1st infections victoria gayton be al-jazeera. only 7 people in china have been killed after a hotel used as a corran team center collapsed rescue workers pulled 47 out of the 70 people from under the rubble but more than a dozen people are still trapped let's get the very latest royal correspondent train to use following events the hotel class very late on saturday night the rescue operation continues katrina. that's right they've been working overnight it happened about 730 local time they're still investigating the causes of this collapse the landlord of the hotel has been taken into the police station for questioning the central government has sent additional forces to help with the emergency rescue we're still trying to find out what caused this exactly but we do know that the hotel occupied the upper floors of this building it was only 2 years old so not a very old building but we do know that the ground floor of this hotel was being

refurbished and that possibly had something to do with the reason that the structure gave way what else we know is that this hotel was being used to actually house people who were being quarantined because of the coronavirus about 50 or so people were being quarantined and what's extremely frustrating is that these people we've just been told all tested negative for the current virus so they were being held there to monitor their own health but also to keep them away from the community presumably to keep the community safe but there is a lot of frustration about this because it's an example of these heavy handed restrictions being used to protect the community from the current of ours but the same time having devastating consequences for the people in this hotel who are waiting to go through their one to 2 week quarantine period of being there before they could be released do you keep your message of course with the coronavirus and what are the chinese authorities saying though or today your numbers.

that's right the chinese authorities are very much trying to divert attention away from this tragedy and towards the more positive news this weekend for the 1st time we've had confirmed new cases in china drop below 100 and that's very significant because just about 2 weeks ago we were seeing thousands of new cases every day and now we've got in the last 24 hours 44 new cases and 27 deaths in the vast majority of these new numbers happening in who bay province and according to this of official figures effectively the spread of krona virus outside who bay province has stopped because they say all these these few cases that have come outside province were cases that were actually imported from other countries and actually imported from italy and imported from iran so the government is very much using this downward trend to really push this positive propaganda that look we put these heavy handed restrictions in place we locked down nearly and we restricted the movement of the hundreds of millions and this these numbers are proof that our methods are

working and indeed other countries have a lesson or 2 to learn from us and of course they're trying to bury very much the criticism from earlier this year that the reason this outbreak grew to this scale was of course because of incompetence or mishandling on the part of local authorities in who they province for the update don't so much katrina katrina your correspondent. belgian tina has now reported the 1st coronavirus death in latin america several countries in the region including paraguay colombia chile and peru also announced their 1st cases well israeli and the palestinian authorities are continuing their efforts to contain the virus after 16 cases were identified in the occupied west bank city of bethlehem tourists have been banned from entering the city and a roadblock has been put up to quarantine the area in ramallah teams in protective clothing have been disinfecting holy sites. on the coronavirus continues to spread in africa with new cases in cameroon and togo at least 45 infections have been
