across different states just tell us more about those efforts to slow the spread of the virus. hi kim the state government's trying to slow the spread of the virus as we see yet another record day of both cases and deaths need 35000 new cases in the 8700 more deaths and with the national government completely unwilling to impose a national lockdown like it did in march we're seeing more and more local the lockdown and the territory of go is the latest and went into lockdown on friday just for the weekend but it's also announced tonight could if you from 8 pm until 6 am every day until the 10th of august. is known for its nightlife in the chief minister's said that people are becoming on ruly in the evenings now the perhaps the most significant local lockdown started on thursday in the state of bihar it's not just india 2nd most populous with a population of nearly 130000000 people it's also one of the most impoverished it

has some of the worst public health care in the country and it's also conducting some of the lowest level of tests less than a 10th of the number of tests that are conducted in. concerning because there were a very large number of migrant workers who returned to the states when the national lockdown was imposed in the march nearly 2500000 people who worked outside the state who lost their jobs returned to be hard traveling in both very difficult often hundreds of kilometers and also very unhygienic conditions elsewhere in the country we have the major cities of ben going to do today both of which i t. and manufacturing hubs not just for huge national but also international companies says he's a bit of an on the food i'm glad to see many parts of she and i go in and even minister to push made many areas of the state of west bengal were all under

lockdown to try to break the chain of transmission just try to stop this rise in cases that we're seeing now. and even so even with these numbers so-called air bubbles being introduced with a few different countries tell us about that. yes so the government announced that they have created after negotiations with various countries what they're calling air bubbles the 1st is between india and the u.s. flight stop today between india and the u.s. and tomorrow between india and france they for 2 weeks now since march they have been no international commercial flights into india they have only been repatriation flights with something like nearly 700000 indians have been brought back and these repatriation flights have been somewhat of a bone of contention especially by the u.s. government to threaten to take action against india didn't want indian airlines to have the monopoly over these flights and so what the government is saying is that

these what cools air bubbles are the next step off the repatriation flights it's also having negotiations with the u.k. with germany they're going to add more flights of conditions allow and and if there's demand of the not a free for all you have to have valid you know whether it's work or residency visas to actually take these flights but nonetheless they are the the government says the next step after repatch relation and the step before going back into restarting international commercial flights which they'd like to do later down the line so the central government very much opening reopening continuing with its reopening despite despite the rise in cases i think that elizabeth brown and there live from new delhi. it is a meeting in brussels for the 1st time in months to negotiate a plan for economic recovery from covert $9860000000000.00 package is and pulling

people to wear face masks or seeing that cases so that everyone can adopt the practice of wearing a face mask for the next 4 weeks we will be able to get coburn 1000 under control. but in georgia the governor is going to court to ban cities and municipalities making masking in public compulsory camps says local orders can't be more restrictive than measures he's put in place his team only strongly are just the winning of. the governor has taken a formal position on mass in the state of georgia so well whatever the motivation is i think that at the end of the day we all have to do the right thing because it's the right thing to do and what the scientists are telling us is that the right thing to do is to wear a mask mask are not a political statement mask are a public health to

a necessary public health to. the state of georgia can t. used to send mixed messages to everyone that lives here cases are no surging in 40 of the 50 states hospitals are being stretched to the limit we were previously seeing about one in 10 or even one in 8 of our tests that we were doing in the community they were coming in back now we're seeing one inch or so about 25 percent of all the tests that were doing which we've also ramped up but we're seeing more of those that are coming back which concerns us for increased transmission in the community the u.s. government centers for disease control recommends wearing a mask as do most medical professionals but it's only mandated in about half the states many retailers have their own policies no mask nor service but that's what some angry reactions putting one customer drawing a gun in florida you know new york governor andrew cuomo has enlisted one of the
