report begins in a hospital in france. this hospital in paris is the site of a mini outbreak the corona virus transmitted by a patient who was not initially considered infected. special but at 1st there was no reason to isolate the patient because he didn't come from any of the risk areas when we realized he was infected we identified all the staff who had had contact with him. at least 3 hospital employees are now infected with the virus the french minister of health has called on the public to keep their distance from one another not to shake hands and to refrain from the traditional french kiss on the cheek. but he delivers the number of infections is also increasing in iran officially around $600.00 people there are infected and more than 40 have died but many fear that the number of an reported cases could be much higher understandably iranians are being cautious like at this bizarre. because of our business has dropped to 2

so that's going out and then isolating in jewels that we suspect may possibly be infected that that's happening but a big priority right now is to see if we can protect our health care workers one of the concerns that we have and i'm sure it's true in europe as well if you start seeing widespread infection among health care workers and serious illness then the whole thing starts to break down very quickly so making certain that all spittles and clinics are personal protective measures and also are revising our clinical algorithms because our our how we decide who we're going to test because business this is usual was only if they came from the affected area but now that we have transmission there's a lot of complexities to work. and now to some of the other stories making headlines around the world former u.s. vice president joe biden has won a strong victory in the south carolina democratic primary election thanks in part
