especially. children genitives any right here rewind on al-jazeera. be the hero in the world. wash. a milestone in china's fight against covert 90 the original epicenter reports no deaths for 10 days. but i'm glad this is out 0 live from doha also coming up all is quiet again sri lanka the government to reimpose is a nationwide curfew after searching cases. fighting for their lives prison is right

in argentina saying they fear for their health while locked up during the pandemic . and the bond between patient and care families fit not enough is being done to keep people alive in us nurses. so that the original heart of the battle against coronaviruses marcie a significant breakthrough more than 3 months ago china reported its 1st death from the illness now it says it's gone 10 days in a row without any fatalities the government in beijing says it's detecting mostly imported cases and nearly no local transmission of the virus out of 12 new cases reported on saturday 11 were brought in from overseas and despite a ban on foreign nationals imposed late last month there's been a trickle of cases among chinese nationals returning let's go straightaway to sarah clarke who joins us live from hong kong is monitoring the situation so sara tell us what the latest is. well certainly it's

a milestone as far as to the chinese government's concern with regards to no new deaths for the 10th day in a row the national health commission has just confirmed from a study press conference there are 12 new cases of 11 of those cases are actually imported cases so those are the chinese nationals returned to china from various areas they particular focus is now looking at the north of china and the province knows how long this is a province that borders russia and these are the chinese nationals returning from returning from china from russia as a result they put in place and security checkpoints a number of cities in that particular area are also in lockdown and all those new arrivals have been tested they've got mandatory coronavirus testing for those people returning to china that the city at the epicenter of the crowd a virus outbreak in china that is it's reporting that the last of the critically ill have now been discharged or cleared of the crown of our society that's a big step with regards to china's latest figures that the national health

commission chief it's hurling china's efforts as a decisive victory it says its treatment of this particular outbreak is internationally advances or he says he's ready to share china's experiences with those countries now battling the worst of the crisis for a crowd of us outbreak in other countries now i should also report that the milan local press in china is reporting that plane loads of medical support is being shipped out from beijing this is the likes of mosques medicines and ventilators these are going to europe africa parts of asia and north america but of course i should also state that the quality of the supplies being sent from china has been questioned in the past and some countries are even rejecting china's offer of help or a decisive victory they say a lot of dollars is being expressed about the veracity of china's figures that can we trust the. well a number of countries have long been questioning the transparency of the figures that as well as the modeling of the numbers that are coming out of china we had a university pipe that was published in the lancet journal that was early this week

it was written by a hong kong university's school of public health and they questioned at china's numbers they've reported in their particular document that more than 232000 people have been infected with a crowd of us in the 1st wave of the infections in china and that's 4 times more than what china said body the national health commission back in back in 55th that this is they reported 55000 jobs a very big difference between those particular figures the latest numbers we got coming out of china 83000 cases of cried a virus and that's also low when you compare them to the likes of europe or parts of europe and north america and now a number of countries are also questioning or looking for an investigation into the outbreak or the origin of this particular outbreak in china and we've got the likes of the united kingdom is even dropped china's numbers in the international compare comparisons simply because they say they say they can't trust the figures being released by the national health commission out of china on a daily basis or asserts very much indeed that's between trying to circulate

reports from hong kong. nation neighboring china is getting back to business shops cafes and restaurants are reopening in vietnam as the country eases restrictions on movement of the country's been praise for successfully containing the break it's reported 300 cases with no deaths and no new cases for a week to quickly by putting tens of thousands of people in quarantine using contact tracing and testing them given them to call the 82 year old vietnam strategy in the fight against covert 19 was remote and it focused on early prevention before the pandemic vietnam quickly contained the virus and stopped it from spreading to other communities on top of that the government and the ministry of health employed measures including isolation and medical treatment. india is easier traditions for its 1300000000 people in lockdown shops selling nonessential goods can now open but only at 50 percent capacity areas considered infection hotspots such as the largest stores in miles they'll stay shut health officials

have reported nearly 25000 cases and 775 deaths on friday they recorded the highest one day increase in factions. so to a more cautionary note out of asia as countries around the world debate as to relax lock down when you should do that countrywide curfew has been reimposed in sri lanka until monday at the earliest because of another surge in cases restrictions had been relaxed in what were considered low risk areas outside the capital colombo there are $420.00 cases the sri lanka 7 people have died in elephant as joins us now from the capital colombo and el tell us more about the situation in true right . as you can see behind me i'm in a columbus suburb called to go to a usually the sort of city center the street behind me is teeming with people on a saturday afternoon but now it's absolutely deserted bar or you can see over my

shoulder of police a special task force checkpoint a barricade which has been set up there are barricades like this all around the country where the police special task force and the military are keeping an eye on movement of public movement this huge sort of jump in the numbers that we see saw over the last 48 hours has led to the decision to extend the curfew now there were basically 2 belts of curfew a majority of the districts where curfew with ease of the beginning of this week where they only had curfew in the night from 8 pm to 5 o'clock the next morning and 4 districts including the capital colombo continued because the were these were considered high risk but with yesterday's jump in the numbers we're having island wide curfew till monday now bearing in mind 420 cases of which has seen more than 100 people actually recover and be discharged from hospital but at the same time the number of detections in the recent few days going up so cause for concern

remember the numbers all. reflective of the spread being controlled. well nic that depends on who you talk to there are a relatively nor lower numbers particularly when you look at sort of other countries where the pandemic is reaching in the world but this is sort of a combination of factors it is very much sort of a strict process of contact trancing we have the state intelligence services believe it or not who are very very involved in the process of finding of networking and tracing basically the spread of this disease among people we also have a. and you do have people who like this in the middle of curfew need to. make an issue but anyway. we do have cases where there has been criticism that more

testing should be done i spoke to a senior health official who said that active tracing should be stepped up right now we have over 50 p.c.r. machines that can do the testing but it's not all of them that are working to capacity because there's not enough samples that the health professionals are being submitted so there are some health professionals who say that testing should be ramped up obviously the government is going great guns they've deployed the military b. we have a very active service right at the grassroots that is also very much in place in terms of working on the case but there is still more room for improvement according to some of these are professionals because just like yesterday in terms of this huge spike that we saw we saw an entire navy camp on the suburbs of the capital shut down because more than 60 naval personnel had been tested as positive carrying

the disease so these are reasons for concern the government trying all the time and even the shutdown right now having discussions as to when they should be lifted or an elf things to that mill so non-dance reporting from columbus. the death toll in the united states has gone past 50000 in the it was ticketed 19 outbreak anywhere he said in new york is the hardest hit governor andrew cuomo has warned reopening the economy too early and any american states will be dangerous if you say well we're done can't stay in the house anymore let's just reopen just. start business tomorrow let's go what happens that's what happens all the progress we made is gone and all experts or virtually all experts will say not only does the virus spread increase but it

increases to a higher point than we had increased the 1st time well the elderly will be at an even greater risk if this the 2nd responding to infections nursing homes in the united states have already seen death tolls increasing rapidly and relatives and advocacy groups say more testing is needed to control the outbreak in these facilities christensen he reports from new york. they are the most at risk the elderly with underlying medical conditions making nursing homes a frightening place in the midst of a pandemic particularly for family members who aren't allowed to visit like sanders i am just a mere common citizen who doesn't want to see my mother die after 2 months and more than 11000 deaths in nursing homes across the nation she's one of many advocates calling for more testing not just of nursing home residents but also staff. currently west virginia is the only state to mandate such testing one

industry group estimates 2 thirds of long term care facilities don't have access to enough test kits and that the health care workers at which the that work at both places walkable shirts that are kind of like the silent carriers are the virus and unbeknown to them unintentionally they could be spreading out in the state of new york which has seen the most fatalities a quarter have taken place and nursing homes and adult care facilities this one facility the largest in the state has seen 44 of its residents die from fires here staff members have their temperatures check when they report to work but like many possibilities they aren't really tested for the virus the medical director worries his staff will be scapegoated it's heartbreaking that being said the numbers really do need to be put into context we were mandated to take over positive patients right from the hospital as soon as they're stabilize do you think it's

a good idea to have those patients coming in to a term care facility or nursing home facility we were doing our job to help help the hospitals with the surges that they had just that the governor has not backed down from that mandate but has promised an investigation says he says that's not enough there are residents and staff being infected on a daily basis and dying in these nursing homes and public health officials and elected officials are not understanding that they are in a race against the pirates and not only way that they are going to win this race if they test test test a race with so much at stake for families against a virus that is yet to be contained christine salumi al jazeera new york. well more coronavirus coverage come on around here including concerns growing in greece is more solemn seekers test positive for the virus.

top of the pops the war that's really captured british artists now has a number one hit. here the general pattern of weather over a year of the last week hasn't really changed you got cloud coming down through eastern europe from the north it's a newly reasons cold front temp is dropping and you've got these areas a crab tickly in spain portugal the western med has been producing rain and are still producing rain and between the 2 basically it's relatively sunny and relatively warm there's nothing stream in this you might see some pretty big thunderstorms show up around the west met over the high ground of spain where

temperatures are rising out of the teens into the twenty's and there's been some significant rain in france the might be some more cross the pyrenees and southern france on sunday otherwise it's relatively quiet temps was about 5 degrees above normal in this dark plain of europe for example in vienna 2021 degrees but it's a sunny picture or the same very slight wind there's more action along the north coast of africa and once again it's morocco algeria windy cloudy and wet weather temperatures in the teens there algiers $24.00 in fact the strength of wind out of the into valid here is pushing sand and high temperatures up to that northern coast so it's not raining it's probably quite warm but also sunday and tempers are rising in the so how we got. this is in chattanooga typically to 45. i don't think in isolating times the listening post cuts through the noise leave

the looking at another side of the story not the mark the information around the outbreak but the misinformation separating propaganda from fact it's reality and you have to reject. exposing the optics try and if the rhetoric and blame but they cannot manipulate the listening post your insight guide to the media on al-jazeera. you're watching out there are many of our top stories this hour and china has gone 10 consecutive days without reporting any deaths from 1900 the regional source of

police. teaches. people who work in supermarkets etc anyone who's considered an essential worker could also apply online and come down here and get their tests done too but this whole system has fallen over quite quickly while the government might say i'm full of every sort of success but they had to shut down the application process only a few hours after it started because they had too many applicants. more than $400.00 asylum seekers in southern greece have been placed under quarantine in the hotel nearly a 3rd are infected with the coronavirus and those drones were up with reports from porter there are growing concerns of more outbreaks in other refugee camps hugh truck sprays chemicals to disinfect the air around the galaxy hotel 148 asylum seekers and 2 staff members here have tested positive for corona virus most show no symptoms which may be how the disease
