and security patrols in the philippines as the country rolls out tough measures to enforce coronavirus restrictions. the united states is struggling to contain a rising wave of coronavirus with cases of infections and deaths soaring more than 77000 infections were reported in the latest daily tally another bleak record high when resources in many areas are stretched to the limit and hospitals are in danger of being overrun with patients debate is raging of the mass and whether they should be made compulsory us president donald trump has weighed in on the issue ruling out making them compulsory at a national level. would you consider what you consider a national mandate that people need to wear a mask i want people to have a certain freedom and i don't believe in that no and i don't agree with the statement that if everybody were a mask everything it just appears a doctor felt she said don't wear

a mask or surgeon general terrific guy said don't wear a mask everybody was saying don't worry mask all of a sudden everybody's got to wear a mask and as you know mask has problems too with that being said i'm a believer in masks i think masks are good. you know our top infectious diseases expert dr anthony found she's urging state officials to do everything they can to convince people to wear masks the white house coronavirus task force has identified 18 states as so-called red zones where urgent action is needed i can say as a public health official that i would urge the leaders the local political and other leaders in states and cities and towns to be as forceful as possible in getting your citizen tree where masks masks are important as part of the physical distance physical distancing is the most important but practically when you're living your life and trying to open up the country you are going to come

into contact with people and for that reason we know that masks are really important well face coverings are still only mandatory in a little of a hof of the 50 us states georgia's governor is urging the public to wear mosque but has banned any efforts to enforce it but where government's been reluctant to act the private sector appears to be stepping in major retail chains like wal-mart and target have announced that mosques would be required for anyone shopping in that store as well i white house correspondent kimberly hellcat has more now on why masa become such a contentious issue. well this is a country that is really founded on revolution it's also unique system of government it's not a federal system but instead it's one that has strong states rights so in many ways the united states is like 50 countries all joined together that they're really the local officials have much more power than say the president of the united states when it comes to certain issues that masks are one of them in the state of georgia is really highlighting the confusion when you have

a global pandemic and you have such strong state rights as you played 2 there the governor of the u.s. state of georgia brian kept saying that he supports people wearing masks but at the same time he doesn't believe that people should be forced to do so in fact his lawsuit says that the mayor of the largest city in his state bought of the fact she has overexerted her authority by mandating that and in the midst of all this we have a federal body saying that he urges dr anthony found people to wear a mask because it just makes common sense what we're seeing in the united states in the midst of this confusion by politicians at the local and federal level and the mix messaging is stores taking matters into their own hands for example the latest being 2 very large home improvement chains lowe's and home depot here in the united states saying look at it may be confusing on the outside but when you come in our store you're going to have to wear a mask if you want to shop here and that's what we're seeing in the business

community all across the united states well dr natasha cheeta is an assistant professor of medicine at the johns hopkins university school of medicine she says the mosque issue has become political which is preventing the government from taking action. we have other public health measures such as seat belts which are managed by law and which people do follow and so i think part of the reason this is unfortunately become so political is from mixed messaging from our federal government as well as our president. making it into a political issue unfortunately and that's why i think you can see a fairly clear split in terms of where our place is supporting masking unmasking mandates and where places that are not the u.s. is made up of states which have a fair amount of states' rights i think unfortunately due to our overall lack of leadership from the federal government there has not been a move to have a national unified response and this is left up to the states and you know unfortunately some are some coming to their own pressures from their own political

areas are handling the outbreak now as it spreads its verdict. in the rural majority states the health infrastructure in the rural areas is far weaker and attesting so reliant on backtrace to get better are going to be a bigger challenge of india seeing around $35000.00 new cases and 700 deaths every day even though it's testing more than 300000 people daily that still one of the world's lowest experts believe the actual number of infections could be much higher it's almost certainly under estimated and the question of what the number of underestimation the we feel that it might be underestimated by a factor maybe even between something like going to trinity so in the number of cases altogether no it's across a 1000000 you're probably looking at something more like 20 to 30000000 in the population and maybe that number could be even but despite the rise in cases the indian government remains positive health minister hoshyar then says india has

performed better than any other country in fighting quoted 19 adding that only 2.5 percent of the fictions have resulted in deaths but independent health experts say that number isn't actually not just because of india's low level of testing but the fact that most deaths in the country out medically certified elizabeth purana al jazeera new delhi. a major health center in lebanon most had to lay off hundreds of staff the american university of beirut medical center is a crucial health for the city it has reportedly let go of more than 500 workers mostly from the administrative and nursing departments the university. president had warned of staff cuts due to lebanon's financial crisis and the impact of the coronavirus. so i didn't have a baby daughter who i need to get food water and pay vaccines for i would have left by myself and if i knew that my $100.00 a month salary would bother them i would have left we got the short end of the
