state start to reopen is the country's death toll passes 50000. and their list rating how to get the message across we need are just highlighting the dangers of paving 90 and one of the world's most crowded places. so 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 government in beijing says it's detecting mostly imported cases and the only 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 home in hong kong sarah clarke says there is growing skepticism about the information coming from china. 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 its delhi 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 and in particular the focus is now looking at the north of china and the province knows how long jiang this is a province that borders russia and these are the chinese nationals returning from russia and returning from china from russia as a result they're 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 for people returning to china or a number of countries have long been questioning the transparency of the figures because one of the modeling of the numbers that are coming out of china we had a university pipe it 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 china's numbers they reported in their particular document that more than 232000 people may

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 by the the national health commission back in back in 55th and says they reported 55000 so it's a very big difference between those particular figures the latest numbers we've got coming out of china $83000.00 cases of crying a virus and that's also low when you compare them to the likes of europe and parts of europe and north america and now a number of countries are also questioning or looking for an investigation into the outbreak of the origin of this particular outbreak in china and we've got the likes of the united kingdom has 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 while the nation they were in china is getting back to business shops cafes and restaurants are reopening because vietnam uses restrictions on movement the country has been praised for successfully containing the outbreak it's reported

through. a 100 cases with no deaths and no new cases for a week to act quickly by putting tens of thousands of people in quarantine and using contact tracing and testing. vietnam strategy in the fight against covert 19 was remote and focused on early prevention before the pandemic vietnam quickly contained a virus and stopped it from spreading to other communities on top of that the government and the ministry of health implied measures including isolation and medical treatment india is easing restrictions for its 1300000000 people in lockdown shops selling non-essential goods can now open but only at 50 percent capacity areas considered infection hotspots such as larger stores and malls they'll stay shut and health officials have reported nearly 25000 cases and 775 deaths on friday they recorded the highest one day increase in factions but to a more cautionary note out of asia especially as countries around the world debate

when to relax lock down restrictions a country wide curfew has been reimposed in sri lanka until monday at the earliest because of another surge in cases there are restrictions had been relaxed and what were considered low risk areas outside the capital of colombo there are 420 cases and 7 people have died speak to him an alpha members who joins us now from the capital of colombo. sri lanka has reimposed this curfew after the spike in cases so how is it dealing with everything. that's right nic as you can see the roads behind me i'm in columbus suburb called new gate go to a very busy sort of a city street the center of town on a usual day but right now i can literally count the number of people or the vehicular traffic that's kind of going back and forth this is because the authorities have cracked down obviously extended the state of curfew island white now colombo along with 4 of the districts which were identified as high risk anyway

had been under lockdown the curfew that was supposed to be lifted on wednesday has been extended again until next week but even around the country after this huge jump in the numbers detected over the last 48 hours we've seen the curfew extending right throughout the weekend so far we're hearing that it will be definitely in place till monday morning but i did speak to the police spokesman earlier on and he did see that officials are having discussions and consultations to try and figure out a way forward about what to do about the numbers and how and what approach they should adopt in terms of a lockdown the numbers wrong is this indicative reflective of the spread being controlled. basically it depends on who you speak to and how they crunch up those numbers nick basically 420

confirmed cases out of which over 100 have actually recovered and been discharged from hospital so just a little over $300.00 active cases as they're called but there are those within the health sector that say sri lanka should be looking at doing more aggressive testing active testing as they see rather than just targeting locations and areas where cases are detected they say is that more testing across the board should be carried out this country has something like 54 p.c.r. testing the sheens i'm told by sources that all of these machines are not being pressed into service there are 14 government institutions hospitals laboratories that are conducting basically sample testing but there are some of these places that are not running the tests to capacity so as much as the government is got all guns firing in terms of the corona sort of fight back you see behind me

a checkpoint that has been set up by special task force officers of the police you have checkpoints and barricades like this throughout the country where all vehicle movement people are being stopped and asked what they're doing on the streets essentially the armed forces are going about this in terms of fighting the pandemic yesterday we had one entire navy camp locked down after more than 60 sailors had been detected as being positive they believe that they had been taking part in an operation to crack down on drug addicts who were supposed to be positive and saw so courted but we don't know so it is basically a work in progress but so far fingers crossed the numbers seem to be being held under control or at manila thanks very much to do this picture from colombo intrude on communal fernando's. the death toll in the united states it's gone past 50000 in

the was coded 1000 outbreak anywhere state of new york is the hardest hit and the governor andrew cuomo has warned that reopening the economy too early in any american state 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 unlike new york some states under republican leadership in the southern us the easing restrictions in georgia businesses like gyms and has a loans they've reopened and that's despite warnings from the medical community and he has this report. but the 313 store in marietta the doors are

open for the 1st time in weeks following controversial guidance from the state's governor non-essential businesses have been given the green light to get back to some kind of normal despite the continued threat of the coronavirus the owners here are taking employees back on a voluntary basis and making sure health checks are in place and the stick is that we're using it for on 3rd street basically 3rd for shipping results and the letting all of our service workers know that there had been no problem in the missouri river the. park was because of that and still some restrictions have been lifted on businesses like father's gyms and tattoo parlors despite data from health experts advising the state not to reopen until at least the end of june restaurants are being given the go ahead to open on monday but many business owners remain skeptical even with gloves this this this virus stays on the gloves if it's really

not every class you pick up no one feels safe no one feels that it's yet a good thing to do and not happy about brian camp president donald trump a staunch supporter of georgia's republican governor brian camp disagrees with the move despite the loss of income many business owners say they're not a quick to open their doors again our number one. thought during this whole process is health and safety it's not money because money wall eventually show up ahmad. i'm a firm believer in that but it's just if something happens to someone we can't replace people in neighboring south carolina 2 of the close contact businesses a cautiously reopening with the republican governors blessing here in florida precious also mounting this state to is run by a republican governor and some within his party want to see businesses open again all than a 1000000 people of filed for unemployment here and business leaders are becoming increasingly vocal local officials want to see parks and public spaces open by as

early as next week the governor says any easing and restrictions should be done carefully and methodically a small but growing protest movement is adding to pressure an already beleaguered southern states but as yet the science based data suggest patience is key to gallacher al-jazeera. we have much more on the coronavirus crisis coming up on al-jazeera including fighting for their lives prisoners' rights in argentina saying they fear for their health. during a pandemic. it. was. top of the pops the war veteran who captured british hearts now has a number one it was.

polls. and again you're watching al-jazeera a reminder of our top stories this hour and that china has gone 10 consecutive days without reporting any deaths over $900.00 the original source of the global pandemic is now detecting mostly cases many of know the transmission of. an island wide curfew has been reimposed controlling her until monday at the earliest because of another surge in cases are restrictions had been relaxed but with considered low risk areas outside the capital colombo. death toll in the united states has passed 50000 but some states in the south are easing restrictions new york's governor is warning reopening to early anyway will be dangerous.

inmates at a prison in argentina have staged a rooftop demonstration demanding more protection from covert 19 that's after god tested positive. reports from outside the jail and one of their. they default a prison in the city of one a site has taken over in mates. hundreds of them on the rooftop of the only prison in the city. we need help we don't want to die here they said we're not animals. one guard tested positive in the past week and prisoners say they fear for their lives water and electricity has been cut off. the prisoners say there are many who have chronic diseases and need to be put under house arrest prisons in argentina already have a history of overcrowding and lack of sanitation as in this one we've been seeing the prisoners throwing rocks and the police responding use or rubber bullets were

also heard several explosions inside and rest has been on the rise in prisons in this country as inmates are fearful of the spread of covert 19. the inmates relatives came to show their support they want their loved ones released they tried to cross the cordoned area the police did not allow them to say of the never go visit my husband has a choice b. and he should be at home right now they're going to kill him and that. was. a federal court in argentina recommended granting house arrest to prisoners convicted for nonviolent crimes or sentenced to less than 3 years behind bars due to the risks of coronavirus pandemic. the measure was questioned by relatives of crime victims this is not the only prison affected there are at least 8 others were inmates are on hunger strike. coronavirus is

a major test for governmental lead in america prisons are just one of the many challenges ahead. and when a scientist. where the interior minister has been replaced as the country struggles against a pandemic colors more and admitted $1300.00 members of the police tested positive for the virus and there's growing anger at the scale of the heartbreak with medical workers demanding better pay and more protective care approves a report of more than 20000 cases and 634 deaths. despite being the worst affected country on the planet the united states will not be part of an initiative launched by the world health organization global leaders have pledged to speed up development of a krohn of artifacts in and what's been hailed as a landmark collaboration our diplomatic editor james bass has this report it's just the place you would have expected in previous times to have seen u.s. leadership in a global crisis and world leaders coming together with

a response the idea of this event to coordinate the search for a vaccine testing and treatments for covert 19 and to make sure all the widely available the world needs distort and it needs them fast. but it's the experiences stored hours that even when tools are available they had been not been equally available to all we cannot allow that to happen it was feared to be maintained it was the most massive probably because efforts in history data must be shared production capacity prepared resources may be wise communities engaged and both takes several sides. i know we can do is i don't we can put people 1st and leaders spoke from all regions of the world technically bringing them all together was a bit of

a challenge you know excellence you have can you hear me now yes yes we can hear you ok germany one of the 4 members of the g. 7 a group of countries that will represented. we're now going to continue to mobilize all countries of the g 7 n. the g 20 for them to back this initiative i hope that we will be able to reconcile the sinister of china and the us because the fight against covert 19 as a common good for humanity this shouldn't be any divisions between countries we need to join forces to win this battle the fact that the world health organization was the host of the event explains why the u.s. didn't take part president trump cut all new funding to the w.h.o. because he claimed the global health body had not been tough enough on china the w.h.o. failed in this basic duty and must be held accountable it's a spokes person for the u.s. mission to the u.n. in geneva where the w.h.o.

is based told al jazeera they'll be no u.s. official participation we were informed of this event last week and we look forward to learning more about this initiative as soon as possible following this event the next phase will be led by the european union in 10 days time they'll be trying to raise 8000000000 dollars to make sure that vaccines testing and treatment are available to everyone james pays out his era of the united nations when is he not from barnard who's a medical doctor and journalist and he says the disparities in health systems around the world and some of the most important issues to overcome in fighting over 1000. for countries the 1st thing they're going to need are ventilators some countries like kenya might have 4 or 5 ventilators i mean you need ventilators you protective gear all of the things the united states has been scrambling to get and the china began to scramble to get in early january you know unfortunately going to

be tragically short in some much of africa once these medications and vaccines are produced in mass quantities you know usually the pharmaceutical companies are pretty good about getting them to those various countries but there's a mad world wide competition now companies and governments are sharing much more than they than they used to ordinarily would but clearly certain companies would want to be the winner in their strong ambling hard to get a vaccine when i was little we had polio and you know one morning you'd wake up and there be somebody playing ball within a football field and then afternoon or evening they'd be in an iron lung and we waited with bated breath we really quite fearful for our lives for a vaccine then and then when he came with with the genesis of him with with the same and of course was like the greatest relief the guru to us miracle of all time so i have great hopes but i really think that the therapeutics will pay off 1st in the vaccines probably are a whole year away. well across europe countries are at odds over lifting lockdowns

some and sending children back to school and reopening small businesses but most industries including the hospitality sector remain totally paralyzed with no end in sight is largely about reports. there is one corner of europe where you can see a reminder of what life used to be like a few short weeks ago in the spring sunshine people in the swedish capital stockholm were carrying on as if the pandemic had never happened sweden has gone against the grain in not closing down restaurants or limiting people's movements much but with over 2000 dead as a worse outcome so far that scandinavian neighbors the government is starting to sound a bit worried about its own guidance you talk to mouth wash will in a coma from as the spring sun appears we seem to be seeing worrying reports about full outdoor terraces in restaurants people in crowded places and we have to take this seriously let me be extremely clear i don't want to see any crowded outdoor

restaurant terraces in stockholm or anywhere else and everyone has to take this on his or her responsibility. germany has the opposite problem under the iconic brandenburg gate in berlin restaurants staged a protest by learning of hundreds of empty chairs because the authorities across the country have refused yet to countenance them reopening despite a far lower death rates than countries like sweden. and unlike sweden germany is continuing this testing opening drive through facilities to trace more and more people ministers insist life can get back to anything like normal until the infection rates drop to the hundreds every day in terms of health care it makes perfect sense but the tension with the demands of business is growing restaurant owners have run out of patience the machine at least one who would understand it's no exaggeration to say the ship panicked imagine your business which is doing. very

well the shutdown from one day to the next it means we don't have less revenue it means we have no revenue but leases and costs continue. to be a consolation but in most countries going out to socialize remains a faraway dream like enjoying the cuisine of the french bistro that too is almost certainly many months away reinsulate be. nothing would be worse than conducting a rushed reopening of restaurants and bars which could then force us to close again i think it would be an immense disappointment not only for the restaurant owners but also for the french people. it's also worth remembering that many of the most vulnerable like the elderly of the spanish city of. couldn't afford to go out to eat even if the option was open to them here the spanish red cross is delivering food instead of the sharp end of the virus keeping people alive remains the priority. lawrence lee al-jazeera a french court has backed

a ruling restricting what an online retailer can deliver during the pandemic it says that amazon must limit deliveries to essential is including health items in food and the company will be fined if it breaches the restrictions on employees $10000.00 people across 6 warehouses in from this in the densely populated gaza strip are widespread outbreak of coronavirus would be devastating so far there are 17 known cases but not everybody is taking the risk seriously so some local artists are printing masks to encourage people to protect themselves you know as this. these are to say danger is inching towards gaza and people need to take precautionary measures against covered $1000.00. so far officials here insist guards are safe from community transmission and they want to keep it that way. they've shut down many aspects of life in one of the world's most crowded places

artists hope drawing on masks will encourage many to wear them in public and raise the level of alert as officials haven't asked the population to cover their faces yet but a growing number of people are. here or we want to draw a colorful happy and joyous shape so people will wear masks to help them as in fiction we're giving them out free and some people are giving us their own masks to draw on. but the difficult financial situation and increasing costs of masts and paint might and during the shift of. we've saved some money and wanted to help those who are poor and out of work but we are facing a crisis now the prices of masks are increasing and they are running out of medicine another challenge is trying to convince people to take the issue seriously by wearing masks border advocate. if it wasn't for this project i wouldn't have won

the mosque in gaza we're not used to wearing masks there are people who are too shy or don't want to look on still some clearly do not feel unsafe more than a dozen covered 1000 infections have been reported in the gaza strip it's home to 2000000 people living in close proximity. it has been under an israeli and egyptian blockade for over a decade that has weakened its health system and palestinians fear they won't be able to cope with a disease that even britchka entries are struggling with. this means preventative measures including physical distancing or even more important. the police say with the weather getting warmer some are heading to the seaside as it's one of the only places left to relax. some say gaza is relatively new number of infections is because it's been cut off from the rest of the world for years but it also means

that if the virus were to spread here it could have a devastating impact on its people. and that he does itto. thousands of people in australia and new zealand have mars the national day of remembrance for soldiers lost in wars and peacekeeping missions. with both countries on the coronavirus lockdowns closed services were held instead of the traditional and sec events which attract large crowds of families were encouraged to stand at the end of their driveways to ensure social distancing when these unions prime minister singh darden stood outside their official residence for a small ceremony the day mousy 915 can lift the landing in northern turkey where thousands of australians and use even soldiers were killed this memorial was also cancelled.
