strict lockdown in c.t. they feel mediately return to the old social habits. is 19 years old she's refusing to follow the government's social distancing measures or wear a mask which is now mandatory in public places we want to see people going to pay to now we are free and we don't know when they're going to close everything again and yet some easier just might close your eyes and give it to. the cut on government is trying their best to reach to generations in sending a clear message. that they would like to treat young people as citizens they are citizens like we are like we are all are so we all have their share on this so yes i mean maybe it's a bit harder to get the message through them but i think that the only way to make them feel responsible corresponds to the whole situation because they are historically this message infection rates are very high for those between 18 and 44

years old and the youth are now being blamed with fuelling a so-called 2nd wave president of. the scrub the situation the spiritual he has said that if in the next 10 days the corner virus outbreak is not contained tougher measures will have to be put in place jude law is usually to pick month of the tourist season in catalonia but only 25 percent of the hotels are open and more and more is evasions are being cancelled every day. some restaurants will be open until september those trying to right out of the storm believe what they are witnessing ok. alfonso gomez has worked for 42 years as manager of this restaurant at about a felony and i like the remaining going on we're told markets and restaurants are empty it's very sad to witness never in my life have i seen a situation like this and i'm 65 years old. the spanish government is facing an

uphill task convincing the world that this is a save this to nation and the cop 19 is on the control it's going to be a tough and uncertain summer. but falana so that's the situation in spain germany meanwhile which is dealing itself with a steady rise in cases also wants to make virus tests mandatory for travelers returning from high risk areas dominic kane has more from berlin. for much of the last few days the concern in germany at a federal level but also among the individual states that make up this republic has been the fear of a 2nd wave of coronavirus that's why the federal health minister announced earlier in the week that as of next week that all passengers returning from high risk areas to german airports will have to be tested for coronavirus now the german government

saying that it doesn't want its citizens and people who are resident in this country to travel to 3 specific areas of spain hour ago and got them one year and another doesn't want its citizens residents to travel there because of the risk that the government perceives that exists there right now and as i say the fear here is that people will be unwittingly bringing back coronavirus into this country and perhaps spawning a 2nd wave of corona virus infections here on the scientific side remember the science is something that the government says it has always been following the science well the man who regulates the agency that is collating data the man who leads it from the robert cock institute that's an troubling thoughts for the german population to news conference earlier this is called one of your latest results show that people consider the coronavirus to be a low risk them before also the acceptance of measures such as social distancing has decreased at this point i would once again like to be very clear we ourselves

are largely responsible for determining how the disease will develop in germany please help yourselves all of you continue to respect the rules and then finally there's the political perspective that informs all of this leading conservative politicians of the federal level and specifically in bavaria are looking at what's happening and they are worried about the possibility of a repeat of what happened earlier in the pandemic in other words certainly in bavaria the prime minister their markets are so. he looks a situation that happened in austria where certain places became super spreading venues here is very worried that that might happen again later during the course of this pandemic trying to stop them that's why he says he wants corona virus testing to take place very soon at airports train stations and at motorway areas that border his state and austria question will be what the federal government will do having heard from mr. the world health organization meanwhile has warned against
