on state television new year broadcast with host sending messages of support to medical staff. the virus continues to spread and has now reached europe one patient is being isolated in this hospital in bordeaux and others are being treated in paris. was a moment to tell we are going to do everything possible to contain this epidemic knowing that it is possible and even probable that there will be other cases particularly in europe just because the antone of identified cases today doesn't mean that no other cases a secular. scenes like this are becoming common as airports use thermal monitors to screen travelers for signs of fever. around the world concern is heating up. well we have team coverage on the spread of the virus i'm joined now by correspondent lisa lewis she is in paris and. in beijing for us we want to start

with lisa lisa the 1st european cases of the virus have now been confirmed those are in france what more can you tell us about the situation there in those infections. well the authorities have said that all these 3 people recently traveled to china and then came back one person fell 48 year old man and brought the door in southwestern france he apparently is from china is french and he has french nationality he went to see as which is an overnight doctor's service or over the weekend and they very quickly identified the symptoms and also when they learned that he was actually from 100 where the virus comes from really they put him on to on the client and transferred him to hospital the authorities here are saying that 2 more cases have been detected in paris it looks like it was 1st one person then someone else who had been in touch with that person obviously the

authorities are trying to reassure everybody and saying we've got everything in place to to deal with this especially as we have to deal with other diseases that was similar in the past ok fabienne crushed by now in beijing it's the chinese new year today but celebrations not taking place as usual how is china responding. yeah i'm in beijing right now and here every of the public gatherings they've been canceled also the tourist attractions have been closed to parts of also the chinese wall have been close and down definitely doesn't feel like that's typical chinese new year usually it's also the season where domestic spending that's really high but now people prefer to stay it's cold they don't go to restaurants they don't spend so much on gifts for their families so yeah definitely it's quite different and it's you asa population and especially among the young there's also some kind of anger against the local authorities in holland and in a province because just 2 days before they shut down the city you know it's not on

all the tents potations they were attending lavish singing and song dinners and. really cannot understand well the popular forty's tell the people to wear face masks and to avoid all public gatherings but of course they themselves are quite different because i mean fabi and what's what's the feeling there i mean you mention the frustration but given the number of cases now is there a feeling that the chinese government is doing enough within china to stop the spread of the virus. well it's quite ambivalent question or tricky to end so if you ask the older people then yeah they have trust in the government also in the authorities and also that's also the picture outside of the country that i mean that china was a price force will operate and much more transparency with the world health organization and so on but within china i mean i get a different picture for example just yesterday the people stated the official.

newspaper of the communist party didn't even mention the coronavirus on their front page also in the evening news it's just a side story so i would say that the pocky is concerned about social stability and of course independent reporting this is only. possible in really restricted amounts lisa what about there in france what measures are french authorities taking to stop the spread of the virus now that we are seeing the 1st cases appearing there. well the authorities have said that they are well prepared there are 3 specific hospitals in paris they're prepared to deal with such infectious diseases the health minister and his bizarre said yesterday that people if they hat similar symptoms that they shouldn't go to see someone at the hospital or contact their local g.p. there's a special helpline they need to call and then people will come and make some tests at their home and then maybe bring them to specialized services obviously and the

health minister has said that she would give a daily update on the situation she said they're probably going to be more cases like this in france and she also said that probably these cases were 1st detected in france because france had developed as one of the 1st countries a method to detect the virus now people here obviously quite concerned about this is you look at social media they're really wondering why there aren't systematic checks at airports because there are people who've talked to french media in the past saying you know i just got home for dinner and no one actually checked me no one controlled me i had lisa louis with the latest there in paris and fabienne question for us in beijing thank you both here's a check now of some of the other stories making news around the world tens of thousands of demonstrators have returned to france the streets to oppose a planned overhaul of the pension system the government has unveiled its final version of the draft law which critics say will force millions to work longer
