well i for believe this is news as the corona virus continues to spread across the globe american president donald trump decides against sealing off the country's in fiction hotspots new york parts of new jersey and connecticut meanwhile the rapid result is approved in the u.s. it could be delivered the senators next week also coming up. in spine hazmat suits and they needed to bury the data as the number of victims climbs the country is struggling to cope as fatalities again and as the nation's health care workers pay

a heavy price for their round the clock fight to save lives. and with the pandemic ultimately one is legacies in german football is going virtual and online a football tournament is fan something to cheer about as the cubs friends of their financial futures. a math anyhow thanks for joining us as the coronavirus continues to spread around the globe u.s. president donald trump says he has decided against sealing off new york and parts of neighboring states he said that he was considering considering rather foreign tinning hotspots where more than half of the country's infections and deaths have been reported from tweeted on the recommendation of the white house coronavirus task force and upon consultation with the governors of new york. ages he and

connecticut i've asked the center for disease control to wish you a strong travel advisory to be administered by the governor as in consultation with the federal government a quarantine will not be necessary full day plus will be released by the c.d.c. tonight thank you so let's go straight to journalist chang's ronnell in new york times how do you think this news will be received that there will be no quarantine in new york city and state well i think with some degree of relief obviously in this city new york with a mounting death toll and a really large number of confirmed cases you could say that nerves have been frayed and i guess the anything that isn't going to involve a significant increase in the restrictions about people's ordinary daily life is going to be something that people are going to appreciate of course we're still waiting on tenterhooks to find out exactly what kind of travel advisory it's going to be given by the government about it sent to the control obviously the concern

that donald trump the president had does still exist there are a large number of new yorkers with 2nd homes in different the country florida connecticut long island and so on and that's a really large number of cases here and people have been thinking well i'm going to get out of the city and i'm going to go down to my 2nd home in florida but of course some of them are infected with the 19 virus and some of them don't know about it and what do they do they get on an airplane and they take it down there as well and that could be the cause of. of another outbreak in a different part of the country and not a fire for the government to put out. how do you think this is going to play out of the next few days. well like i say nerves are definitely frayed in new york it's only every few minutes also that you hear not that ambulance fire and that's not a person being taken to one of the hospitals. the death toll in the thick of it

fell is that about $700.00 and a few hours ago nobody that number is going to go up and a lot of new yorkers have basically just locked down in their homes at the moment and not going to work at working from home maybe ducking out to do a quick run to a grocery store and then coming home again wearing and i'm gloves and just trying so work out the how far it's going to go over it we're hearing worrying stories from inside the hospitals stories of doctors and don't have enough ben to late don't have an offer to. seeing some of their colleagues being forced to go home because they've got sick themselves and outside the back of the hospitals there's been some images that have been shared around new york which are truly rows and rows of refrigerator trucks why if they brought the refrigerator trucks then i tell you why it's because they know that the morgues in these hospitals are going to go over a failed trance ronnell in new york thank you all

health experts say the u.s. needs to do more testing to reveal the true extent of the outbreak there to help achieve that the country's food and drug administration has approved a new rapid result test the manufacturer abaco bar traces it can to take the corona virus in about 5 minutes the unit is said to be so small about the size of a toaster that it can be used in almost any health care city the fam says it plans to supply 50000 tests a day starting on april 1st. so how real are the claims we asked dr eric feigele dean he's an epidemiologist and health economist in washington. it's definitely real and these are the technology has evolved a lot in the last few years to make this possible and i'm still waiting for to see some of the accuracy measures because i think those are the 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 that is on a rapid scale immediately tell people you need to quarantine or not is would be infinitely better and faster in terms of helping us contain the spiers than what we have now europe is struggling with the growing death rates and increasingly of a strain hospitals juta the worldwide pandemic spain is europe's 2nd worst a country or thirty's their report of the highest increasing fatalities with more than 800 people dying in a day span is also reporting the largest percentage of infected health can't work has something further straining the system. a burial in hazmat suits. one of thousands of victims of the corona virus outbreak in spain. hospital staff in madrid don't need to see the statistics to know spain does not yet have a handle on the epidemic. it has been

a deadly week for the country 2nd in daily fatalities only to italy. a shortage of equipment and medical staff has left doctors and nurses overwhelmed amnesty international reports that over 9000 spanish health service workers have become infected with the virus more than any other country. even healthy staff face isolation once they return home careful not to spread the disease to their families. who are having a hard time you feel very lonely and then you go home and you're alone again you remember all the images you saw during the day and you keep thinking and thinking and you can't rest. go home with the images in your head of everything you see here it's very difficult to disconnect it's impossible because you also feel helpless and sad. but their work is not in vain thousands have recovered because of their

efforts. at this field hospital in the dritte 34 year old. is going home. one of the local cope with 19 and i was in this hospital for the last 4 days. i have to say that in the beginning i had a really bad time because i had that feeling of not being able to breathe. thanks to all the support i received here all the measures that they've taken it wasn't so hard. no medicine that will go for a long so the ordeal is over but for spain the path to recovery is still uncertain . now some of the stories making news around the world. in a press conference on saturday japanese prime minister shinzo people to refrain from normal essential meetings to stop the spread of code did not thing he's also

numbers of reported cases india has put its 1300000000 people into lockdown the situation is forced does used to working with little to do with even less. lockdown and social distancing don't appear to be making much of a difference to life in delhi central market except that masks are on sale for in vegetable sellers have to provide for the city's 20000000 residents. one of them is raj ridge oriya his stall may look full but after 5 days of lockdown coming up with fresh fruit is a challenge. i couldn't get final 6 things on my list a tool there are hardly any imputed products even in india and for not so hard to come by. central delhi is nearly empty india has good reason to fear coronavirus a densely populated country with

a poor health system makes an outbreak too terrifying to contemplate the police are taking the lockdown seriously videos on social media are said to show how they're responding to those without a reason to be out hunger is also a problem improvised soup kitchens have sprung up 90 percent of workers are day laborers and are now out of a job rajkumar drives a rickshaw but not for the next few weeks. i don't even have money for tea i couldn't survive without a place like this you get food here in a big city like delhi no one looks off to others. that. this aid organization relies on donations. the government has pledged support for 800000000 indians about half the population how that might work remains unclear. with hardly getting any food prices of almost doubled and the money the government
