and how to re-open for business. also, serious questions about the health of north korea's leader, kim jong-un, following a recent surgery. we're live in seoul and tokyo with the latest on that one. plus, president trump claiming he will temporarily suspend immigration into the u.s. over coronavirus fears. how will this impact the outbreak? that's also next. so here in the u.s. several states are preparing to ease the restrictions they imposed to contain the coronavirus even though america's death toll has now surged past 42,000 people. the governor of georgia says he will allow some businesses to re-open this week zpiet warnings from health officials. governor brian kemp says the move is a, quote, small step towards restarting the american economy, but the list of businesses allowed to re-open is anything but small. gyms, barber shops, bowling alleys, even tattoo parlors can resume business as early as friday while theaters and restaurants can re-open on monday. they have confirmed 20,000 cases and the governor admits those numbers could rise even further. >> i will say that we have more people moving around, we're probably going to see our cases continue to go up, but we're a lot better prepared for that now than we were over a month ago. >> well, other states are preparing to relax restrictions as well. alaska's governor says they could open up by the end of the week, but a source close to president trump's coronavirus task force warns if some states re-open too soon, the u.s. death toll could pass the modeling estimates of 60,000 deaths. they spoke with governors about testing capacity in their states. mr. trump said he provided them with tremendous testing capacities. >> reporter: gyms, barber shops, hair and nail salons, massage therapists all clear to re-open in florida on friday. >> this measure will apply statewide and will be the operational standard in all jurisdictions. >> reporter: theaters and restaurants can open april 27th. bars and nightclubs will remain closed for now. some businesses in neighboring tennessee will also be back on monday. the state's stay at home order will now end april 30th. neither state has seen a 14-day decline in cases which the president recommended before moving into phase one of re-opening. south carolina giving retail stores and beaches the green light. four coastal communities will keep restrictions in place. they set up a strong contrast across the country. >> boston, chicago, philadelphia singled out as potential new hot spots. experts caution a rush to re-open will back fire. >> unless we get it under control, the real recovery economically is not going to happen. what you do if you jump the gun and go into a situation where you have a big spike, you're going to set yourself back. >> reporter: beaches in jacksonvil jacksonville, florida, now open with limited hours and what appears to be limited social distancing. >> jacksonville is right across the border from georgia and it tells you that one state can't make a set of decisions that are inconsistent with public health and science because it's going to affect another state. >> reporter: as states and cities look for a path forward, testing continues to be key. >> the question is how fast can you increase the volume of tests? because the more tests, the better. that is the axiom. the more test, the better. test nursing homes, test schools, test teachers, test prison facilities, but you need the volume of tests. >> the city of new york testing and amazon using thermal cameras to test. officials stress, we still don't know how effective those antibodies are. governor brian kemp of georgia was also asked about whether this move to start re-opening businesses on friday could lead to more positive cases in his state and he acknowledged, yes, it absolutely could, but says he feels the state has what it needs in place to deal with any additional new cases. the governor also talking a lot about small businesses as he was weighing this decision talking about the need to get the economy back and the need to get the small businesses back to work. back to you. >> thanks, erica, for that. not everyone here in georgia supports the governor's decision for re-opening on friday. van johnson is beyond disturbed calling it a reckless action. we also heard from georgia's mayor. spoke earlier on cnn. >> reporter: our metro area has about 6 million people. more than half the population in the entire united states. where are our hot spots? our hot spots are in areas like bibb county around macon that didn't shut down. when we open up houses of worship, we have to think of albany, georgia, with one of the worst outbreaks in the country. that by and large came from two funerals. so i'm perplexed that we have opened up in this way. i work very well with our governor and i look forward to having a better understanding of what this reasoning is, but as i look at the data and as i talk with our public health officials, i don't see that it's based on anything that's logical. >> the head of the world health organization does not signal the end of the outbreak. they still have to ramp up their testing in order to diagnose and track infections. at a news conference he called for more solidarity in order to slow the spread. take a listen. >> easing restrictions is not the end of epidemic in any country. ending the epidemic will require a sustained effort on the part of individuals, communities and governments to continue suppressing and controlling this deadly virus. >> dr. dale fischer is an infectious disease expert. joining us from singapore. i know you're all the way on the other side of the world but i don't know if you can see, the link in terms of the curve, do you think the time is right now for people to be let out and allowed to go on as business as usual? >> i understand why people want that, but really to undo lockdowns and other social restrictions really requires the transmission rate to be under control. reclaiming of your health system to have the beds emptied out, the beds back available again. but also is your sis them place to deal with more cases? clearly most of the world wasn't ready. with testing in place, the ability to test people and isolate places and do the contact tracing and quarantine, these are all the components you need in place before i think it's safe to undo things. >> yeah. from the experts and warnings from the atlanta mayor, that's not in place in georgia. in many ways, this has become the microcosm between the push and pull, the tug wean the public health and the economy. it's certainly a pressure that is felt across the world. if you were here in atlanta and georgia, do you think it was prudent for people to go out and get a tattoo or massage? what's the scenario if people start doing that? >> it's risky. it might be -- if you're going to do that, at least try and make it as safe as possible. make sure that the social distancing is in place. make sure temperatures are being taken, people are offered hand rub. stay away from crowds. if this is the decision that's being made, do your best. honestly, if other things aren't in place, i think any place is vulnerable to overwhelming its health systems. if they're not already like that, that's the risk. you can't just ignore this virus, you see. places that if you -- wuhan, that was ground zero, you saw what happened to the health facilities there. these weren't people with mild illnesses, these were people with deaths and they needed ventilators including young people. italy was caught off guard. new york was clearly caught off guard. there are so many examples of around the world of people, cities, countries that weren't hit hard. >> as an infectious disease expert, somebody who sits on a committee looking at global alert and responses, in terms of where we are now, give us a sense of how much worse do you think is to come. do you have a sense of optimism this is managed in some places? or the fact that there are all of these hot spots, mini epidemics, not so many, that this is something that's going to keep on boiling up for months, even years to come. >> i mean, they all think the end game is probably a vaccine. >> yeah. >> and this will take a year plus until it's been made, gone through the trials, been ramped up and administered to enough people to provide protection on a broad scale. until then, we're going to see many, many different types of outbreak. this will depend on the context, what country you're in, how dense it is. you might have heard singapore has huge outbreaks whereas the rest of singapore is on a different trajectory altogether. china's trying to come out of lockdown, new zealand is coming out next week while other cases are extending and ramping up. there's different scenarios everywhere and we just need to keep learning from each other and not being i guess immature about it. learning, adapting, changing and trying to keep your people safe while doing the best you can for the economy because it's not like public health people are anti-economy. we want this as well. it's about a balance. >> it certainly is, but also perhaps listening to the science over the politicians is a wise way as well in terms of these situations. the numbers are leading the way or should be. >> dr. dale fischer, infectious disease expert coming to us live from singapore. thank you for joining us. >> my pleasure. >> have a lovely day. this is a new story. the u.s. president will soon sign an order to temporarily suspend immigration into the country. he hasn't provided any details. cnn's john harwood reports now from washington. john? >> president trump took a surprising late night step in an attempt to get on top of the coronavirus crisis announcing on twitter that he was temporarily suspending all immigration into the united states. they explained the justification and many immigration activities have been put on hold by the coronavirus crisis. the president did not announce a ban on travel into the united states, only on immigration itself. now this comes at a time when the president is facing intense criticism over his response to coronavir coronavirus. they said the president was too late to address the issue. governors are saying he's not providing them enough help with testing which is needed to re-open the economy. this is not a new theme for the president. he's talked about this since the 2016 campaign. he's tried to reduce legal immigration levels throughout his presidency. the question is why would you do it now late at night over social media? i talked with cory shockey who's the head of international relations. she's a veteran of the george w bush administration. she said it looks like a panic move. the u.s. is monitoring intelligence out of north korea. leader kim jong-un is in grave danger after surgery. these are the last images to air on state media ten days ago. mr. kim missed the celebration of his grandfather's birthday last week, which is north korea's most important holiday. however, south korea says it's seeing no unusual signs. so paula hancocks is standing by in seoul, south carolina. we begin with will ripley who's reported for us. what do you make of this information? >> reporter: hi, robyn. it's not surprising that the united states is telling one thing and chinese intelligence is saying something else. there is inevitably going to be a lot of confusion where the state of the north korean leader's health is uncertain. if you think back to when kim jong-il died, everything appeared normal before they announced it. fair and accurately, it's all speculation until we get the facts as north korea wants the world to know them. until we get some sort of official announcement. we know kim jong-un does have health issues. he is visibly over weight. he often is photographed with a cigarette in hand. he is young. north korea has never released his birth year. they don't release information about his movements and they're not going to be forthcoming about his health condition because it's a heavily guarded secret. there will be a lot of speculation and we have to wait until we get something more substantive. that has to come from pyongyang. >> let us know if you hear anything. will ripley, thank you. paula hancocks, over to you. the reaction in south korea as will said is pretty self-explanatory. tell us what they're saying. >> reporter: robyn, at this point south korean officials are saying things very differently telling jim sciutto. they say there is no unusual activity. they tell cnn that they believe kim jong-un is not in pyongyang. he's elsewhere in the country. it's quite unusual to give journalists that level of detail that they believe at this point. they say no unusual signs are being detected. they are playing this down at this point. many experts that i've been speaking to as well to wonder whether or not his health is in such a serious prediction amount, but they all point to the fact that it was unusual that on april 15th, one of the most important days in the north korean calendar, the birthdate of the founder of the country, kim jong-un's grandfather, that he was not publicly seen or mentioned. just the day before -- something that he would ordinarily be at. it's quite often that he is physically at these launches. we didn't have any footage or images of that incident which we generally do 24 hours after. this is just playing into the speculation as to where exactly he is at this point. in 2014 we had discussions with people. in 2014 he was not seen and the speculation was rife. he appeared with a walking cane and it appeared he had a cyst issue on his foot. it is what it is with north korea, until they tell us what's happening, and they are telling fairly different narratives. >> paula hancocks, good to see you. thank you. so they are

drop so rapidly that the world is running out of room to store barrels. christine romans joins me now from new york with more on all of this. yikes! i mean, it's -- i mean, i'm kind of at a loss for words when you see those numbers because it's just -- wow. >> reporter: how could something as valuable as crude oil be worthle less than zero? that shows you how upside down the world is now. because of the coronavirus pandemic we've essentially shuttered big parts likely in global recession right now, how deep, no one knows for sure. that means the demand for oil has simply collapsed so producers who are pumping this stuff are essentially paying, at least yesterday they were, paying people to take it off their hands. paying to get rid of the valuable thing that they pump and they supply. it's remarkable. brent crude, $20 a barrel. $16.66 a barrel. and below the level that most producers make money. it doesn't even pay to be pump this stuff. you had the price war between saudi arabia and russia. we thought that was resolved with production cuts in recent weeks, but simply taking that production off the market isn't enough to make up for what is essentially collapsing demand. i mean, think of it. hundreds of millions of people. billions of people are staying home. they're not going to work, not driving a car, not using pet troll. in many cases you have factories shuttered or working at much less capacity. the thing that the world runs n on, crude oil, just isn't in demand. >> i think you use a good analogy. upside down. i think we all feel like we're living in our own personal dystopian futures. it's right now and bizarre on all levels. good to see you. chat more. >> you, too. >> we'll talk to you later. still to come -- re-open pa and jesus is my vaccine. signs

world. you're watching cnn. i'm robyn curnow. it is 5:30 here in the morning on the east coast in atlanta. good to have you along. i want to give you a check of our headlines this hour. this is what we know. south korea's government is aware of reports that north korean leader kim jong-un is in poor health. no unusual signs are being detected inside north korea. the u.s. is monitoring intelligence that kim is in grave danger after undergoing surgery. the u.s. president says he will fight the coronavirus by banning immigration. donald trump tweeted he will sign an executive order in part because of the need to protect the jobs of our great american citizens. they remain unclear including the length of the suspension. and the number of coronavirus deaths in the u.s. has surged past 42,000 people according to johns hopkins university. some states will ease the restrictions they've set up to contain the outbreak. the governor of georgia will allow some businesses to re-open despite warnings from officials. some americans simply refuse to believe the virus poses a serious threat. many are taking to the streets to demand the whole country follow georgia's lead and re-open. miguel marquez was at a rally at one of those in harrisburg, pennsylvania, and this is his report. miguel. >> reporter: good morning, robyn. it was a very busy day. very big day at the state capitol at harrisburg, pennsylvania, where hundreds if not thousands of protestors lined the area around the capitol. across the street from it and cars going by honking showing their support. these protests had many different voices, many different things that they were trying to accomplish. one is they wanted to stop the stay at home orders that pennsylvania is under because of the coronavirus. it was also very much a -- felt like a re-election rally for the president. it was also a religious rally to some degree with lots of religious groups praying. one of the signs saying jesus is my vaccine. it was a second amendment or gun rights rally. there were several heavily armed individuals who made their presence known at the rally as well. many of the protesters who were here were wearing masks trying to keep a respectful distance, but many, many others were not. there were a lot of people without masks on, standing sort of shoulder to shoulder during this protest. the ones that i spoke to said they just did not believe that the coronavirus is as serious as the media portrays it. they said the media is the virus, that the politicians, in this case democratic politicians are the virus, and they say they are basically trying to conduct a coup by pandemic. what they want more than anything is for the stay at home orders to end. they're asking they end on may 1st. that is something president trump floated himself in the last several days, but the governor of -- tom wolf of pennsylvania during the rally here extended that stay at home order until may 8th. all of that likely to raise tensions both here and in other states where similar rallies are planned. robin? >> thanks for that. interesting stuff there. so some states in the u.s. are getting ready to re-open, including here in georgia, as we said. some countries are worried. germany started easing the restrictions allowing the country to take steps back to normalcy. they say the number of new infections remains low following monday's decline. fred pleitgen joins me from berlin. hi. good to see you. explain to us the differences between the u.s. and germany. in many ways, they have seen a decline and got plans for testing and that's the difference why germany's reopening? >> reporter: that's what the germans are saying. the difference between them and the united states and other european countries, they started testing extremely early on and they did start testing in a massive way as well. there was a press conference where they've said they've ramped up their testing capacity to 700,000 tests per week and that's the country of 80 million. they say getting that data, knowing who has the virus fairly early on is something that's helped them isolate cases. that helps them get back to it. they have a scientific approach not to get complacent and to keep sticking to the social distancing measures in place. there were people who got the freedoms going into places shopping like the zoo as well. here's what we saw. >> the seals have an audience again. they allowed zoos to open up and giving parents and children reprieve. children need a distraction. it's been so hard. all the playgrounds are closed. i'm a single mother, i have to work and school remains closed. schools will remain closed until at least may 4th just like bars, restaurants and gyms. this is what many german towns look like today as stops smaller than 8600 square feet were allowed to open. they're pushing testing back. 700,000 tests per week the government says. a drastic increase in icu capacities. the outbreak has become controllable and manageable again the health minister said. that's allowing germany to fly in patients from italy, spain, france, and the netherlands. germany is going even further. the country's centers for disease control announced a series of mass antibody tests to determine what part of the country has come in common with the coronavirus. in munich they're going door to door. we want to understand how many people get infected by the coronavirus without symptoms or very light symptoms so they're not aware of having the virus ahead of tests, he says. still, many physical distancing measures remain in place in germa germany, and angela merkel warns the gains made would be fragile. it would be tragic if we knowingly relapsed and endangered the first successes we see today. as germans enjoy the lifting of some of the lockdown measures, the leaders are warning stay vigilant or the lockdown might return. robyn, one of the other measures they're talking about is contact tracing. angela merkel saying the germans would drastically up their capacity so they know where these infections came from even better than they do now. it's her approach to make this very science based, databased, and also she has worked together very well for people on the state and local levels to make sure everybody is on board with these measures. even she says in the end the main thing is the discipline of the population here for them to keep these social distancing measures in place to adhere to them. that's where she warns the population that there could be a second wave. >> she led from the front on this. fred pleitgen, good to see you. thanks, fred. so the u.k. is not quite ready to ease its restrictions yet. the prime minister's spokesman says the government's concern is the second piece of it. they will be guided by science in terms of when to relieve it. the prien minister prime minist recovering. nick r robertson is joining us. >> reporter: the focus is around ppe and while they have a message, it doesn't have a clear and concise message yet on how it will end. in germany there is a phased approach. people in the u.k. have no idea what the approach is. it's contradictory. you have the lack of credibility in the government because it isn't presenting a clear message. the message is very clearly at the moment that staying at home saves lives and protects the national health service, but in the context of protecting the national health service, there's another confidence deficit that the government's experiencing at the moment, and that is the deficit of the personal protection equipment. a doctor's association in the u.k. that polled 1100 of its members got results that were shocking. there was a lack of masks and eye protection for more than 1/3 of the doctors who responded and almost half of them said they didn't have protective gowns. the government has said supplies are critically low. they have said there is enough to go around. the evidence from doctors has permitted that. they were on the verge of taking delivery of 400,000 much needed clinical gowns. then didn't arrive from turkey as the government said they would over the weekend. they sent a plane there last night. that delivery is still, quote, several days away. so this credibility issue is a big issue for the government. they're there for the first time. it's a scaled hybrid version. 50 mps in the chamber. another 150 contributing by zoom, of course, the normal number would be 650 in the chamber shouting questions. >> i'm sure they can still do that over

to share, both physically and mentally about living in con fanment amidst the coronavirus. thank you for joining us. you know what it's like to be isolated in confinement. what are you telling your clients who are cooped up at home? >> well, at the moment, robyn, thanks for having us. what i'm constantly trying to get people to understand is it's about building a routine. building a routine. not a schedule, a routine that works for you, that fits for you, whether that's waking up, starting with meditation, moving your body obviously and finding time to just be more centered and focused on
