a logical disaster. fernandez, looking at the mammoth cleanup ahead of soccer, pulls out of the french open, slightly concerned about her mental health in many southeast asian nation as that was seen as corona, of our success success stories on now being forced to impose new restrictions as infections such to record levels, malaysia is among the worst hit. it's imposed a 2 week nationwide. total lockdown starting on tuesday, only 17 essential. so the sectors are allowed to operate vietnam, which managed to keep infections low as seen cases more than double in the past month. it's suspended international flights into holloway. also have you been city where a plan is to test all my 1000000 people. and thailand has delayed plans to ease restrictions. it's capital. there's also been a rise in cases in southern china,

travel restrictions have been imposed in its most populous province going dawn, and in one neighborhood of the provincial capital going, jo, which has been put into locked down. that's gonna lived out of corner lumper will start without 0 south florence louis. so the country starts going at a total lockdown from tomorrow. well, from today tuesday, i'm a gin and the government says this is necessary to prevent the collapse of a health care system. that's already under severe strain. so now only essential services and sectors are allowed to operate at reduced capacity. and even then people want to go into work have to have a letter from the relevant ministry to show that they do belong in one of the allowed sectors. and schools also shut and only 2 persons per household are allowed out to obtain essential items within a 10 kilometer radius from their home. now,

the government says that one of the reasons for the surgeon cases is because of the more infectious strains of the corona virus. but it's also been made was by people reaching pandemic regulations and attending gatherings because of the muslim festival of ede. this was in mid may. and of course it doesn't help that vaccination rates in malaysia is still relatively low. i think only about at least 3 and a half percent have received one dose of the vaccine. what about percent of the population later? what about the rest of the reason we're talking about countries here that adults so well with the, with the 1st wave of the virus? what's going wrong? well, i think across a her as a whole on average vaccination rates are also quite low. it's about 22 percent of the population on average, who receives at least one dose of the vaccine. so that's one factor. now another

reason could be sensitive complacency, tie one for example, which handled or which contained the virus so well last year and the early part of this year as well. now, it started to relax requirements. people also grew more complacent and requirements were relax, for example, for quarantine non vaccinated pilots, which initially had to court, who initially have to quarantine for 14 days. so the quarantine period reduced to 5 days and then to 3 and that led to an airport cluster. now in singapore, similar similarly, it was airport comings and goings that lead to a cluster. and then in vietnam, the health minister says they've discovered a more infectious hybrid very and a combination of the u. k. and indian varian. although the government says more studies need to be done on this, so there are several factors at play. and so what governments have done is to really impose much stricter restrictions. and we're seeing this start to work. for example, in singapore, where the prime minister has said, you know,

the lockdown that's been imposed, hoping to be able to ease instructions in the coming 2 weeks. and of course, what has happened now is also government. and i'm realizing that there's a need to ramp up vaccination, so that doing that, vietnam has set up a special fund for vaccinations to procure vaccines. and it's also looking to buy a vaccine production technology and set up its own plant. florida. 20 thanks. i was here is florence louis the reporting live from quite a lumper. ashi clements is a professor of infectious diseases at cook university. he says that the world will have to keep taking precautions until enough people of vaccinations. every region of the world is experiencing a different trajectory, different history of the carpet. it appears that at the moment stuff is dangerous. one region of the world that is experiencing larger outbreaks. i think this is pretty much what we're going to be stuck with until we get high levels of coverage and populations with effective vaccines. up until that point, we have to, you know,

we'll have to be vigilant. we have to be doing good surveillance. we have to us communities, we have to come together and accept maybe restriction border controls. the uses personal protective equipment masks, etc, practicing good. hi jay. we will be stuck with this. and so, until we get high price coverage, it's actually the only way out so far, all of the evidence suggests that the vaccines that are effective against the kind of research letting strengths say, kind of it for the bar, it does me tight. but nowhere near is to know whether the extremes of influenza, for example, wait aid, entirely new back to the vaccines. the deal with nice trying to say emerge and spread around the world. so it might be that the next things that we have available to us may help us as a global community get on top of the however, things can change and it's quite predictable. the bar surprised scientists regulations to the baton that it originally emerged. bangladesh is also dealing

locked down until the end of the month. it allows businesses, restaurants on public transportation to operate under strict regulation and guidelines in order to keep the economy moving despite the health risk. despite the uncertainty created by coby 19 thoughtless pride bank, this is economy is still poverty and is showing early signs of recovery. however, according to a new world bank report, much will depend on how fast mass vaccination can be achieved. 2 often people have no choice but to continue working. they have to go on with their daily life and go out, but they must take the required precautions. more than 8 percent of people tested in bangladesh, got it positive results, but health authorities say that figure could be as high as 40 percent in areas that are close to the border with india. they high in picture, red india. what is the infection? was it the region it is going slowly up in the district as joining india?

also, there are some districts within bung of ish pato border. there also showing the increase in just what we do. red banner that she is facing difficult is conducting its mass inoculation program. because of a shortage of those, if only a little over $9000000.00 jabs of the oxford estrogenic vaccine have been administered so far in a population of $165000000.00, the government is now looking for an alternative source for supplies. but health experts that concern some bangladesh as population many living in property may be forgotten about if they're not provided with adequate assistance and vaccine, then it's feared the rate of transmission of the virus good spiral out of control. done with child re, i'll just say dhaka, bangladesh. so i can authorities have begun a criminal investigation into a cargo ship fire that's responsible for one of the countries was ecological disastrous. firefighters still battling the place now into it's 12 day vessel was

that blaze agent. and in terms of the communities here, they had been essentially having trouble, obviously, with things that corona locked downs and restrictions livelihoods had been affected . and when they couldn't go out to see, obviously that really, really affected most communities, the sort of day to day income, particularly the smaller boards that essentially find the living, the eco to living in terms of the daily sort of phishing sort of produce. yesterday . however, we're hearing that the state minister of fisheries came, did meet with some of the communities. and there has been a somewhat, an easing of restrictions on some of the votes they have been allowed to go out to sea. but at the same time being given an area to avoid a fishing within. but there is some sort of dispute within the different sort of

factions or different groups within this community. because not everyone agrees with this decision to go out to see. but obviously where, you know, your family is hungry and you need to put food on the table. you know that, that is the primary consideration. and for many of those who did take that risk and ventured out, basically that's what their motivation has been. the ship itself is still on fire now and a criminal investigation has been launched into the cause of it. that's right. essentially we're still seeing flames smoldering on board. we're hearing from the navy from the air force as well as the environment authority is that the sort of intense blaze seems to have died down, but this still pockets the flames that can be seen 5 hurting operations continue. i
