toll of any country outside china and south korea which has seen a sharp jump and coronavirus cases in just the past few days. scenes like these from china's cities and lockdown are now becoming familiar across the globe following new deaths caused by the novel coronavirus. razor remains the continent hardest hit by the outbreak on sunday south korea raised its disease alert level to the highest possible there are hundreds of registered cases in the country and the number of new infections is still surging meanwhile the coded 19 commonly known as the corona virus is becoming increasingly political in iran the supreme leader ayatollah ali how men they accused iran's enemies of spreading propaganda about the virus online in order to stifle voting in saturday's parliamentary election. will mutiny. you know how massively they worked using various platforms to lower voter turnout

how to know. you know how during the last a pretext they resorted to was this coronavirus which has scared many. you have you can usually do both on the. iranians accuse their leadership of hiding the real scope of the outbreak. we don't know what's true what's false sense of government is constantly lying to us. health experts say maintaining a healthy immune system is key to fighting off the virus protective masks are now the dominant picture of residents on alert. in italy residents of northern towns prepared for a weeklong koren team nerves began to fray among locals facing new lockdown measures. there is nothing else we can do only is the means at our disposal like masks and stay isolated and we'll see.

italian authorities confirmed on sunday that the famed venice carnival as well as sporting events in the coming weeks will be canceled. and for the latest on the corona virus outbreak in italy we're joined now from rome by a correspondent seem. to you seem so italy is the 1st country in europe to take such drastic preventative measures what does it mean for daily life in italy. well just looking at specifically those 10 so towns it within the city that have been on this lockdown that's the red zone if you like and it's affecting some $50000.00 or so residents and they really are not allowed to leave that area and no one's allowed to enter anyone breaking this provision faeces or receive finally as well as

a rest being sent to prison so the authorities are capping down hard on its restaurants businesses museums have all been closed and we're looking at specifically the regions of lawn but d.c. as well as spend it along but we've seen the highest number of cases up until now it's really is said to have 100 $32.00 inspections but the largest coming from long but the day they've decided to close who for the entire region for a week and that includes universities as well and the same goes for the beneteau region syria or 1st division football games have been canceled in those particular regions and as you mention then until the region which sees 25 infections and this is where venice is located they've made the decision that as off this evening venice accountable activities will be suspended. while it is still apparently unclear how exactly people and got infected due time health authorities

have any clues on this. well we've just heard from the authorities from the civil protection services earlier today here it broke saying that essentially they still don't know who patient 0 is not patient 0 force it's crucial to know the 1st person to brought the virus into the context of these northern italian regions initially it was thought that it was a manager that that traveled from china to its elite and had infected the so-called patient one and that's a 38 year old man who's currently still in hospital but it turns out that that patient 0 tested negative twice for covert 19 virus and so it appears that he isn't the cause of the action so the authorities have said they still don't know patient 0 is why is that important because by knowing patient 0 they will be able to track the power of the virus and of course the rate of the infection which is

important for the moment though the authorities are doing everything they can to contain the infection rate in any case to those areas of fact that they carried out some $3000.00 also swore sort tests of people to find out that they do indeed have the virus in the week but those results the prime minister has said that the situation is serious they are doing taking all the necessary precautions but there really is no need right now to panic because they need to be working together to deal with this issue. go to reporting for us from rome we thank you very much for that update. all right let's turn our attention now to our other top story and u.s. senator bernie sanders has scored a commanding victory in nevada's democratic party presidential caucuses putting him at the forefront of the race to become the democrats' nominee to challenge donald trump the democratic candidates are now looking ahead to the south carolina primary next week and then super tuesday on march 3rd.
