extends social isolation measures the country has been under virtual lockdown since march 17th the government now says the unprecedented peace time restrictions will remain in place for at least 3 more weeks. i'm max foster thanks for joining us as the corona virus continues to spread around the globe u.s. president donald trump says he is considering sealing off new york and parts of neighboring states where more than a half of the country's 116000 confirmed infections have been reported almost half and almost half of their deaths some people would like to see. your. new york she's made you wonder she was the place. i'm thinking

about that right. we might have to do it but there's a possibility that some scientists will do a. short wonder you are. absolutely sure she should get out of. you know i'd rather not do it but we may need it. and for more on what president trump meant and can do we go live to journalist james ronnell in new york james what would an a for civil quarantine for new york parts of new jersey in connecticut actually look like. that's the question because they look at president trump does how some powers at the national level well spread out across the united states and that a lot of our resting without the governor of the say i want to call him and also but the new york studio though it is not a local thought is across the area to all that space hotspots in the united states new york 52000 kate they can already out a number that was there in connecticut and joe and other hot spots across the

united states what trump might be considering imposing at some kind of travel bans that if people want to move between one stay and another he did make reference the large numbers of new yorkers elsewhere he mentioned florida also look the people have left town already gone to their home out on long island for example or in connecticut and what do they do at large number of cases confirmed case the new york it people are leaving and going to different parts the country what's going on with them kobe one thing of course and the worry is that these cases and the spreading and starting new outbreak elsewhere in the country and this appears to be a bit of a u. turn for president trump our viewers know i said what he calls the chinese virus at one point was a hoax how is this announcement of a possible quarantine like any perceived by the public. well i mean the 1st thing you think when you hear that the area in which you live it's going to be subject to a quarantine the person that goes through your mind maybe i need to get out now

some people are predicting that even though trumpet mention this i'm not actually come through in any order means that people are going to start leaving the city in greater numbers than they already have and you know the reason for doing this the quite all the people here are the 300 to think of a ghost town. that large numbers of people are leaving the body the streets the relatively empty every 20 minutes of the industry alone i hear an ambulance going on right we've got 500 deaths so we're hearing that there aren't enough ventilate that the written and protective equipment the doctors the hospitals are already open over threats one image which has been circulating which is really striking new york at its root generated truck and at the back of hospitals what are they there for then because the hospital tonight managed to think that they don't have enough faith in the more dramatic scenes in new york a journalist james ryan all thank you for that

health experts say the united states needs to do more testing to reveal the true extent of the outbreak to help achieve that the country's food and drug administration has approved a new rapid result test manufacture aberg abbott laboratories says it can detect the corona virus in about 5 minutes and it is so small the size of a toaster that it can be used in almost any health care setting the firm says it plans to supply $50000.00 tests a day starting on april the 1st and to look into this i'm joined now by dr eric finkel doing an epidemiologist a health economist at the harvard chan school of public health thank you for joining us doctor is this test for real it almost sounds too good to be true. it's definitely real and these are the technology has a bolt a lot in the last few years to make this possible and i'm still waiting for it to see some of the accuracy measures because i think those still have to be peer reviewed and published but any test right now is much better than the one we have

right now which takes almost a whole day turnaround and is only 30 to 50 percent accurate so this test it is on a rapid scale can immediately tell people you need to be quarantined or not is would be infinitely better and faster in terms of helping us contain this fire so what we have now. ok what i'd like to ask about president trump because he had 1st was saying this wasn't really a problem then suddenly he began to take stronger measures under criticism most recently of the 2 trillion dollar bailout which came from the senate and then telling general motors to make a ventilators so that's all good but has a government waited too long and the u.s. . yeah it. missionary him calling it a hoax or just corona flu and saying that you know it's just the flu and you can still go to work with it was just it absolutely the wrong thing was the most this is the 1st time in which misinformation came from

a top and it wasn't just suddenly misinformation but actually cause it sounds a lot you know this virus previously had a doubling time of 6 days which means you know missing 3 weeks met you know 200 cases becomes or becomes 806 you know cases you know within just a few weeks we put those actually missed 10 x. or 50 x. the number of cases and illnesses that we could have prevented had we moved faster and this is a failure of political leadership in the worst extreme so and now we have. this pandemic on our hands and it's so busy they're full of many governments who fail to react you are talking about many governments and being involved how is the world overall dealing with covert 19 in country can countries fix it alone yeah so in terms of vaccine production back scenes will be the ultimate solution

for its vaccine unfortunately is still about one year to 18 months away maybe we can find drugs that will work much sooner within 5 to 6 months. rampa but all these kind of things to international cooperation and in terms of supply actually germany's actually this number one source for regions to conduct laboratory tests in which we have a global shortage and all the supply chains for masts in rental leaders all these things require global supply chains in this is why world has to come together not get caught up in trade disputes in tariffs this is the time to for us to come together as a human race to create a manhattan project to solve this epidemic if it's a global problem requiring a global answer than dr eric fadal doing at the d.n.a. all adjacent health economists at the harvard school of public health thank you for

that. and here's a look now at more of the latest developments in the corona virus pandemic italy's death toll from code 19 has shot past 10000 with 889 new reported deaths the 2nd highest daily tally spain is to halt all non-essential economic activity for 2 weeks to try to curb the spread of the virus japan's prime minister shinzo of a has promised an unprecedented package of steps to cushion the world's 3rd largest economy from the pandemic and the chinese city of who has partially reopened after more than 2 months of almost total isolation people are now allowed to return no one is allowed to leave the city yet here in germany chancellor angela merkel has called on citizens to remain patient and help to contain the spread of the virus more than 400 people have died from the disease in germany with more than 50000 confirmed infections and the chancellor's office confirmed restrictions will have

to stay in place for at least 3 more weeks those include the closure of non-essential shops and a ban on more than 2 people meeting in public. it's sunny and 60 degrees celsius in berlin and no one wants to be. but germany's nationwide ban on public gatherings means people must keep at least 1.5 metres from. sunbathing on a blanket in a park is not. police say there were 350 police officers in the rules on saturday and most people complied with the regulations. that being said. becoming an emotional one for many with beginning to see their 1st acts of civil disobedience and resistance offices were yesterday. of the public who claim to be infected. remain isolated incidents. continue

to understanding and act responsibly. issued more than 45130 infringement notices on friday evening mostly due to members of the public floating the new laws that have been put in place to control the outbreak experts are warning against relaxing these regulations. this is definitely not the time to be discussing something of that nature. right now where we experience the 1st wave of infection it would be ludicrous to question these measures. put in place and which results. meanwhile the german military flew 6 critically ill patients from. to the western city of. the patients were quickly transferred from the military flying emergency room for treatment in a civilian yaar. coming to terms with their public life

their french neighbors are struggling with the even tougher isolation measures in place there france has been under virtual lockdown since march the 17th and on friday prime minister said the unprecedented peace time restrictions on public life would remain in place until at least april the 15th. of spring is in the air in paris but there's barely anyone out on the streets on the 12th day of the lockdown the french capital was largely deserted and most who had to be out weren't exactly comfortable about being there. she was going to have to go to work i get nervous when i use public transport i'm talking to you know without a musket but when i get on the metro. and keep my distance. and i respect the advice we've been given because i'm not a scientist. police have been out in high numbers enforcing the

lockdown they say they've issued more than 225000 fines for violations so far. but authorities say in general the measures have been widely well received. and despite the circumstances many say they're simply learning to live with confinement . bush would sometimes that and to get used to it it's becoming a routine you know i'm at home and i'm booking from home so it's pretty quiet for me. but not all french like it quiet across the country people are finding new ways of coping with being cooped up at home. this cello player for example didn't talk to social media to show off his talents he simply stepped out onto the balcony. the french appear to be complying with the lockdown so far the with the confinement measures set to last to at least the 15th of april possibly longer who knows how long that public support will last.
