a nationwide period of normal working day for all economic sectors is over however the battle against the pandemic is not over its danger remains even in the regions where the situation is relatively safe affairs are rising over a potential 2nd wave of coronavirus infections after a germany report of the diseases spreading faster just days after its lockdown was in the virus is reproduction rate which measures the number of people contracting covered 1000 is estimated 1.07 and that means 100 people in fact 107 others on average more than 7 and a half 1000 people have died of the virus in germany which is much slower than its european neighbors. but many other links evictee is is it's very important for me to again draw attention to the fact that we're entering a new phase of the pandemic it will now be necessary with all the easing of measures to be sure that people stick to the basic rules keeping their distance wearing mouth and nose protection and showing consideration for each other.
1:10 am
that's a fine donald trump has praised his government's efforts to ramp up testing for corona virus is the nation with the world's highest death toll starts to reopen its economy war than 80000 people have now died in the u.s. president says america's testing capacities unlocks an unrivaled and says 9000000 people have been tested for the virus so far and he's announced what he's called a new funds to ramp up capacity even war giving priority to nursing homes. this afternoon i am announcing that my administration is and and we've got this all approved it's all done is sending $1000000000.00 to america's states territories and so this is all been approved we've got it done completed the money is going out this major investment will ensure that america continues to conduct more tests than
1:11 am
any country on earth by far all the money announced my trump isn't new and had already been approved by congress last month our white house correspondent kimberly hackett explains. there's a bit of electioneering going on here because even as you listen carefully to the president's own statement there that money that he was talking about and by the way he blundered his own announcement he said 1000000000 for testing but what he meant to say was 11000000000 that was actually clarified later in the press conference the amount of money that he is announcing if you will was already approved by congress late last month in fact the u.s. president signed it into law under another piece of legislation one of the very large among the many coronavirus packages that have been approved by congress this u.s. president in this white house they can't just drum up the money on their own that's something congress does the president signs it into law so in terms of this money that he says it's already been done yet has already been done there really isn't
1:12 am
anything new here from what i can see in fact i reached out to the press office double check that and i didn't hear back but i think that underscores that essentially this money was already approved by congress it allows the state the various governors to ramp up their testing their lab capacity and this is the president pushing back in an election year to say look at we may have been criticized at the beginning early on in this virus because there wasn't enough testing available but here's where we are right now the president touting it as a success saying that soon every american will be able to be tested but right now that is currently not the case. the world's 2nd oldest airline has filed for bankruptcy of lanka airlines fail to meet a bond payment deadline and its play for a from the colombian government hasn't been heard it's one of latin america's largest air carriers in the coronavirus pandemic has grounded flights across the
1:13 am
region when reports from mexico city. avianca airlines out of bogota colombia could be the 1st major global airline to be taken under by the coronavirus pandemic. on sunday the company of more than 20000 employees filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy. of young guys facing the most on precedent that event in its 100 years of history given the effects of the covert $1000.00 pandemic global passenger traffic is coming in at night percent and he just predicted that the global editor at sector will see a revenue fall of about $314000000000.00 according to the international air transport association avianca is one of the region's largest air carriers but the company's aircraft fleet has been grounded since march the same has been true for most other airlines as governments have been forced border closures and imposed travel restrictions none tougher than argentina were all flights have been banned
1:14 am
until september 1st the impact is being felt from budget airlines to the region's largest carriers there's a growing consensus within latin america's airline industry that by the time the coronavirus pandemic is over airlines will be fewer and the ones that remain will be smaller. for airlines like aero mexico the survival strategy has been to adapt the airline has repurposed passenger aircraft to haul cargo including medical supply runs for the mexican government and turn to more fuel efficient planes like the boeing 7879 aero mexico representatives seem hopeful that a sense of normalcy will return the question is when you look at muscle we optimistic but the recovery would undoubtedly. you ask about normalcy it will be a new normal very optimistic i think this will continue for many more. for the estimated 430000 people who are employed by airlines and airports across latin america the longer flights remain cancelled the higher the anxiety grows aviation
1:15 am
experts however see more optimistic about the preservation of industry jobs i mean the most important point and this is going to depend a lot of the local laws of each country with respect to administration or bankruptcy but an airline that does not survive in its current condition doesn't mean that it goes away it's not the end of air travel the planes are still exist the gate still exists and skilled employees still exist and so it's a question of recapitalizing businesses when an airline fails latin america has only begun to experience the worst of the corona virus outbreak experts warn people getting on planes won't happen overnight it will be a gradual process and will largely depend on how well each country deals with the pandemic. al-jazeera mexico city. what's most a come on al-jazeera including malaysia rounds up undocumented migrants again in an
