K. s already imposed a 2 week or untying on anyone returning from spain a move to the Spanish Government calls disproportionate. Some of the time of the court we are at this moment talking to the british authorities to try to make them reconsider a measure that in our view is unsuitable particularly if we keep the epidemiological data of the spanish territory and in particular certain tourist destinations like for example the canary in the barrick islands the violence here and dilute sea in regions which i insist have a total accumulated level of virus that is lower than whats being registered in the u. K. In epidemiological terms it is safer to be in these regions than in the u k.

They say that the situation the coronavirus situation is in in those regions is such that it is in advance of all for its citizens to go there but the point is you got to see this through the prism of whats been happening in german ministerial circles over the course of the last few days also because there has been a ratcheting up of concern regarding potential 2nd waves of coronavirus in germany brought back here so the fear goes by german citizens and german residents whove gone on holiday to certain areas that have become high risk areas and then bring it back with singly thats why yesterday we saw the Health Minister the federal Health Minister that is deciding that from next week the coronavirus testing that had been taking place in 3 airports until that point voluntarily will that will now be mandatory so youve got to view whats happening today through that prison is clearly a concern at the high level federally and also in the states of germany about the possibility of coronavirus coming back and brought back to germany by citizens whove been on holiday elsewhere in europe. Sprains Tourism Association says the u. K. Quarantine could cost the sector 11700000000. 00 in lost revenue aljazeera is most at 0 reports now from barcelona these decision has a huge impact in the Tourism Sector that represents a 12 percent of the spanish economy the situation is quite critical we see here in barcelona where we are right now the beaches are we empty bars there are no queues to to to visit like the cathedral in the middle of the of the city no cute at all there was we were talking to the people at the cathedral saying that an ordinary day you would reduce 3660. 00 people 60 visitors a year the same dates we are they will have 1000 so the situation is quite critical we know that the government is negotiation and pushing very hard especially to brand the idea that spain is a save the estimation that weve got the corner of ours under control that these are only isolated branches or as isolated clusters that are completely under control as we heard last night from Prime Minister presented in this Television Interview he insisted that spain is a safe destination and this comes up. To u. K. Join this 150. 00 countries that have imposed limitations under strict travelers coming to our country although government is aligned in this in this in this sense and saying that this being here is safer than being for example in the queue in the u. K. Young france. A lockdown is being imposed in lebanon during the upcoming. Holiday and thats expected to make like to life difficult for many doctors say that hospitals will be quickly overwhelmed if the rise in infections is managed right away aljazeera say the whole are reports now from beirut. The number of daily infections in lebanon is now into 3 digits official say the corona virus has spread across the country there reimposing restrictions less than a months after the country and its only public airport reopened the numbers may be low when compared to other countries but this is a nation of only 6000000 people including a 1000000 refugees where the Health Care System is already in crisis private hospitals have started to turn away patients they make up 85 percent of the Health Sector and they are owed 1300000000. 00 by the government. Lists the Health Sector is passing through a critical crisis that has been going on for 2 years we are crying for help the Health Sector is taking its last breath 10 days ago our hospital stopped receiving noncritical cases. Staff are also being fired the countrys leading medical facility the American University hospital laid off nearly 900 years and administrators citing what it called the disastrous state of the economy since november up to 40 percent of lebannon 9000 nurses have lost their jobs what is happening is very serious and its going to affect drastically they had them in lebanon if we dont have enough nurses there that the number of patients who are currently at the hospital will be much higher burden or us hospitals funded by the public and left underfunded and ill equipped by successive governments for 3 decades are not just at the forefront of the battle against coronavirus what we have seen is with the economic crisis more and more patients cannot afford the private sector anymore and they are heading towards the Public Sector importing equipment and medicine is becoming harder and more expensive because of the sharp devaluation of the local currency and a lack of u. S. Dollars in circulation. The surge in coronavirus cases couldnt have come at a more difficult time levanon is close to bankruptcy because of years of corruption and the Health Sector has long been neglected by successive governments and was collapsing before the pandemic. More than 200 medical staff have now been infected the number of patients hospitalized and admitted to intensive care more than doubled in the last 2 weeks if that rate continues lebanons hospitals once among the best in the middle east will run out of the intensive care beds it needs by mid august sent to. Beirut. Lets take you live that of chile where some parts of the capital are seeing lockdown lifted despite the region being the worst affected by the pandemic a latin america at its lucy and human is in santiago you see a Wire Authorities lifting lockdown measures there now are they confident that the risk of infection has fallen far enough. Hello adrian i am not bush or that they are confident i can tell you many chileans are not the numbers tells the story there are still huge numbers of the 2nd highest fatality rate from cold with 1000 in the whole region the numbers of infections here in the capital have dropped but not significantly enough according to the w. H. O. For confinement measures to be slackened off to be released where we are right now is an area that has is that as of today has had the confinement measures lifted from monday to friday everyone still has to stay indoors on the weekends but at the same time there are 3 or 4 other areas. Regions rather of the country where quarantines total lockdown to be declared because of the rising numbers you can see here that the the footpaths the sidewalks have been marked so that people will stay to the right or to the left but weve been seeing people walking any way they want not respecting the social distancing measures here on the floor where i am now it looks a bit like a crossword puzzle or a we board these hexagons are supposed to be for people to stand in while they are waiting to cross the street but people arent using them very much either as you can see theyre empty and so according to Health Experts that weve spoken to it is much too soon much too early for the government to have lifted the confinement measures here in this area but well have to see if the numbers end up speaking for themselves as well that if the government says that it will go back to a lockdown clearly people are fatigued its been 4 months of being kept indoors and not being able to work and thats clearly the reason why the government has decided to relax the measures at least in part of santiago and watch the situation in peru where a Study Suggests that one in 4 people in the capital lima may have been infected with the virus. Thats right one in 4 is a huge amount of people that have tested positive and that are believed to have been carried or still be carrying cold and 19 and those numbers are continuing to rise one of the reasons of course is the prove has a very very high rate of people working in the Informal Sector up to 75 percent of the of the population which means they cannot afford to stay home they need to work every single day and sold it while the government was one of the 1st to declare total lockdowns and very stringent measures restrictions they had to relax them because people just were not respecting them they were not obeying the orders at all and so now we have a situation where the hospitals are overflowing with patients and at the so or the the funeral pyres unfortunately very very dramatic scenes are playing out at this hour in neighboring peru and thats exactly what people here in chile want to avoid all thats in america and its a lucy and human reporting live from santiago in chile many thanks to see. The Worlds Airlines continue to struggle the International Air transport Association Says that it will take until 2024 for global air traffic to return to preplan demick levels it says that passenger numbers were down by 86 percent last month there are concerns about border reopening as and how the outbreak is tackled in the United States and developing countries the latest move by britain to quarantine arrivals from spain is also slowed prospects for any sort of recovery look body says that governments can reduce the risk of infection by introducing covert 19 testing and Contact Tracing at airports last month projected that airlines could lose more than 84000000000. 00 as revenues for by 50 percent compared to 2019 and the global Aviation Industry is on course for its worst here on rec ord because of the pandemic British Airways lufthansa air france emirates and indigo are the latest airlines to announce job losses brian pearce is the chief economist for i. R. So the International Air transport association he joins us now live via skype from geneva good to have you with us bryant does the pandemic spell the end of air transport as weve come to know it how many more airlines are going to go under before things return to normal. I think you very difficult situation. Were just not seeing international who own any travel at the moment business is so low airlines are pulling back service demand is still very weak because because of the crisis we see governments very reluctant to not do so which sectors and types of airline are going to be worst hit those who fly mainly short haul or long haul koreas. I know its long haul. Theyre going to suffer the most i mean were were were seeing some travel want to mystic markets were seeing some travel corridors for instance in in europe so theres a little bit of International Travel so a short haul point to points in travel services you know the ones that are working at the moment that the airlines are really struggling at the ones that rely on connecting passengers feeding passengers into their hearts in order to create Viable Services and with many markets close their Business Model is just not working at the moment if youre flying to somewhere like iceland you get a test upon arrival or you go to work to a Quarantine Hotel before you pay for a test i mean that seems eminently sensible if iceland could do Something Like that why cant other government. I think one of the big problems at the moment is that were just seeing very uncoordinated in inconsistent actions from from governments and you know typically typically when the Airline Industry comes out of recession it encourages people back into flying again by. No fares but theres just a lack of confidence at the moment so. We need more core coordination and measures that increase the confidence in passengers to fly again. Things are looking bleak as you say theres a lack of confidence from from passengers even from the
