more would normally have been packed or new year's eve, but infections have searched since the government abruptly reversed it. 0 cove, it policy, and that's put a damper on celebrations or the toiletry was horrible cold lot. i hope the panoramic goes away in 2023 and a country goes back to normal. what i see at home, the whole of last year, the painting is horrible. i hope i don't have to stay at home this new year in hong kong. the mood is decidedly different. nearly all cove, it requirements were removed on thursday. people out to party and hoping for a better year ahead. good man, bring hong kong back. yeah. we hope that hong kong is going to be back to its former glory. why? how cold it goes away earlier cuz it's affecting everybody. so yeah, the like the only indication cove it is still a concern. here are these face masts are mandatory in all public faces even outdoors. but to all china and hong kong have relaxed cove. it ruins of the

countries are fearful of another wave of infections and have placed restrictions on visitors from these places. and some health experts say the increased cases in china could lead to the development of new variance of the virus. florence li, al jazeera hong kong. let's speak to dr. william shatner. he's a professor of infectious disease, vanderbilt university medical center, and the medical direct at the national foundation for infectious diseases. he joins us from nashville. thank you for joining us. do you think the response that we're seeing from some countries in the west to chinese citizens entering their countries is justified even necessary? actually, i think it's quite prudent to do believe because the concern is that was so much multiplication of the virus. as you say, there's a huge surge of infections in the chinese population that kids, the virus,

the opportunity to mutate. and it could possibly mutate into a new variance variance that could be the protection of our current vaccines and therapeutics. and because the chinese government is not providing the world's scientific community, the genetic information about viruses, currently circulating and china. the thought is we had best test everyone to make sure that they're negative. before they come to this part of the world. that will bias a little time in the event that there is a new variance of concern that is emerging in china. i guess there might be people wondering what the logic of this really is because most of us have been living with cove it around us for some time. now. yes, please understand this is not to just keep cases of coveted out. that's right.

that's like asking somebody not to pour a glass of water into your swimming pool. we have plenty of coven here. the concern is about do variance. if the chinese government provided information on the genetics of these variants that are now circulating in china, i think they would be less concerned around the world. but once again, they are withholding scientific information. why are they doing that a thing? ah, i'm afraid i am not an expert in chinese psychology. perhaps a sense of local pride concerned that they were the source of the original coded and they don't wish once again to be the source of another new variant. i really don't understand. i wish we could work together or thoroughly as an international community, scientifically,

to combat bees and to mix as they arise. dr. is there a scenario where you see us ending up back where we started with the majority of countries closing off their borders and going back in to look down? well, this is the worst case scenario lane, and that is if there is a new variant of concern that is completely different from the viruses that are now out there. here in the united states, for example, if this new variant we couldn't protect ourselves from our current vaccines. yes. then we would have to start all over again. create a new vaccine and racks and everybody around the world once again with no actually . that's the worst case scenario. we have to prepare for that, but we hope that that won't happen, hasn't happened yet. as we say. i fingers crossed, wishing from blue book in the new year. happy new year to you. really good to speak

a 1000 goals later. and 3 woke up that he was, you can see there's actually in this museum, a floor dedicated to each of the woke ups. and i asked one of the people that had traveled here to, to see this museum. what made him so special, there's been a lot of great plays and a lot of great brazilian plays. and he just pointed to 3 of the stalls i'm is brazilian. and said, who else is 13 woke up, but for a lot of people in brazil, he was more than that. they referred to him as someone who unified the country. someone that everyone seemed to be able to get behind because he kept it simple. he was seen as keeping it reasonably humble, and he was seen as someone that spread joy through some difficult times. in brazil, most of the time he was playing the country, had a military government military dictatorship which you play through. so if you come a little bit further this way as well,
