my. only. an intimate look at life in cuba. that he thinks that this is my cue. on al-jazeera. one war the unheard order. you're watching al-jazeera i'm richelle carey and here's a reminder of the top stories. a coronavirus pandemic is taking an increasingly

heavy toll in the world's worst affected country italy but almost 800 more deaths of more than 6500 new infections in just one day. earlier quarter of all americans have been ordered to stay home as more states roll out restrictions limiting people's movement that's happening as politicians get closer to agreeing on a one trillion dollar package aimed at questioning the economic fallout. libya's war and sides have agreed to a ceasefire so they can focus on fighting coronavirus so far no cases have been reported their health system would struggle to cope with any award scale outbreak. al-jazeera has spoken to a doctor in southern italy who has tested positive for the virus giuseppi spent as a new knowledge was working and the only hospital in his area when his wife became unwell his tell all tardo is now on lockdown the local hospitals been closed and he is in corinth chain it's thought all the cases are linked to a school in the area but some have accused doctor spend of spreading the illness

there's a story. you don't know who might tell moliterno in the basilica region has a cluster of coronavirus cases there are not many towns in the south like militia which is in total lockdown there's no movement allowed looks like life has been extinguished here it's like a ghost town there's no one else side apart from a few people at the pharmacy or the local grocery stores and. in the days before my wife contract to the virus a few people visited the house friends and colleagues and people who were being tested you know with my wife it happened all of a sudden she was healthy and suddenly came down with a fever. dry cough it was violent and very strong and it. what really caught my attention was that her oxygen levels dropped dramatically on top of that is the other symptoms the lung obstruction persistent shaking and coughing tightness in an intense migraine that will let if you will die the difficulty in the south of italy is that there's not enough tastes or only

a few tests available every day in the entire region but more importantly it's absurd how difficult it is to find protective equipment like the face masks and gallons necessary to fight kovac 19. when i treated my wife at 1st i wasn't wearing protective gear because she had a small fever so i didn't think she had covered 19 so that's how i caught the virus as well i'd been taking consultations in the hospital and various departments while i was positive but i didn't know it and so the hospital's closed down temporarily to clean and sanitizing entire compound you know my colleagues were tested not just the doctors but also the paramedics and the nurses. from a human point of view 19 has been devastated because my wife was the 1st confirmed case in the whole basilica region it's unleashed an incredible wast next door on me related to the gossip those who thought that i was the one who brought this virus to our area but covered 19 is a global pandemic it doesn't respect borders doesn't follow rules the virus has

reached all corners of the globe in some way i do feel guilty guilty for having agenda even though i don't have any symptoms and even though i'm living with it my life continues normally except i've lost a bit of appetite makes one understand just how incredibly dangerous this virus can be for a human body if you don't have a strong immune system to fight it and this virus will inflict heavy damage and that's why there of being thousands of deaths in our country. turkey's groener virus death toll has more than doubled in the past 24 hours rising by a 12 to a total of $21.00 the number of confirmed cases has also jumped nearly $300.00 bringing the total to just under a 1000 authorities on saturday extended measures aimed at slowing the spread of the virus they include a curfew on the elderly and a suspension of flights from $46.00 more countries and a ban on picnics and barbeques tunisians are confined to their homes people can

one of the cities supermarkets they along with bakeries in every other business have been ordered to close people are waiting to find out how they'll be able to go and buy groceries and they can even leave their homes jordan has sealed itself suspending all flights in and out closing all sea and land crossings entire population of 10000000 is on lockdown and thousands of tourists have already left so that's made one job easier. i mean his apology is taking advantage of the curfew as streets are empty just stop the disinfection of public sites shops roads in a streets and alleys the new measures are meant to keep the number of cases low to make the economic fallout less severe and create conditions for daily life and tourism to return half a 1000000 tourists have already canceled their trips to the kingdom instead of catering to dozens of hotels have been turned into quarantine facilities for citizens who've recently returned from the united states and other places with far

more cases and al-jazeera. it is important to remind ourselves that the vast majority of people who contract covert 19 do recover is there to one such patient in iran who described his traumatic experience and i will put us on the list because this was about 3 weeks ago i had shortness of breath i couldn't breathe i just thought it was because of a cold i even visited a doctor who said it was nothing important and prescribe some simple medicine as shortness of breath continued i visited a doctor on march 2nd and he noticed that my blood oxygen level was much lower than normal he seen me to a hospital emergency situation i was examined and had achieved x. ray then in the lead after i was tested they looked to be afraid of me i was told that i was probably too stood positive it's all you can feel your of course i was fearful it was a strange fear for me i am an optimistic person in general the feeling went out into the hospital 16 way patients were waiting to be divided into rooms anxiety was

running high in the ear some were coughing strangely some were screaming when you suddenly faced something that you've heard about much in the news and the fight news on social media that creates fear inside you then you feel all you hoped for and thought about suddenly a race to the ground to prisoners had been killed as police stormed a jail in sri lanka where a riot broke out prisoners came out of their cells in the same poor to protest against the handling of a suspected crime a virus case they said infected and mate was still being kept in the prisons hospital because government imposed a nationwide 60 hour curfew starting propriety and the actual numbers have been rising in south africa a country whose health system is already struggling people worry the pandemic will overwhelm an entirely new miller reports on johanna's. doctors detected the 1st case of covert 1000 in south africa earlier this month over the past 2 weeks more than 150 people have been treated for the virus as the government

our part of the world our public health care systems are broken our intensive care units are full even before we get to covert 19 so again there's a real danger and this is why i think we need international support for africa we need a mobilization of resources poor water and sanitation infrastructure in parts of south africa mean that many may not be able to wash their hands as often as they should increasing the risk of contracting 1000 in upmarket suburbs like this one homes in spaces a large states a wide it's easier for people to keep apart but for millions of others the reality is quite different thousands of townships across south africa. overcrowded dozens of families share one toilet streets aligned with rubbish and people have little if any space to themselves the government is using t.v.
