i'm rebecca it has welcome to the program italy has recorded a staggering rise in the number of deaths from the corona virus with 627 people dying now on friday it's the biggest single day increase registered anywhere since the pandemic began italy is now the worst affected country with more than $4000.00 lives lost to the virus so far. doctors stretched to the limit. patients gasping for air keep arriving but there aren't enough beds. most of the really sick here in very garmo are oh the early but medics warn young people they too are vulnerable. beauty percent of our nations in the i.c.u.

which are the most severe and if the percent of our patients are all it seems to be a 5 year old but there. is younger than 6. well if you. basically is racing to get temporary hospitals up and running this one has been opened by a u.s. charity in the northern city of cremona. we came here because our fellow brothers and sisters our italian brothers and sisters are hurting. the horrifying situation in the north is now being replicated in the south here in naples the streets are empty but the hospitals are starting to fill up in that awful mother figures basically reflected that of lombardy 2 weeks ago the money for. residents scrub all surfaces they think might be susceptible to contamination. but no matter how

much they clean nothing can remove the fear of infection. correspondent say my gupta joins us from rome same of the death toll in italy saw this unprecedented late on friday do experts understand why. well the. hypotheses and the 1st one the most the one that's been repeated often by the officials is simply because it's city has a significant number of elderly it's the 2nd oldest population in the world a quarter of the population is over the age of 65 and so if you are old you have underlying health conditions such as diabetes hypertension or heart disease you succumb. to this section unfortunately basically it targets the more fragile members of society and that's why we see these high numbers 2nd possible reason is the fact that the health care system is so under strain right

now i mean there were cuts in the system in the past on top of that of course we've seen doctors some percent doctors included in the list of those expected in the possible reason is that maybe this lockdown in particular law buddy could have been done earlier but for now though people are just focusing on treating those who need help here when you mentioned the elderly population but as we had in the poll a pain the pace rather half of the patients are younger than 65 are young people taking precautions seriously. well that's the whole point to mean what the authorities are saying is that you can be young you can have the inspection and it will not present any symptoms in fact you may just have a mild cold if anything or a few aches and pains because your young that sit there again it comes back to the point if you are fragile if you have some fragile issues basically if you have underlying health conditions even though you are young it could have

a dramatic impact so that's why you're also seeing some younger patients in the intensive care units and that's why the authorities are stressing that everyone has to do their part in order to limit the spread so even if you're younger you need to help such that the older members of society don't get the infection and what further measures are being taken in italy to curb the spread. well what we do know now is that the next week or so is a crucial one and that's because it's he's nowhere near its peak in terms of the number of inspections and therefore the authorities have clamped down even further right now don't complicate open the coaching you to conduct any sporting activity in its size at all or close to or out food stores close to train stations will all be shut and no one is allowed to move to the 2nd if you like each region is also putting in place specific measures here in rome for example there will be ball

controls on the streets as well as road blocks to ensure that people are not moving about without any valid reason up north in the long beach and the president of the region asked for military on the streets got 114 personnel in the city of milan he says that's not enough he needs more bases put in place to prevent people from going outside and then the till and they're saying you can't even walk your dog beyond 200 meters from your residence so really all these measures to ensure that people stay at home because as i mention this next week or so is crucial as we hope it's only he heads towards its peak it all depends on the projections and the trends that scientists are looking at the hidden civil protection services say could be anything between next week or the week after same a gotta reporting for us from rime thank you. well british prime minister bar's johnson has announced the closure of all u.k. pubs restaurants cinemas and gyms as part of containment measures britain has
