america continues to prepare for what many see as an inevitable large scale contagion but in mexico many say the government isn't doing enough on the republicans us now from mexico city man well has the mexican government started adopting stronger containment measures. that's certainly one of the biggest criticisms that people have here in mexico that the government is not doing enough mexico has been reluctant to impose many of the same containment measures that we've seen from other countries in the region mexico's president of this mineral is what i thought says that he doesn't feel that it's necessary to apply some of the same measures such as shutting down schools or canceling flights saying that he's mostly concerned about the economic impact in the country now mexico has 118 confirmed cases as of this morning on thursday in nationwide only recently that the country begin. entering the double digits when it comes to infections and only yesterday on wednesday evening did the company to the country announce that the 1st
12:37 am
deaths related to corona virus had occurred mexico's president mexico's foreign secretary marcello that says that this is being handled at a regional level with the united states and canada as part of the north american block but has yet to say whether or not mexico is going to adapt or evolve to these posturing in terms of asylum seeker policy from the united states that has already announced a partial closure of the border so that so that asylum seekers will be forced to stay in mexico now you ask what sort of containment measures mexico is doing is it xico doing enough unfortunately most people here when it comes to self isolation when it comes to quarantine these are initiatives by private citizens by private companies until now mexico has not taken the same steps that we're seeing from other countries in latin america i mean well what about the rest of latin america has that we jim preparing for a scenario like the one play at here in europe or is it preparing in that way. well
12:38 am
we've been monitoring the region and it looks as though policies national policies are evolving overnight if we go down the list of countries in the proverbial global south and latin america there are countries that have closed their borders outright that completely shut down countries in central america like guatemala el salvador honduras el salvador was one of the 1st countries in the region to adopt strong measures they only yesterday announced their 1st case of coronavirus in honduras there's a national curfew that's been imposed by that is being enforced in several cities in the country one of the biggest concerns at the moment right now is what's happening in venezuela a 7 year economic crisis there has pushed them as well as health services to a critical to a critical point we've heard from doctors in gattaca is in the country's capital saying that there are places where doctors won't even go because they are themselves afraid of contracting the virus worried that they don't have the necessary supplies so is latin america as
12:39 am
a region prepared it spends less than any other region or almost any other region in the world on health services so unfortunately i think the short answer there is no julie manlove apollo there live from mexico city. the u.s. congress has passed $100000000000.00 bill aimed at easing the price of citizens during the pandemic it provides for free testing and added unemployment payments but it won't cover everyone and it doesn't include paid sick leave and many thousands will have to choose between work or staying home to care for a loved one mike hanna reports from washington d.c. . with restaurants throughout the country close the role of the fast food chains is critical most are close to saddam dinars but they grab and go operations provide an essential source of daily nutrition it's estimated that more than 790000 workers at the biggest possible chains do not have access to sick pay we have
12:40 am
a doctor here we have dogs. she's not a medical. and i don't know how you get through this we need help here seattle's in a crisis restaurant workers are in a crisis the same applies to the large grocery stores where workers with no sick leave continually restock items like food and hand sanitizers admits to buying frenzy congress has passed a bill that specifies payment for sick leave but this does not apply to companies with more than 500 workers i'm not only worried about my my kids but worried about the workforce that they're you know in thinking they have no choice but to show up folks that are selling us our groceries folks that are at the pharmacy right now 3 years ago an award winning documentary called 0 weeks pointed out that the united states and papa new guinea are the only countries in the world that do not provide for paid family leave americans have to make the choice between tending to
12:41 am
a sick spouse parent or child or going to work to generate income in this time of pandemic it's an even stark choice for those feeling ill and the emergency bill now passed by congress does little to ease the hardship of the 10s of thousands are top work congress we need your help or service industry depends on it this is unfortunate what's going on but we need the help that is there and not a hand out they're not doing we have mortgages and we have family. re scared the fact that even in the submergence e congress cannot agree on the need for universal paid sick leave emphasizes how deeply embedded its absence is in the us corporate structure i think. that corporate. establishment has long fart off what are otherwise incredibly sense of all policies are feeling the brunt of that right now last week president trump
12:42 am
paraded whole prude leaders who he said had joined the white house in combating the virus the irony is that it's their long term policy that threatens to contribute to its spread. out his era washington in this prime minister narendra modi has ordered the country's 1300000000 population to follow a one day curfew on sunday to combat the pandemic the curfew will be enforced from 7 am to 9 pm as a test of the nation's ability to go effectively into lockdown india is also honest about an incoming international flights for a week beginning on sunday last week the country found most foreigners from entering that shed till to last until at least april the 15th got on not various and heard the groan of r.s. crisis is very hard to control there are many big countries that are suffering so anyone who thinks it won't affect india is wrong elizabeth is in new delhi.
12:43 am
now over the last week things here have been really grinding to a halt schools colleges gyms might clubs you know cultural social centers have been closing the state of punjab decided to shut down public transport or public transport today and one more thing that the promise to really stressed which the health ministry also mentioned earlier in the day and that's also something that people are going to find very difficult here in india the massive challenge of social distancing there are as the prime minister keeps mentioning 1300000000 people in india so many of them 80 percent work in what's called and the un organized sector a lot of people were on the streets we spoke to street vendors who told us that if they didn't leave their homes while there their families would die of hunger so that's just not an option for them so how is this government going to contain the spread it's doing everything it can to stop more cases from coming into the country
12:44 am
but of course you know once it's here it's going to be incredibly difficult for the government to tell people who need to go out to survive to get by to stay at home and. pakistan has calls one of the main border crossings with india and all exits to and from afghanistan contain the koran a virus i worry that there is anger over unhygienic conditions in quarantine centers and a lack of doctors in government facilities hospitals there don't have enough resources and there are fears pakistan's fragile health system is ill equipped to deal with the outbreak priyanka gupta has the story. there is little social distancing in this cornered center in southwest pakistan hundreds of people are crammed in some are in small tents in an open courtyard what's up videos reveal filled the facilities and conditions so bad that people are protesting against the government keeping them there the dream of doing that kind of thing in the market
