdowns like madrid and barcelona like why not you know shut those down and then leave the tourist a bit open and thats a question being asked by some travelers heading to london from madrid i think it so its pretty bad because its just come all of a sudden its not given people much time to prepare. For everyone is now panicking and i also think it ruins cons for everybody since the number of cases here in the span of a rise and i think its sensible measure. And i was expecting it to be honest spain recorded more than 100 new covered cases on friday and major cities including barcelona have seen a surge in infections with Health Officials warning a 2nd wave could be imminent the British Government says it had to act quickly to avoid reinfection and a possible lockdown but the message from spain is the country is safer tourists like in any other european country we are seeing outbreaks the outbreaks in spain are perfectly controlled we have 3 that are the most important outbreaks at the moment in barcelona in larry that. All of them are perfectly traced. Europes biggest travel company to you has counseled all holidays in mainland spain for 2 weeks but its still flying people to Spains Canary islands and the bali eric islands is question the need for people returning from those destinations to self isolate one aljazeera staff member who just travel to minorca says people there was surprised we were quite distracted when we heard the news the numbers here are very low theyve implemented a very Strict Lockdown here and then it broke out very very strict wanted people have not been able to leave their houses and theyve done really well it keeping the numbers down here in minorca the real damage is likely to be to peoples confidence in travelling meaning a setback to the Aviation Industry and to spains Tourism Sector that accounts for 12 percent of the national economy. Here in britain the Opposition Labor Party is calling for clarity on what support people going into quarantine will get but what many people are asking themselves is whether this kind of risk will be part of foreign travel for the foreseeable future nadeem barber al jazeera in southern england or coronavirus cases across latin america have passed 4300000 following a surge of infections in brazil mexico peru colombia and argentina it makes latin america the most affected region by the pandemic with almost 27 percent of worldwide infections and Health Experts say several nations almost certainly under report infections and. Lets now get more on the situation over in the u. S. Castor is joining us from maryland so what is the situation like there. Well the rain here in the United States number infections approaching 4200000 just a little bit less than the entire latin american region as you were just saying and the hot spots in the u. S. Are shifting of course it was new york but now it is the state of florida that has surpassed new york as far as the number of total infections and the total number per day of new infections is topping 10000 a day in florida and the rate of increase is also on the rise certainly very alarming figures for public Health Officials and for the people who live in florida many are looking at the governor there rick to santas a republican and wondering why it is that he still has not issued orders to wear masks in public and why hes still pushing schools to reopen in august many critics accusing governor to santas of prioritising favor with President Trump who he professes to admire rather than protecting the people of his state were seeing also similarly high numbers in the state of texas where the governor there greg abbott also a republican initially had to reopen the state only to backtrack in the latest weeks after seeing the beginning of these numbers to resurge the question is whether that was too little too late as were seeing new spikes of infections and deaths in texas as well particularly in the southern border region next to mexico with hospitals there begging for more resources the military stepping in to bring help and refrigerated morgue trucks parked behind those hospitals in a time when they really could not ask for worse we also have a hurricane hurricane hanna now bearing down on that part of the United States of haiti we also working on yet another stimulus package will be able to meet the real deadline.
