the chrono virus in the u.s. . the gun going to be one of the current is out not because i know you want to go outside in the shop because tracking teddy bears a simple game to keep children entertained during this pandemic has become a hit around the world. so spain is where we're going to begin right now new numbers just released showed the death toll there continues to rise 812 people have died in the past 24 hours that means more than 7300 people have now died since this outbreak began the number of new infections is rising steadily with more than 85000 confirmed cases in spain more than 12000 of them are health care workers talk about china now some people are going back to work where the virus was 1st detected the city who has been under strict quarantine. for 2 months now let's go to the u.s.

president of trump there says his social distancing guidelines should stay in place for at least another month that is a reversal from his comments just last week when he predicted things to be back to normal by easter the number of deaths linked to the virus in new york state has now risen above 1000 so we have a couple of correspondents live for you lawrence lee is in london the tell us about the mobilization effort there to get people to help 1st is going to mark the herero she is in madrid for the latest on these numbers march i know we talk a lot about how the health care workers are really on the front line but these numbers about how this is also affecting them there are staggering. yes we've seen how all these health care workers of 14 percent of the total amount of people have that have tested positive from coronavirus in spain $85000.00 in total $12300.00 are health care workers the thought of growing up from coronavirus house has reached 7800. 2 up to date we've seen how the health care workers have been

struggling have been claiming because they are lacking they're running out of protective measures they don't have lost they don't have google's they don't have masks they don't have been delayed or so they're coping they're dealing with the battling with a coronavirus in the front line and they are not prepared for it they are there in there is to be contagious and they're in the risk of spreading the coronavirus so the situation situation for them is quite dramatic we've seen how the health ministry has greenlighted medical records the entire doctors coming back to work medicine students in the last year of college returning and helping all these people we've seen how many doctors and nurses saying they're joining the government don't know going back to work in these conditions they've been claiming for these for the past 2 weeks and they don't see any material coming coming coming back and in fact mark at the hospitals in madrid they are overwhelmed there are thousands of

new infections if you are just as you've just reported and we have pictures inside to some of the hospitals hallways the hallways are filled with patients people are being transferred to other hospitals but there's constantly new patients coming in and the government says it is testing more than ever before doctors though as you just said marc to the doctor say they are still not getting what they need so more to are there. hold is just about just one moment martin let's listen to this. the when this government crisis committee comes out to say we have everything it is not true when they say we have 300000 test kids well that's all very nice to have 300000 kids but those kids must be tested by professionals who know how to do it if not why do you need them so we also have this problem when they say we have 300000 kids daily i can tell you it is not true some are to hey he's talking about not getting a proper kits that they need as you've talked about but also you can see the hallways are overflowing with patients what is being done to get more space for them to to

get new hospitals. yes well we were seen here in the image where i'm living in the epicenter of the of the pandemic how everything started hospitals were overwhelmed were overloaded overcrowded with patients and they had to be all dispatched i mean you have to be all had to be a hospital in one of the main exhibition centers of madrid we've seen hotels medical lines for patients as well all these patients they don't want to be more overwhelmed these emergency units so patients have been diverted to hotels to these exhibition center we've seen how they built tense as waiting to locations all the pet patients outside the hospital new hospitals field hospitals outside the proper hospital so the situation it's reaching its breaking point i think right now in spain it's not about reaching the peak of the earth it's about trying to avoid all these emergency emergency units being overwhelmed yesterday health minister sources

reported that it's not only madrid we're going to see these happening as well in the yard that the lonny are real hot all over nationwide but we need all the states they need sorry the tests they need they need the proper gear to confront this situation all right marta herero with with the the staggering really situation insists pain mark to thank you very much so let's go to lawrence lee he joins us live via skype from london so it's about surf you heard market there she was talking about the efforts in spain to to get even retired medical workers to come back and help for early graduations for medical students and this is happening in other parts of the world as well what is going on in the u.k. to get people to to come in and help because it's really going to take everybody. yes and clearly the u.k. has got the advantage over the desperate situation in spain because we've all know been locked down for a full week today's adults and we too and there's that much time ahead to try to

prepare the health services to stop them from being overwhelmed in the 1st place which is clearly what happened in italy in spain so there's there's there's several things going on at once really there's $20000.00 retired doctors and nurses in the n.h.s. who've said they'll come back. backed up by a full 3 quarters of a 1000000 volunteers from the general population who have signed up to support the n.h.s. underneath it's doing things like deliveries and helping out and all that kind of thing airline staff who are all laid off for the time being easy jet with the latest airline to announce this morning they just stopping all flights completely they've been asked by the hospitals if any cabin crew have 1st aid training to go and volunteer at these huge new hospital units that are being built in convention centers around the country so yeah it's it is becoming a big team effort and as well as that there's an amazing advances now going on in the engineering world a whole consortium a very big companies people like siemens and rolls royce and ford comes together to

build their mechanical ventilators they reckon they can have $10000.00 produced within of the next well week or 2 and even more amazingly a team of engineering experts and medical experts from university college london teamed up with the sadie's the formula one car maker to build a machine from scratch in the course of a week called a c. pap machine is basically much smaller than a ventilator but it forces air down people's throats but in a much less invasive way than ventilators and they think they're going to be producing a 1000 a day of these in the week or so and that will take a huge amount of pressure off the health service and the other thing as well which is the advantage over spain is that the hospitals aren't overwhelmed yet it's not clear whether london has reached a peak but at the moment hospitals in london are not at capacity so you know lock downs locked down and it's pretty miserable for a lot of people books it's the signs here at the moment at least are nothing like

as bad as they are in other countries ok aren't they were there from london thank you very much lawrence. so most countries really have not reached their peak but surprisingly the focus of this epicenter where this all started things are slowly getting back to normal businesses are up and running again this is in china's hu a province which you know you reports from beijing. 2 months 11000000 people living in what they've been confined to their homes and residential compounds literally barricaded up now some of those people are starting to leave their homes they're giving permission if they have a job and some essential industries have also started operations for example the car industry the cement in the steel industry and roads have opened up as well as morals and stores people are able to go inside as long as they have their temperature checked 1st and they're wearing masks the subway has also reopened as has the train station they have been thousands of people streaming into city

starting from the weekend but outbound travel is still restricted until april the 8th now since the beginning of the epidemic more than 50000 people in one city have been infected and there have been more than 2500 deaths and as a result the chinese government implemented some of the most draconian measures in that city and now in recent days we've seen almost 0 new local transmissions and the government says that those measures have been working it's also brushed aside any fears of a 2nd wave of infections saying that one city is actually one of the most safe cities in china because people have been locked down under quarantine for such a long time but of course they're all still persistent fears that the government could be under reporting cases because there are just so much pressure to get the local economy going again. now south korea as the latest country to announce cash payments for people affected by the virus rob mcbride reports from seoul. this disaster relief fund is similar in the amount that it hands out to other schemes

that have been announced by other developed countries it basically means that for a family of 4 they're entitled to a one off payment of the equivalent of $820.00 us dollars now to qualify for that it's only families below a certain income level so this is very much aimed at some of the poorest sections of society some of the poorer families who've been hit hardest by the economic impact of this outbreak in announcing these details the finance minister has reiterated basically what everybody here in south korea has known for weeks now that the economy has really been slammed by the coronavirus all sections of the economy and in particular this is a to try to help some of the more vulnerable parts of the economic activity here such as restaurants such as family owned stores small businesses all aimed at trying to revive the economy it comes to

a total of just over $10000000000.00 and at the same time that this has been announced president moon j.n. of south korea has also announced that there will be a supplementary budgets to try to help the economy at a national level now there was earlier this month a 2nd supplementary budget was passed now there's going to be another one that wasn't enough and so in total that with this latest announcement this means tens of billions of dollars are now being directed by the south korean government as it now looks beyond the health emergency trying to tackle some of the economic fallout of all of this. zimbabwe has to get a 3 week lockdown to prevent the spread of covert 19 security forces have been deployed to enforce the restrictions but there are concerns about the government's ability to fight the pandemic because of its struggling health sector one person has died 7 others are and affected. harare and says it's the poorest people who will suffer the most while these restrictions are in place. the fuel stations

a lot of people are concerned with how the hospitals are going to manage for example the nurses association of zimbabwe feel they are not going to go to work because they don't feel they don't have the glove they don't have the mosque and a. still ahead on al-jazeera trying to save lives and. government efforts to contain the human and economic impact of the virus. where were you when j.f.k. was shot where were you when you landed on the moon and where were you when corona virus is happening and all of my own interesting story to tell him in years to come . the global health emergency has put a lot of people out of work but it has been proud of the nasa space program just yet.

a westerly disturbance of course western disturbance of course and that's going to face some very heavy rain in here for much of india on shoes day it is latif on a dry as he wanted to show is over towards addition for a time drivers who go wanted to wednesday but the wet weather continuing for the north. i easily test treats and trace frank assessments why is it it's only struggling to cope with the number of coronavirus failure to take really aggressive action we put them behind her informed opinions it's going to be much more challenging in a place like haiti where there is one ventilator 3000000 people in depth analysis of the day's global headlines as india done enough to nip the spread of throat of ours in the inside story on al-jazeera.

the top stories right now on al jazeera new numbers just released from spain show its death toll has risen by 812 and the past 24 hours so now more than 7300 people have died since this outbreak began also more than 12000 health care workers have been infected. and china some people are going back to work and move on where the virus was 1st detected city spent under strict strict quarantine that is for 2 months and zimbabwe has begun and permitting its 3 week walk down to prevent the spread of coping 19 security forces have been deployed to enforce the restrictions . and the u.s. president has backed away from his initial comment about reopening the country for

business by mid april he also suggested that shortages of mask and other equipment are due to doctors and nurses stealing them from hospitals reports. so empty beaches are a sign of the times in southern california as most residents follow a statewide stay at home border. 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 so. picture i don't see how you get past that kerr without seeing thousands of people pass or 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 this 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 an 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 122-230-0000. 122-0000 masks 230-0000 even though this is different something's going on. and you ought to look into it as reporters were 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 is daily briefings were getting great television ratings higher than some popular reality shows rob reynolds al-jazeera. australia is again ramping up efforts to contain the virus even as the infection rate there does slow for a midnight public gatherings will be restricted to 2 people and some states are
