italy on lockdown. millions in the country are waking up to the news they'll soon be under quarantine. someone with coronavirus was in the same place as president donald trump. hear why he insists he's not worried about it. and all eyes on the state of michigan as the biden/sanders showdown gets set for another super tuesday. we're coming to you live from cnn world headquarters in atlanta, where it's 5:00 a.m. welcome to our viewers here in the u.s. and around the world. i'm natalie and "newsroom" starts right now.
1:01 am
and we begin with the very latest on the spread of the coronavirus. millions of people in northern italy are waking up this morning to discover they are not allowed to go anywhere. the coronavirus outbreak there is so bad nearly 6,000 confirmed cases, the government has effectively locked down the lombardy region and 14 northern provinces. but the government's action reaches all across the country. social gatherings and all churl events are either being suspended or severely restricted. we're in rome with the very latest for us. this has got to be a shocked. these steps have got to be a shock to people waking up there
1:02 am
today. >> reporter: well, that's right, natalie, people waking up trying to figure out what they can and what they can't do. these measures were signed early sunday morning. milan, venice, big economic centers for italy. people are being told they can't move within region or within their own region. supermarkets and pharmacies will remain open, restaurants must closed by 6:00 in the evening, obviously all the ski resort and social events as you mentioned have been cancelled in that area and indeed for the rest of italy, many social events have also been suspended. museums have been closed and archaeological sites like the
1:03 am
colosseum in rome have been closed. at the vatican, on sunday, pope francis in just a few hours normally would appear at the window on st. peter's square he'll be doing that via video link now to avoid people coming into the square. so, for all of italy, schools and universities have been closed. they possibly will be allowed to reopen within a week's time we don't know about that yet. we'll hear from the government then but the other measures are going to be extended for three weeks, natalie, you can imagine for italians the civil protection authority is really appealing to them to change their habits and abide by this new decree in order to stop the spread. they had a huge spike on saturday with 1,472 new cases, bringing them to a total of
1:04 am
almost 6,000 cases, important the government is trying to stress to italians that they'll have to try to abide by these new measures. a big change for italians for the near future. natalie. >> containment is the key. thank you. that cruise ship quarantined off california is now we have learned is set to dock in oakland on monday. there are at least 21 infected people on the grand princess out of more than 3500 onboard. the staff we're told will still be quarantined and treated on the ship. the cruise line said others will be able to eventually leave after health screenings which will take a few days. california residents will go to a federal site in that state for
1:05 am
isolation, others will be taken to other facilities in different states. joining me now is gina, a passenger on the grand princess cruise ship off the coast of california. gina, first up, you got information from the captain that things are changing. what can you tell us? >> yes, just a few minutes ago we received announcement from the captain that we will be going to the port of oakland tomorrow afternoon, he anticipates our arrival some time in the afternoon, we're just off san francisco. he said that disem bbarkation wl take a few days. those who need to be hospitalized they'll be sent to health care facilities in california. those with medical needs will be
1:06 am
federal facilities. the rest of the united states residents will be transported by u.s. federal government and other facilities in other states. he also said they haven't worked out what's going to happen with the international guest and you must be so relieved when you heard that announcement. >> yes. he also said that one of our big concerns because my husband is diabetic and his medication runs out -- they redistributing prescription -- urgent needs within the next 24 hours. >> earlier on our air, an emergency room doctor said that this cruise ship should be treated like what we saw in japan that the united states has resources that you shouldn't be treated like sitting ducks so it
1:07 am
looks like that the u.s., you know, got a plan in place and you get to get off, however, the captain did tell you that it would take several days, so will you be tested, have you been tested, what can you tell us about that process? >> we have not been tested. they've only tested 40-some-odd people. i think people could be exposed to the virus and none of the rest of the passengers have been tested. and so, from what his announcement said, we'll be take on the some facility and tested. what we don't know is, if we test negative if we'll still be quarantined or not. that piece of information we're just not sure about. >> i'm sure everybody loved hearing that announcement. i know that you have a job to go back to, as you said your
1:08 am
husband is running out of medicine, how do you feel about the situation now knowing that you're going to get off and you're kind of celebrating an anniversary, your wedding anniversary, so not exactly how you wanted it to turn out? >> no, right, exactly. this is kind of an anniversary celebration -- on this cruise ship 16 years ago when it was operating out of the caribbean, so it was not exactly how we anticipated ending -- >> we wish you and your husband the best as you get to arrive in oakland and we hopefully stay in touch with you so you can let us know how you're doing. gina, thank you for talking with us. >> thank you very much. as grand princess passengers wait to disembark the united states is monitoring a different
1:09 am
ship for possible cases of the virus. u.s. vice president mike pence met saturday with executives from the cruise industry he would not name the suspected ship but he did give details. >> we are tracking at this point a ship that may have shared crew with the diamond princess or the grand princess. we have taken a decisive action to hold until we do a full medical assessment of that crew on that ship. we'll continue to lean into this effort. >> we turn to the latest tragedy in china revolving around the virus. emergency crews racing to find miss ngs the rubble of the collapsed hotel, at least ten people were killed, compounding the search and resz cue, this building was being used to quarantine victims of the
1:10 am
coronavirus. you've been following the developments and the rescue, a really dangerous situation for people trying to save people right now. >> reporter: that's right, natalie, and you noted the death toll just rose again in the last 30 minutes. this is such a race against time for over firefighters and other emergency responders on the scene. we received news from the government short time while ago, at the time of collapse, 58 people were quarantined at the time and all tested negative. they're wearing masks and goggles and they're also disinfecting the ground. let's take a look at what's been happening on the ground.
1:11 am
a baby is pulled from the rubble after a hotel in china collapsed on saturday. firefighters dig through concrete and steel trying to find other survivors. at one point, authorities say at least 70 people were trapped in the debris, it's a double blow for those inside the building a structure in this city being used as a quarantine center exposed to the know value coronavirus. rescue workers were on the scene sometimes using their bare hands and others using saws to rescue dozens of people who were taken to nearby ambulances. witnesses said they heard a loud noise before the collapse and then saw dust and glass fill the air. it's about 600 miles from wuhan the epicenter of the coronavirus outbreak in china.
1:12 am
officials have also said they're still investigating the cause of this collapse but they have told state media the owner of the building is now in police custody because renovation work was taking place on the first floor before it collapsed. they called the own eer shortly before the collapse because of a pillar shifted. >> such a horrible tragedy and the rescue goes on. e voters in six u.s. states head to the polls tuesday. we're on the trail with the democratic front-runners. that's next. i have the power to lower my blood sugar and a1c. because i can still make my own insulin. and trulicity activates my body to release it like it's supposed to. trulicity is for people with type 2 diabetes.
1:13 am
it's not insulin. i take it once a week. it starts acting in my body from the first dose. trulicity isn't for people with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. don't take trulicity if you're allergic to it, you or your family have medullary thyroid cancer, or have multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2. stop trulicity and call your doctor right away if you have an allergic reaction, a lump or swelling in your neck, or severe stomach pain. serious side effects may include pancreatitis. taking trulicity with a sulfonylurea or insulin increases low blood sugar risk. side effects include nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, belly pain, and decreased appetite, which lead to dehydration and may worsen kidney problems. i have it within me to lower my a1c. ask your doctor about trulicity. hello, i saw you move in, and i wanted to welcome you to the neighborhood with some homemade biscuits! >>oh, that's so nice! and a little tip, geico could help you save on homeowners insurance. >>hmm! >>cookies! uhh, biscuits.

1:16 am
americans in six states head to the polls for the latest round of democratic primaries this tuesday. we'll have our eyes on idaho, michigan, mississippi, missouri, washington and northern dakota and as we continue to follow the calendar ahead, it's effectively coming down to two candidates. former vice president joe biden
1:17 am
and senator bernie sanders. our correspondents are on the trail with the democratic front-runners. arlette saenz is with joe biden. >> reporter: joe biden held his first two campaign rallies since his super tuesday comeback. telling his spotters what a difference a week makes. biden recently told donors that he raised $22 million over a five-day period. put that into perspective, biden raised $22.7 million in the entire fourth quarter of 2019. now biden here in both st. louis and kansas city warned about the campaign turning negative. take a listen to what he had to say. >> folks, we're building a coalition, we're building a coalition that most successful presidents in our lifetime that barack obama had started. we're doing it.
1:18 am
bring together americans of every race, every creed, every economic background, democrats, republicans and independents as well, we believe we delivered to a moment we're in position that not only can we defeat donald trump but an opportunity -- an opportunity if we think big enough, bold enough this nation deserves. >> reporter: bernie sanders at his own rallies said the differences between he and joe biden compared to the differences that have been with president trump. he drew contrast and distinction with biden when it comes to issues like his iraq war vote. on sunday, he's heading down to mississippi to campaign a state with a large african-american population and one that bernie sanders decided to skip earlier this week, instead turning his focus to michigan, bernie sanders had that upset victory
1:19 am
in 2016 in michigan and he's hoping for a repeat but joe biden is hoping to challenge him on tuesday night. arlette saendz. >> reporter: the pressure is on for bernie sanders to wage a comeback after a disappointing finish in the super tuesday states, it starts here in chicago, illinois, where he rallied about 15,000 supporters about his campaign, a massive rally here where he sharpened his attacks against joe bide >> joe biden and i are friends. but we have different records, we have a different vision. the american people will hear about it. when we invade iraq one of us
1:20 am
voted for that, and that was joe biden. >> reporter: sanders went on to criticize joe biden over his past votes on trade, on the iraq war and on abortion, it's just the latest sign of the escalating tensions between these two campaigns, we have seen joe biden criticizing sanders over the rhetoric coming from his supporters the sanders' campaign firing back saying that that's a small issue compared to health care and trade. for bernie sanders on tuesday it's what happens in michigan. four years ago he narrowly beat hillary clinton in the state of michigan, totally changing the narrative of that race and where he hopes to mount a comeback in this race against joe biden. abby phillips, cnn, chicago. what's going to happen,
1:21 am
let's get some analysis from an economics correspondent at the spectator. good to see you and good morning to you, kate. >> good morning. >> let's start with the state of michigan, ground zero for bernie sanders, he has to take it, what is he doing you think to achieve that? what are you hearing. >> an important moment in his campaign in 2016, arguably even more important this year because his turnout hasn't been as strong as in california. the feeling is he's moving slightly more towards centrist topics not necessarily changing his policies, talking about the democratic bread and butter issues. he's focusing much more on trade, as your correspondent pointed out on the iraq war and
1:22 am
talking points that resonate with voters. in 2018 the state was won back over by moderate democrats in the house. it wasn't really the -- the moderate governor has endorsed joe biden. >> moderate democrats have surged in the past couple of years and let's talk about the population mixup that's the state of michigan, you have big african-american communities, you have working-class whites, you have a big muslim population and you do have many college-age voters. that's a lot of people to try and speak to and get your message across. >> it is and it's a good test for any candidate, republican or democrat in the state of
1:23 am
michigan. that's a broad coalition of people you have to appeal to in the general election. some of those college-educated young people are on bernie sanders' side. pete buttigieg or michael bloomberg are getting behind joe biden. we're not sure if those all those votes will translate. lot of talk about elizabeth warr warren, many think her votes could go to bernie sanders but some think a chunk could go to joe biden. the president won the state but his support amongst white working class men in particular and even the african-american vote has been ticking up. the trump campaign thinks they're going to do better in
1:24 am
this state. a challenging area for any democrat not only in michigan but across the country in terms of how they compete with the president. >> speaking of the president, let's talk about what's going on right now with the coronavirus. some misinformation coming from the administration and they've been criticized for that. how important is donald trump's work to stay on top of this and be crystal clear as best he can with the american people over what's going on and how he's leading the country through it? >> well, arguably it's his most important job if there's a point of government in its very basic form it's security and protection in moments like this that people in many ways can't control. the narrative coming from the government and from the president in particularly is incredibly important and they have to get their facts right. i'd bring in a bit of caution,
1:25 am
lot of academics have been saying similar things to the president but in much more toned down calm and clear rhetoric, i think the key for the president in this moment concern understandably for the american people and people all over the world that he does need to tone down that rhetoric and more thoughtful what he's presenting to the public and he needs to be clear what they know and what the state and public health experts know. so far in the usa and the uk where i'm based, countries have fared very well compared to china and italy. we don't want to go into the panic mode yet but it's required of the president to deliver that in a calm and thoughtful way and it's not always been the president's strong suit, has it, it's an area that he really needs to focus on in the coming months. >> information is the key and
1:26 am
clarity of that to help people get through this and stay safe. we appreciate your insights as always, kate andrews in london. thanks, kate. >> thanks for having me. speaking of president trump, a major u.s. political event wasn't safe from the coronavirus. we'll tell you how he's reacting after cpac attendee tested positive. he was there as well. icky mess and on stovetops for an amazing clean, get the power of mr. clean magic eraser in disposable sheets. ♪ ♪

welcome back to our viewers here in the united states an around the world. you're watching "cnn newsroom." i'm natalie allen with our top stories. italy's prime minister has announced a sweeping lockdown of
1:30 am
northern italy in effort to contain the biggest coronavirus outbreak in europe. most cultural events are either suspended or restricted. at least ten people have died in the collapse of a hotel in southeastern china, it was being used to quarantine coronavirus patients. dozens have been rescued, but many others are feared buried in the rubble. 30 minutes ago, we had seven dead, it's up to ten. the cause of the collapse is not known. a ship quarantined for the virus is set to dock in oakland, california, monday, at least 21 people on the grand princess cruise ship are infected. the cruise line says the crew will remain on the ship for treatment. but passengers will eventually be able to leave, we're told it could take several days. they'll undergo health
1:31 am
screenings and be taken to federal facilities. we'll keep our eye on that developing story with the ship. the number of coronavirus cases has topped 440 in the united states. with at least 19 deaths now. that includes large outbreaks in the states of washington, new york, and california. at least one attendee at last week's cpac has tested positive. u.s. president trump and other top officials spoke at that conference a little bit more than a week ago. president trump is still downplaying the virus threat. >> reporter: president trump continues to say that he's not worried about coronavirus after a visit to the cdc he took questions from reporters and he said he was still shaking hands he was still out there and he still hold campaign rallies. we did learn that an attendee of
1:32 am
a conservative program has been diagnosed with coronavirus. here's what the president said. >> i'm not concerned at all. thank you very much. >> reporter: president trump may not be worried, but a lot of top health officials are. cdc put out new guidance, if you're elderly or if you have any health risks you shouldn't go into large crowds. clearly there's some concern. this is just a larger part of mixed messages that are really confusi confusing people in the u.s. president trump said anyone who wanted to could get tested. there are only 275,000 who can be tested right now. the amount of tests here in this country. it's not everyone.
1:33 am
the other problem is what we heard from the fda who gave a briefing, talked about this, what the president meant to say that you can go to a doctor and doctor will refer you to take a test but that's just another step there. this is leading to a lot of frustration among people who want to get out there and get tested. lot of questions here. how many people actually tried here in the u.s. to get testing and they were turned away. what does that mean as they went back out into the public, are we looking at potentially several more cases and on an international scope, a lot of criticism of the administration, a lot of criticism of how america handled. china and south korea had the ability to test thousands of people very fast in the way the u.s. hasn't been able to do. lot of questions of how this has
1:34 am
been handled and what happens next. >> an infection disease speci specialist is joining me now. thank you so much, doctor, for being with us. i want to start with president trump there he won't curtail his rallies, that he's not worried about it but he's had some -- made some misstatements along with other members of his administration about the impact of the coronavirus in the united states. how important is that the leadership at the top communicate effectively with the citizens, many who are scared and who are confused about what to do? >> natalie, thank you for having me. i think it's really important
1:35 am
for the public and the government to have a really good relationship at this time. particularly because there's so much misinformation out there on the internet and the social media. it's really important to have good information coming from the government. the cdc one of the leading public health organizations in the world i think americans should look to their government help them and it's so important that the government does provide accurate information and while trying not to make people panic. you give that information even if it's a bit concerning. >> absolutely. well, let's talk about that cruise ship i was just talking with someone on there, positive news there for the people who have been stuck on yet another cruise ship, does it sound like the united states is getting a reasonable plan, what would you expect these folks will go through once they do get to dock in oakland?
1:36 am
>> so, yeah, crew ships have been a real curveball with this outbreak in the last ten weeks, apart from the one off oakland, there's one in the mile, a quarter, a third of people have tested positive. so hopefully now given the experience with the diamond princess the authorities will be able to have a more consistent approach and, again, as you mentioned before with your previous question, keeping people, passengers, relatives updated with what's going on, whether that's self-isolation for a period of time, at least we are getting better at dealing with cruise ship outbreak and now to italy, it's 9:00 in the morning there and people are waking up to hear that there's a lockdown on a huge region where there they have impacted the
1:37 am
entire country. how important is it to stop the spread? >> i think it's very important, natalie. again, we're learning what's been done before in the last ten weeks, we saw the big lockdown in china, around wuhan and hubei province and italy had 1200 cases or so in the last 24 hours which is a lot of cases for a country of 630 million. i think this is a reasonable approach to take but may not stop the outbreak but it might slow it down, when you slow it down that means it might drag on for longer but you'll have a smaller peak, that means your government infrastructure's more likely able to deal with it. >> back here in the united states, there still seems to be a lag in getting test kits, it's kind of confusing that if someone were to go to their doctor would they be able to get
1:38 am
tested and go to the emergency room, you know, if they feel like they're sick, it's still very confusing to people and the issue is being able to get those test kits and get them in a reasonable time frame. >> right, natalie. so it's very important to have testing done because the quicker you can do testing the quicker you can identify someone with the infection, you can isolate and treat them and stop further infections from occurring, if people are concerned it's really important they call ahead to their local primary provider or call their hospital's emergency department or hot lines available for coronavirus in the united states and say, hey, i think i've got this infection what should i do? >> every time we get to hear from people like you it helps
1:39 am
people breathe a little bit easier. doctor, thank you for be with us. >> thank you, natalie. it was a pleasure. we'll continue to bring you all of the lastest from cnn. watch our program "state of the union" 9:00 a.m. here in the united states, 2:00 p.m. in london. we'll talk to the surgeon general jerome adams on our program. the official hand shakes and smiles were all there just like usual but these are the last days of royal engagements for harry and meghan. we'll have more about their royal finale coming next. an inb from any one else. why accept it from your allergy pills? flonase relieves your worst symptoms including nasal congestion, which most pills don't. flonase helps block 6 key inflammatory substances. most pills only block one. flonase. when the murray's go to work... michelangelo goes to work, too. good thing they use new gain ultra flings

you're looking at a region here of northwestern oklahoma where a wildfire continues to rip through the region and evacuations are now under way, it has burned at least 13,000 acres so far and is just 10% contained. people in at least two towns are being asked to leave as officials warn the fires will threaten homes there. climate change has been at top of the democratic party political agenda but many young republicans say, fighting climate change is a generational issue not a political one, in fact, some of these college students believe their republican party is wrong to dismiss the subject. our chief climate correspondent bill weir has their story. >> reporter: at the cpac, you'd
