to transmit the virus. and, yes, staying alert for the vast and all the time, the disease is still spreading. less rapidly than before, majority of people still means but it is out there. so is it the right time to relax staying at home as much as possible. the lockdown as many are hoping? the numbers being admitted south korea closes all bars to hospital are down and the rate of infection has fallen, and clubs in seoul after dozens what's called the r number. of new coronavirus infections. but inside care homes the epidemic is declining much more slowly and across the uk it's a complicated picture. welcome. in aberdeen, things were still very quiet today. in scotland, wales and northern ireland, the infection rates are higher let's take a look at the situation than in england, so getting back in parts of europe where lockdown to something like normal will not conditions are being eased in several countries, happen at the same speed including france, germany and spain. or in the same way. businesses are starting to reopen and children david shukman, bbc news. are heading back to school. let's turn to china now where disneyland has reopened in shanghai. as countries enter new phases of dealing with the pandemic, here you can see people arriving governments are working out how there after a four—month shutdown. they can balance giving vistor numbers have been reduced people more freedom, to allow for social distancing while continuing to limit the spread of the virus. and as you can see people are having their temperature checked upon arrival. other disney theme parks around spain's foreign minster spoke the world remain closed. to the bbc about the gradual it comes as china has seen declining steps her country is now taking virus cases for weeks and has been out of lockdown. gradually easing restrictions. we start today. but the authorities are still working to stop further transmission we hope to end by the 30th ofjune, of covid—19 with some reported new cases. and we'll walk through a gradual here's a spokesman from china's national health commission. opening of social contacts, translation: in the past 14 days, new local cases have been reported and the number of shops, businesses and so on. local cluster infections continues

to rise. we need to identify the —— we will work through. but also, asymmetric. source of the infections and their some parts of the country are in a better position to move routes, trace and manage all close faster than other parts of the country. contacts, treat patients in always, always looking isolation and keep them under at data related to the observation. this way we can cut the progression of the pandemic. transmission chain for some. and data related to the capacity of our health care system in wuhan — where the covid—19 to confront new cases. outbreak is thought this is why we will do this to have originated, five new locally—transmitted cases of the virus have been confirmed, gradually, responsibly, and — and in total 17 new cases were registered across china with a lot of prudence — the highest number in a fortnight. putting people and our correspondent robin brant has their health first. more on the situation in wuhan. five new cases being reported there. some hotels in spain have been granted special permission to reopen apparently, this around one housing compound and apparently, providing they follow strict it's linked to an 89—year—old man social distancing guidelines. here's one hotel manager in madrid. who first fell ill with this translation: health and safety measures are being taken both for the employees and the guests new type of the virus back in march. who come to the hotel to ensure that he stayed at home, we're told, everything will go smoothly. wasn't treated at hospital, but since then, there have been from when they enter a number of cases related to that at the check—in area, there is safety distance, compound in the double digits. masks, disinfectant gel for both in the last 24 hours, we're seeing five new reported cases employees and customers, here at that single compound. and there are some security screens so, in wuhan — remember the city that stayed in lockdown for 76 days, to avoid any contact with the virus. it's been open to the world
9:03 pm
for about a month now — france is starting to lift but a spike there, a resurgence, many of its restrictions after one the case number is very small of the longest lockdowns in europe. but nonetheless, it will be hugely concerning because it is new, fresh cases emerging domestically. most shops and businesses have reopened after almost two months of lockdown. but there's been no rush to use public transport as large let's speak to zhaoyin feng from the bbc‘s chinese numbers of people continue service in washington. to work from home. our correspondent, hugh schofield, sent us this update from paris. good to see you. how concerning our after exactly eight weeks of lockdown, this these new cases? it is quite is what de—confinement means in paris. concerning in short. a week ago in the cinemas, two months old posters of films that have china designated all regions as low long been forgotten. on the champs—elysees, some traffic. or medium risk for covid—19. now we at the vuitton store, are seeing on these small coasters a small line of people. and in the metro, some coming of new cases in the country couldn't and going with posters up saying what we mentioned, wuhan, once the that people have to wear masks and please avoid the rush hour. epicentre of the pandemic. it had if borisjohnson is looking not recorded cases for over a month to france for some kind of guidance but now the first small cluster about what it looks like to come out of lockdown on a given day set emerged after the lockdown measures in advance as a deadline, we re emerged after the lockdown measures were lifted and all of these later then this is something of a clue. if you also tell people cases, they were previously that they should really continue as far as possible, classified as asymptomatic meaning
9:04 pm
stay working from home and to come they were testing positive for the out only cautiously, then people will follow that virus but were not showing any because this is not a big return clinical signs such as a cough or a to what it was like before. it's a very gradual, fever. and now the wuhan local very partial return to activity. authorities are currently closely in germany, politicians have monitoring hundreds of similar cases expressed concern that conspiracy theories are helping fuel and for the country of china, the anti—lockdown protests seen over rise of such hard to detect cases the weekend in several cities. has sounded an alarm. the country infections appear to be on the rise in germany, just days after chancellor angela merkel says it is taking all measures to announced an easing of lockdown restrictions. prevent coronavirus from reentering china from overseas and from for more on that here's jenny hill in berlin. the news over the weekend re—emerging within the country by is that the reproduction rate of the virus has risen taking measures like ramping up above the value of one. contact tracing and testing efforts. statistically speaking it means for every person who has the virus, just reassure us, what is the level they will pass onto one of person of confidence that people have in and it is being used by a lot of countries as a determining factor the numbers, indie statistics coming to see just how likely that virus of china? we see the measures taken is to spread exponentially. the general acceptance is below one, the virus is under control. by the government right after all above one, it becomes a problem. these new cases are recorded. these it's risen above one twice over the weekend. are certainly on —— they are
9:05 pm
on the face of it you'd think that's certainly on high alert for some in cause for huge alarm and yes, the government, scientists, wuhan, there is another city in experts are worried but it is also worth pointing out that this northern china near the russian reproduction rate is based on data border where there are new reported which is relatively old. cases and the government immediately so, it doesn't really reflect closed down all public places like the situation at the moment. it's also a figure which tends to fluctuate a lot and scientists here say actually, those cinemas or libraries. people are fluctuations increase the lower the number of actual cases, lockdown again, the order to stay at and the number of new daily cases here is continuing to fall. home except for absolutely necessary needs. and from these measures, you here in the uk the government has been clarifying the rules can tell the chinese government is on relaxing its lockdown, after announcing new not trying to be too optimistic over measures yesterday. in the past hour the prime minister the pandemic. the state broadcaster borisjohnson explained the new rules for england in the daily coronavirus briefing, also interviewed an expert on here's what he had to say. infectious diseases and because of that, the pandemic... if it is what we are saying is you can go to the park to exercise on your own certainly compared to sars, which we know very in an unlimited way. you can go with members little about covid—19, so people of your own household. should be fair to fight and long and tough fight. thank you.
9:06 pm
but if you want to meet somebody from outside your household, let's go to russia where it's got to be you and that other president putin has announced person just as a pair and you should a gradual lifting of coronavirus restrictions from tuesday, despite a steady daily rise observe social distancing in the number of cases. russia has registered a record while you are there and it should increase of more than 11,000 cases basically be a one—on—one thing but with social distancing. in the past 24 hours alone and is now the third—most affected it is very important for people country in terms of infections. to exercise whenever they can. here's mr putin in his televised address. that is very good for health, generally also translation: starting from tomorrow may 12 the national period good for mental health. of nonworking days will be over in all the country and for all the second is we recognise sectors of the economy. we are going to have to do changes for a long period of time and making things sustainable is but the fight against the epidemic is not over. extremely important. the danger remains. bbc russia's olga ivshina and the third reason is that the scientists on the sage group looked at this has the details. and are confident that the risks of transmission outdoors are much first of all putin's speech doesn't mean that quarantine restrictions lower than the risk of transmission would be lifted all over russia. indoors but they are not zero. the situation is very much different across various regions of russia. the government published a 50—page for example in moscow document outlining the three phases where we see almost half of gradually restoring
9:07 pm
a kind of normality. of the cases from russia, the rules only apply restrictions will continue to england because scotland, until the 31st of may. wales and northern ireland in other regions the are largely maintaining the advice to stay at home. situation is versatile. from wednesday, people in england can go outdoors as often as they want. in the far east they have that can be for exercise or to sit certainly more than 30 cases in a park for instance. and other places 50, you can meet with one person outside your household provided and other places 1000. you keep two metres apart. of course those restrictions were very much different. you're asked to work somewhere you have to send a message from home if possible. if you can't, you can go to work or get special permission to leave your house. in certain sectors from wednesday. in some regions you can more or less but this doesn't apply walk freely all the bars to hairdressers or non essential retail. and restaurants were closed. and you should try to avoid public transport. so this speech, this quarantine you're advised to wear face coverings in enclosed spaces lifting measures come at a very where the two—metre rule can't be applied, like in shops strange time where a number of cases in russia keep rising. or public transport. why is that? from the 1st ofjune, putin says that during those six a phased return for schools and nurseries in england will begin, weeks of self isolation ration with the ambition of all primary health care system had a chance school pupils returning for a month to prepare itself for the challenges of coronavirus. before the summer break. more shops will also be able to open —— russia's health care system. and some sporting events and now they are ready. will be able to take place critics of the kremlin say that's not the case. behind closed doors. from july, the prime minister says doctors are struggling but it seems
9:08 pm
hairdressers, some bars that the russian economy is struggling even more and more and restaurants and leisure and more russians are afraid facilities could then open. that they will lose their income this timetable for releasing that they will have nothing to eat the lockdown is however dependent rather than they will get ill. on the number of new coronavirus official numbers of unemployment across russia havejumped twice cases continuing to fall. in certain cities up to for times. in the latest 24—hour period, 210 people have died from coronavirus across the uk, __ up —— up to four times. the figure is usually lower straight after the weekend. and for the first time borisjohnson and experts say the real numbers could be even higher. gave a coronavirus briefing of course in certain situations to the house of commons today. people care more about their income laura kuenssberg was watching. rather than about their health. in pakistan, the government has relaxed the lockdown this is a supremely after almost two months, enabling small markets difficult balance to strike. to open ahead of eid. there could be no greater mistake with shops now packed and social distancing rules being flouted, than to jeopardise everything we've many fear a sharp increase striven to achieve by proceeding too in the spread of the coronavirus. the bbc‘s shumaila jaffery has this far and too fast. report from islamabad. the government is today pakistan is expecting a peak submitting to the house a plan in coronavirus cases which is conditional and dependent, in the coming weeks. as always, on the common sense and observance of the british people the government has announced to ease and on continual reassessment the lockdown from may nine. of the data. in different phases. disbelief from labour, though, in the first phase, shops and small that, after last night, even after the publication markets and localities have of a fuller plan today, been allowed to operate some vital guidelines are still not ready. and since the restrictions have
9:09 pm
what the country needs at this time is clarity been lifted, markets and all major cities of pakistan and reassurance and, are buzzing with shoppers. at the moment, both are in pretty short supply. the concern is most of these and at the heart of the problem, it seems, is that the prime minister made a statement last night before shoppers are openly flouting social the plan was written or at least finalised and that has caused distancing guidelines set out considerable confusion. by the government in this situation many fear that noncompliance and whether it's near—empty parks of citizens can trigger growth in cardiff or deserted of covid—19 cases in the country. beaches of aberdeen, the administrations in scotland, wales and northern ireland are taking a different path, sticking to the stay at home message the government has warned that the lockdown with even more restrictions could return anytime with sharp political disagreement. if the number of coronavirus cases there is now a three nations approach. wales, scotland and northern ireland all agree on policy and message. and i mean this with no malice, spikes up, the prime minister has but for the sake of clarity, also repeatedly explained how pakistan is caught can he confirm that, between devil in the deep blue sea in almost everything and he said if he does not allow he has announced today, small businesses to restarts, the prime minister is acting as the prime minister of england? the country's economy wont be able to cope with the crisis that no, mr speaker, i reject covid—19 has already triggered. that completely. in iran all mosques it is very good advice have reopened today. the islamic propagation organisation for the entire population says the decision was made of the united kingdom, following discussions though i perfectly respect
9:10 pm
the inflections and variations that with the health minister after the recent suggestion by supreme leader ayatollah ali may be necessary both locally, khamenei. bbc persian's rana rahimpour has regionally and nationally. the elastic bonds between the latest on the situtation there. westminster, belfast, edinburgh and cardiff are certainly being stretched and, in private, according to the health frustration among tory ministry of iran, mps is bubbling up too. the total number of deaths so far is 6,685 confirmed deaths. one cabinet minister confided the situation and more than 109,000 people have is so complicated, they feel contracted the virus. like they almost can't win. but despite this they say that but, no question, unease about the government's handling of the crisis is certainly from the end of the month of ramadan all the religious places, starting to spread. restau ra nts a nd hairdressers will reopen. i've been talking to our uk but they will have to observe political correspondent rob watson about the criticism the government has come under since announcing the new rules for england. social distance policies. i would have thrown in the word "mockery" as well if you looked on top of that we are receiving at social media, lewis, reports from the province there has been a lot of fun had south of iran and we hear at the government's expense that it is still a red zone. over its new messaging of stay alert instead of staying home the province is very poor, and that is never good for any government. very deprived and it's unclear how i think it is probably fair to say that things have steadied down
9:11 pm
in the following sense — and that is that borisjohnson has fine tuned his argument so basely to say that what is their strategy, south of iran and we hear it is a cautious conditions—based that it is still a red zone. the province is very poor, phased careful easing very deprived and it's unclear how many tests are even done there. and that's by many observers of the lockdown, and then on that are worried about a second wave and on the reported cases issue of the messaging that somehow of all of iran. staying with iran... it is all very confusing and authorities there say one he is saying it is bound to be more of its warships has mistakenly fired complicated than just telling a missile at another iranian ship people to stay at home during a naval exercise. because we are asking people to take it happened near as he put it "baby the strait of hormuz. steps back to work". the iranian army reports that 19 sailors were killed and another 15 injured. state broadcaster irib says the support ship stayed too close the government has also published after releasing a target some of the guidelines and was then hit. that the opposition were asking for. here's rana again. i think to that end, they've steadied the ship. but i think the problem the government has had the last few days in its messaging — where people to expect a big the iranian army has confirmed new easing of conditions or not has the incident has happen. and that it is happened during a military exercise not helped and opposition parties but they insist that we have to wait for an investigation. have been saying we don't disagree it's unclear whether the investigation will come out with any concrete result. with the government's but it's important to remember that approach, phased withdrawal iranian army is different from the revolutionary. of the lockdown makes sense.
9:12 pm
we understand the dilemma the government is facing but we kind it's heavily underfunded, of worry about mrjohnson equipment are very very old but despite that, and the government's competence. many analysts are quite puzzled by how this could have happened. rob briefly on that last point for people around the world, in it a military exercise, there is a nuance here on what the prime minister they were expecting to all parts of the uk says doesn't of the exercise to be necessarily apply to wales, in contact with each othe. northern ireland and scotland. everybody is quite puzzled and shocked by what happened. stay with us on oustide source, still to come, with countries now easing their lockdowns we examine the continuing search for a vaccine yes, the government has three problems — as the only way to end one is just dealing with the virus and the absence of a cure or a vaccine and that applies to every government. the coronavirus pandemic. secondly there is that critique of the opposition that you wonder the government has announced it about the government's competence given its record and then this hopes all primary age pupils other issue is the bits in england can go back to school of the uk going its own way. for a month before the summer break. i'm not entirely sure if that it is aiming for children would matter if it was done to re—start nursery, reception, in a very amicable way but of course in many ways the governments year1 and year 6 classes in scotland and in wales onjune1st. are of a different colour, of different partners to the ones but teaching unions have expressed "serious concerns" about this. in westminster and the fact our education correspondent, elaine dunkley, has been gauging that they are criticising mrjohnson the reaction of parents saying they think he is moving too and teachers in cheshire.
9:13 pm
fast is not a great look. even with just a few children it's it is worth saying of course that the government in the last few difficult. soon people will have to learn a new skill, how to keep their minutes emphasising there is more that unites the various bits of the uk then divides distance. classes will reopen to all but it is not a great look. children in reception, year one and the government has extended plans to impose a 14—day quarantine year six. how on earth do we get 30 on people flying into the uk — children in a classroom and make to other means of transport too. but there's no date yet them socially distance? you can't do it. i like to see the children for when that will start. and passengers arriving wearing facial coverings because if from france and the republic of ireland will be exempt. they can cough it will go onto the our transport correspondent, desk they're working out or onto the tom burridge, reports. surface. i'd like to see teachers it's hard to think forward wearing it where possible. schools to the summer and imagine this busy. but airlines warn that many people have remained open for children of key workers and those deemed as simply won't want to travel if they have to self—isolate vulnerable. so why are certain age when they get home. groups but he and prioritise to return first? for nurseries, it around 100,000 people have arrived reception and year one it's a in the uk since the lockdown critical time in the early years began seven weeks ago. development. for those in year six it's about preparing them for a opposition mps say secondary school. but parents here the government failed to prevent more cases getting in. are worried about safety. a lot of they allowed cases to be seeded parents are scared that bringing the

all across this country over children back, it's going to a period of months by not taking increase the spread. one of our measures on the border concerns, increase the spread. one of our and quarantining earlier. concerns, keeping the girls in school was that we would potentially the government says the relatively from the hospital acquire coated, small numbers of flights and passengers means the number bring it back, pass it on unknown to of cases of the virus our children and then bring it in which could have come in would have and spread it further out into the had a minimal impact on the overall communities. i don't know how you prevalence of covid—i9 in the uk. can open the skills and i don't how the travel quarantine is expected to take effect you can guarantee people safety. it's unfair. my daughters are coping at the end of this month. if people can't provide fine at home and they are quite an address when they arrive, they'd have to self—isolate happy and bubbly at home. but they are really desperate to come back to in government accommodation. school and see friends. schools are keen and ending the coronavirus tom burridge, bbc news, at stanstead airport. lockdown. reopening them is as much here's more from rob watson about the economy as it is about on what these new rules mean education. in orderfor the for the uk's travel industry. about the economy as it is about education. in order for the country to go back to work, children worth bearing in mind, lewis, need to go back to school. that i think the airline business in this country employs about i million people, that is at that all the various other industries that supply meals to the planes and all this is outside source live that kind of thing. it's a huge deal and of course from the bbc newsroom. we are remembering as well that britain is one of the top large parts of europe have started destinations in europe for tourism. to ease lockdown conditions,
9:15 pm
anything that affects with businesses reopening the international tourism business here is going to put a massive and children heading back to school. strain on an economy that is trying to recover from the lockdown. much of our focus in the last two weeks has been on how countries you would not be surprised to hear are easing their lockdowns. this is the beginning of a new stage the tourism industry, airline industry, everything to do where they try and bring back some with travel, they're very, elements of normal life very worried indeed. while containing the virus. this though is not an end game many think that only comes when a vaccine is found. let's ta ke here's ros atkins on where let's take you straight to washington now where president we've got to with that. donald trump is speaking. we hi ros. hi lewis. launched the largest manufacturing ramp—up since the second world war, there are a number of people there has been nothing like it who have thoughts on how the story of the virus ends. since. at the centre of this one of them is president here he is at the weekend. industrial and scientific mobilisation was the development of this is going to go away without a vaccine. it's going to go away when oui’ coronavirus mobilisation was the development of our coronavirus testing ican see vaccine. it's going to go away when i can see it again hopefully after a capabilities. in the span ofjust a period of time. maybe the president few short months we have developed a testing capacity unmatched and is right. but he also predicted unrivaled. anywhere in the world and america's number of cases were it is not even close. this is a core dropped to zero in late february. at the moment there are 1.3 million. element of our plan to safely and alternative service on the endgame
9:16 pm
gradually reopen america and we are opening and we're starting and there is peter the director of london is enthusiasm like i haven't seen in a long time. every american should school of hygiene and tropical medicine and also an adviser to the european union on covid—19. be proud of the amazing array of talent, skill and enterprise our u nfortu nately nation has brought to this european union on covid—19. unfortunately he was in hospital with a virus and spent a week challenge. in three months, the fda between heaven and earth. this has authorised more than 92 interview with science magazine he different tests and over 9 million said let's be clear,. had been performed here in the united states. three weeks ago we we re united states. three weeks ago we were conducting roughly 150,000 tests per day. now we are doing approximately 300,000 tests per day, approximately 300,000 tests per day, a 100% increase and it will go up substantially from that number. this week, the united states will pass 10 million tests conducted nearly doubled the number of any other country. we are testing more people this point is backed up today by borisjohnson. in the forward of the per capita than south korea, the united kingdom, france, finland, and uk governments latest coronavirus. he says... but he adds, these two many other countries and in some cases combined. on friday the fda options may be more than a year
9:17 pm
authorised coronavirus antigen test away. indeed he says, in a and alternative testing technology that can be much more readily worst—case scenario we may find a vaccine. it's worth adding here, manufactured. this newly authorised there is never been a successful point of care tests estimates that vaccine for any type of coronavirus. that goal is now arguably one of the it will be able to manufacture greatest prizes and medical history. 150,000 it will be able to manufacture 150 , 000 tests it will be able to manufacture 150,000 tests per day immediately but there are serious challenges that remain. one australian increasing to 300,000 tests per day immunologists told abc news. within just increasing to 300,000 tests per day withinjust a increasing to 300,000 tests per day within just a few weeks. to further expand our nation's testing capabilities this afternoon i am announcing that my administration, and we have got this all approved and we have got this all approved and all done, is sending $1 billion to american states, territories, and and that point brings with it risk. tribes. this is all been approved, because of the vaccine elicits the we have gotten it done completed, the money is going out. this major law but not wrong immune response investment will ensure that america the result could actually be worse continues to conduct more tests than thanif the result could actually be worse than if no vaccine was given at all. any country on earth by far. i said for this and for many of the reasons from the beginning that the federal the timescale on a vaccine doesn't government would back up the states and help them build their testing involve 2020. the uk governments chief scientific adviser here. capability and capacities and that's
9:18 pm
exactly what's happened this partnership has truly flourished, we making a vaccine is a difficult, have really had a very good complicated process. it doesn't only have to work it has to be safe. i relationship with the states and the think it's good to be important that governors and other representatives we vaccinate in the way that you within the states. a relationship normally do for these diseases which is to make sure that the most like i think i can honestly say has vulnerable are protective and then not been seen in this country for to roll out to wider vaccination. many, not been seen in this country for any not been seen in this country for that is some way off. top advisers many, many years. the governors and also working together very closely not only enticing but ventilators in the uk, the us and the who have where we have capacity that is at all put the 12, 18 month time frame this point virtually unlimited and on this. given that we are in we are sending ventilators as you uncharted territory, perhaps it will be sooner. some tribes have begun, probably heard from other countries we are sending many thousands of some are imminent and some of those ventilators to other countries involved in those trials believe because they are in tremendous need they can deliver something sooner. andi let's hope they're right. but we because they are in tremendous need and i think building up of a lot of shouldn't expect it. a couple of goodwill but much more importantly than that, we are saving a lot of other things, last year there were lives. most states are not doing a increased number of measles cases in europe. directly connected to the great job, lives. most states are not doing a greatjob, my lives. most states are not doing a great job, my administration fa ct europe. directly connected to the fact that parents were not getting lives. most states are not doing a greatjob, my administration located 5000 machines and 700 valves across their children vaccinated. anti—vaccine beliefs are relevant all 50 states and governors have hereto. that same interview i quoted learned how to maximise these from earlier says this the only testing resources. the federal
9:19 pm
government is also supporting states vaccine that's found. the danger with vital surprise, quick approvals of new tests and one—on—one coaching for the team here at the white house comes not just vaccine that's found. the danger comes notjust with the virus but on how to increase capacity and our current lack of a vaccine. it comes from ourselves as well. will increase it very quickly. in recent and enough of us choose to actually weeks we have held multiple conference calls with every state as use a vaccine if it's found? well as with dc and puerto rico. we finally, back to present trump and the belief that the virus mayjust gently developed testing projections and goals for each state for the go away. he didn't rest delete mac month of may altogether totalling references a re go away. he didn't rest delete mac references are as far as from the 12.9 million tests, think of that, early 2000 but you can reasonably point out that that was a type of 12.9 million tests, think of that, 12.9 million tests, think of that, coronavirus that eventually did 12.9 million tests. today i'm disappear without a vaccine. it's announcing that my administration true. but the reason that happen is will provide the collection supplies to help states meet their targets that sars was contained. perhaps that sars was contained. perhaps that was easier because back in 2003 and meet them rapidly. during the there was less global travel, month of may, fema and hhs will be perhaps because sars had a relatively low level of delivering 12.9 million swabs to transmissibility. either way states nationwide. we already have relatively low level of tra nsmissibility. either way it relatively low level of transmissibility. either way it was contained. in the end if you can them, the delivery will be very stop a virus being transmitted to people who don't have it, the virus quick. we are prepared to provide millions of additional swabs if any will die. that's not happened with seat is on a pace to surpass its covid—19. it wasn't contained in goal and their goals are very high. china, wasn't contained in other countries where it was found early
