a state of disaster after cases increased includes a nighttime curfew and limitations on travel shopping and recreation. from 6 pm tonight i'm declaring a state of disaster across victoria this will be in addition to the state of emergency that has operated throughout this means that police and others have additional powers we can suspend various acts of the parliament we can make sure that we get the job done and there's no question about the enforceability and the why in which new rules will operate south africa has confirmed more than half a 1000000 cases it's the worst hit country on the continent an expert say the peak is yet to come more on those stories shortly but 1st the vehicle pollen has more from hong kong the latest restrictions there. government has taken

a strong most drastic measures yet when it comes to social distancing only 2 people can gather at any point also restrooms and each trees are not allowed to serve in the evening people are allowed to dine in and everyone need to mosques where the mosque whether they're in a public place indoors or even outdoors or they'll be fine but perhaps one of the biggest efforts we've seen has been this weekend with the opening of a makeshift hospital providing $500.00 beds for those with mild symptoms at the airport to the expo site to choose to be used for exhibitions and showcases which now of course is no longer or has been empty for quite a while and in addition to that for extra help mainland professionals are coming to hong kong to help out with that makeshift hospital in fact 7 of them have already right arrived they're going to be part of a 60 strong team to help with the makeshift hospital and help with testing and along with that another 6 argue to arrive from rouhani and if you recall that was

restrictions and probably just under 2 weeks with mandatory mask wearing in melbourne but there have been a lot riding that day a number of cases and i think there were concerns that things weren't coming under control so they had to do something more extensive throughout the world we've seen that complacency and i think that he has become an issue with co-creator that outbreak has dragged on and on australia has been no exception i guess a poignant example will be that a few days ago authorities knocked on the doors of people who had been diagnosed with car not clearly car really being diagnosed covert and they were meant to be self isolating and about a quarter of those doors that were knocked on did not have those people there so despite having to cope with they were not at that house and that is not great concert. calls for the israeli prime minister to step down a growing louder for
