repeated time and again in the coming days and weeks. correspondent pair on it joins us now from milan and northern italy is one of the hardest hit regions by the crisis how many people in milan are dealing with the situation where we are all dealing with the situation and thanks for having me by staying. as as a matter of fact most of us have been home for a couple of weeks thousands if number one is not as badly affected as the provinces to the east of milan not such as a moat cremona and pressure where the priests some of the priests i spoke to that told me you know it's going to be difficult for this town to even restart life because so many people that we knew so well have died. so were women mostly staying at home it's a nervous game of of of waiting there are long queues to get into the supermarkets . and we're doing as we're told. well the death toll keeps climbing in italy what

more can the authorities do now to contain a further spreading of the virus. i think we know most of us don't know because a lot has already been done. and we i think we're entering uncharted territory here is this is a full blown lockdown only essential it. such as pharmacies grocery store supermarkets are allowed to carry on so it's not clear what else can be closed one thing that is clear is that we've always been told that the lockdown and all the strict measures that the government has adopted we would see their effects further down the line so a lot of hoping a lot of us are hoping that this week maybe was start to see. you know the spread slowing down a little bit this is not clear it's not clear when the effects to kick in but we're hoping to see the effects soon. well i mean you know it's sounds like

a pretty overwhelming situation and of course some of those who are probably the most overwhelmed will say would be medical staff and what support are they receiving at the moment. it's quite it's a huge operation of a spoken to a few doctors in i.c.u. . and they've describes a race against time to free up more beds every day and by the end of the day no matter how many pets they're freed up there you know always the same amount of beds is available because so many patients keep going to hospitals long body has called doctors recall doctors from retirement but also invited doctors from cuba from china or from venezuela there's a constant recruitment process to have new nurses and new doctors every week and still they don't they never seem to be enough. and this this is meanwhile authorities are moving patients we are ambulances but also helicopters to to hospitals far away to free up more beds so this is the kind of support operation

that it's quite astonishing really but still it doesn't seem to be enough. well alessio of her own in reporting from milan italy thank you. thank you spain is experiencing the europe's 2nd most severe outbreak of the krona virus cases in the country increased by 30 percent in one day prime minister petro sanchez is calling for an extension to the current state of emergency and many in spain are rushing to help support the country's strained resources. 4 the sound of gratitude and spain's emergency service workers showed the support for the medical staff working around the clock to care for the nation's soaring number of coronavirus patients. health workers have been struggling with a huge stretch on resources my mother let me out when i know there are no

as we've mentioned there were indians worried this is just will say the 1st step and that it could eventually become a full lockdown in you know the coming days or weeks well definitely that have been by use over the last few days especially in the run up to the prime minister's address that was lying and stocking up that happened across the country and even go during his address playing this deceptive smarts not happened that essential service isn't good but it to me you know the end of a different states across the country are increasingly evident that the lockdown there was the shutdown shopping center that often only essential services could be opened until a strong measure that would stick and today is that is really a service that's of them back want to talk unfortunately have been shut down till march 24th so it looks like that lockdown really calmed. well briefly what
