a drop at the number of deaths for a 2nd day and while the infection rate in spain has declined more than $800.00 people died there in the last 24 hours bringing the total number of deaths to more than 6500. born out of the moment but 1st let's hear from rob reynolds on the developments in the u.s. . redondo empty beaches are a sign of the times in southern california as most residents follow a statewide stay at home order. more than half of the 50 us states are now under those orders intended to slow the spread of coronavirus the federal government extended until april 30th it's guidance that people maintain social distancing with the number of confirmed cases and deaths rising one of the country's top infectious disease experts says the final toll could be very high looking at what we're seeing now you know i would say between 10200000 cases but i don't want to be held to that

because it's deaths i mean we're going to have millions of cases but i just don't think that we really need to make a projection when it's such a moving target governors like new york's andrew cuomo painted a sobering picture i don't see how you get past that curve without seeing thousands of people pass away louisiana is already running short on hospital space and we're on a trajectory currently to exceed our capacity in the new orleans area for ventilators bob out april the 4th and all beds available in hospitals bob out april the 10th. michigan's detroit auto show is canceled and the convention center where it's usually held will be converted to a field hospital we see that's astronomical rise we've got hospitals that are already at capacity illinois governor said he desperately needs more testing kits

the white house has promised millions of tests for weeks now and they're just not here in a briefing president donald trump made the shocking and unsubstantiated claim that the shortage of masks and. other protective equipment in hospitals maybe because nurses and hospital staff are stealing them they've been delivering for years 10 to 20000 masks ok it's a new york hospital very it's packed all the time how do you go from 10 to 20 to 300010 to 20000 masks 230-0000 even though this is different something's going on and you want to look into it as reporters where the masculine are they going out the back door i don't think it's hoarding i think it's maybe worse than hoarding earlier trump tweeted with evident pride that his daily briefings were getting great television ratings higher than some popular reality shows robert oulds al

jazeera as the outbreak continues to grow across europe leaders and health officials are warning their citizens that antivirus merits measures could stay in place for months also as paul brennan reports. a steady procession of hearses bring the latest virus victims to the temporary morgue set up in madrid's largest ice rink on sunday spain recorded another daily death toll of more than 830 people such a small increase on the previous day is seen as a glimmer of hope that the situation remains critical. it is very likely that the outbreak is evolving properly thanks to everyone's efforts having nearly 20 percent of our cases recovering and that is an encouraging statistic but it is true that the number of people going into intensive care units is doing creasing and there are many regions operating at maximum capacity and many other regions quickly getting closer to this limit yes yes autonomous. the u.k.

has recorded its 2nd successive day of more than 200 new deaths and the government has put the entire country on emergency footing unprecedented in peace time asked about the timescale for the current restrictions the answer came a could be many months so i think 3 weeks for review 2 or 3 months to see whether we've really squashed it that about 3 to 6 months ideally and lots of uncertainty in that then to see which point we can actually get back to normal and it is plausible that it could go further than. there's been criticism in controversy over the limited scale of the u.k.'s testing regime but there is evidence the capacity is slowly increasing this drive through test center in the car park or an animal adventure park at chessington has opened specifically for national health service workers the royal college of nursing britain's largest nursing union estimates that up to 20 percent of the u.k.'s health care workforce is currently at home self

isolating these testing centers will bring certainty allowing potentially hundreds of nurses to return to the front line of nursing at a time when the health care system needs the most. in france overwhelming pressure on congested hospitals in some regions has made it necessary to transfer patients to other areas these patients are being taken by train from the ground best region to new aquitaine and some french patients are being transferred to germany for treatment by combination of german military plane and french military helicopter. going up but when you get it we need to free up some space when you free up a space it gives you room for a new patient and that saves a life so there won't be a gridlock on hospital resources for those of us but. across europe coronavirus restrictions have left the streets almost empty but the grim prediction is that it will get worse before it gets any better. al-jazeera. in china it's the 1st

working day since restrictions will loosen the han where the virus was 1st detected the city had been under strict quarantine for 2 months but the easing of restrictions comes amid fears of a 2nd wave of infections in china let's go live now to beijing katrina you can tell us more so the 1st working day of rouhani what are you hearing about how people are getting back to normal after months on the long. well very slowly it's starting to look like normal life in the epicenter of this pandemic some shops have been open we know that some morals are starting to open their doors finally after almost 2 months of being shut people who work in essential industries such as the cement and steel industries are also starting to go back to work the subway in rouhani is also resuming and inbound trains to the city of will have also resumed and that's after days of very few locally transmitted cases on monday reported $31.00 new cases and only one of those was

a locally transmitted cases with 30 of those being people who brought the infections from overseas now china has really focused on these imported cases on the weekend it banned foreigners from entering china it kept international flights in an effort to stem those overseas infections coming into the country but there still is a lot of skepticism about the transparency of the accuracy of these numbers on sunday president xi jinping visit a judge on province which is a big manufacturing hub here in china and his message was really checking on working resumption he wants to get the economy going again after true months of being at a standstill and that means officials all around the country are under tremendous pressure to resume normal life to get things going again and that's why there are a lot of fears that it may be true soon and that there could be a 2nd wave of infections because of this urgency to get good things going again that restrictions might be lowered too soon as well as that officials are under

tremendous pressure to keep these numbers down and that's leading to fears that they may not be so transparent when it comes to reporting new cases of zeros katrina you're reporting live from beijing china many thanks indeed. as cases of the virus rise around the world medical workers fighting to save people's lives are among those most at risk spain currently has the highest rate of infection among health workers they make up around 16 percent of total known cases that's compared to 8 percent of health workers in italy and the dangerous spreading on sunday the u.k.'s national health service announced the death of its 1st frontline health worker who tested positive for the virus without personal protective equipment the risk of patient to medic transmission increases hospital staff in the us are already protesting about a shortage of gear the world health organization has called on manufacturers to ramp up production well those concerns are also present in the philippines where at least 12 doctors have died treating the sick the health system there are struggling

to handle the number of rising infections barnaby lo reports now from manila. the philippine general hospital unusually empty the country's biggest public health institution treats more than 600000 patients every year now entire wards have been cleared after the government designated it the country's main role in a virus hospital. or just in paul is an infectious diseases specialist for children who still called into the front line to treat adults we have been more or less in terms of managing to treat you know. and then even us to get fish and. even assists when they come in. away from public hospitals private once in manila are widely considered to be the best but they've stopped admitting potential coronavirus patients after treating

the 1st wave of infections so the empty road that you're seeing right behind me is what's called a facility quarantine zone basically local authorities have sealed off about a kilometer stretch of the road because inside the containment zone it's a hospital where there has been a rising number of polio virus cases hundreds of health care workers have had to be isolated and several frontline doctors have died of the disease rate now we don't know who has the infection on so when we go out there when we need patients initially if you are it's a very risky without any but they're shy and so. it's really part of the anxiety on our part. but some of the government limited resources are now at the disposal of the philippine general hospital health care workers from other hospitals continued to beg for help the health department says

despite shortages this story it's best to supply protective gear in the limo pulls up in the bin that's the shortage of personal protective equipment isn't in week to the philippines other countries are experiencing as shortage as well so we are purchasing and accepting donations at the same time rest assured we are working to provide hospitals in need of p.p. east. the month long lockdown that began 2 weeks ago appears to be the government's preferred solution for now dr spear and outbreak the size of china's circuit obliques could be in the collapse of the entire health care system here on below al-jazeera middle. we're going to weather up tape next here on al-jazeera then. doctors traveling to health coronavirus affected countries reject criticism of their being used to spread propaganda. that a new wave of virus related measures comes into force in australia.

there's a chance the old shower here her noid too could see the old downpour back some of 27 degrees into southeastern parts of asia we're seeing a slight decrease in shower right city at the moment western parts of java still i see some heavy showers and that certainly goes for jakarta the could be some flooding here but kuala lumpur and singapore generally looking fine across into south asia for much of india and bangladesh where the conditions are looking good but things are looking more disturbed further towards the west we're seeing rain spreading out of afghanistan into western parts of pakistan that will continue on tuesday. when diplomacy fields and fierce we then. our borders are wide open wide open to drugs terrorists we've proven the barriers are built to impose division and it's not effective instead of being an obstacle or tornado wastes into became another obstacle to peace in a 4 part series al-jazeera revisits the reasons for divisions in different parts of

the world and the impact they have on both sides walls of shame on al-jazeera. well again this is al-jazeera the 2nd monitor of my view of the main news the us president donald trump says that he wants to extend social distancing guidelines for a month to slow the spread of the coronavirus the u.s. has recorded at least 130000 factions the government's top infectious disease expert has warned the deaths that could reach 200000. italy has recorded a drop in the number of deaths for a 2nd day the infection rates in spain has declined more than 800 people died there

a medical appointment if you do you believe they have now banned public gatherings from 10 people now you can only have 2 people in outside areas at any one time it will be state governments that will be enforcing these measures it will be new south wales and victoria leading the way because they have the highest rates of infection the military was brutally annoyed for the weekend to monitor those people travelling in from overseas who would be in quarantine for 14 days in hotels or different government facilities but the prime minister and the government have been somewhat positive over the past 24 to 48 hours so i sing the fact that the infection right in a strongly a house actually been slowing and they say that some of these restrictions has definitely helped with those because at the moment just over 4000 destroyed all the ins are infected with corona virus and as of monday morning 17 people had died in

some open source solutions to detect these vulnerabilities have already been found and made available public we have civil liberties and privacy protections both within the constitution and also with our communication was the electronics privacy and communications act and the carriers are very well aware of these acts that there are some provider exceptions but they have an obligation to ensure that those exceptions are not abused and it would violate them privacy and civil liberties of the users of the network. mali has held its long delayed parliamentary election but with the double threat of the coronavirus violence by armed groups the turnout was low as well just there was no. empty polling stations for an election meant to bring peace to mali many voters chose to stay home after attacks by armed groups
