the global corona crisis you can find more information online f.t.w. dot com don t w social media channels. hello there i am welcome to a brand new edition of the 7 to 7 percent this show for you africa. i'm stuck here in ghana the show must go on so we decided to put use the show on location right here on the streets of a crowd which is currently in lockdown so here's what's coming up if it can manage to finish off nairobi to see. if. we also meet opinion fashion designer would use in stylish.

filmmaker long run up ansari that's true. for most of us life change the past few weeks most countries around the world are in a lockdown to prevent the federal spread of the chrono virus and africa is no exception on march 26th south africa implemented one of the tough 1st. photographs. on the. shockingly quiet. rollerskating through a crowded johannesburg is nothing more than a distant memory for bill abrahams now the city is wrapped in an eerie silence no one is allowed outside except for grocery shopping or buying medicine. the kind of cereal. interesting because i've never experienced something like this before

basically having to stay or not. being able to leave the space so this is very different and very new for me but not everyone can add here to the rules many homeless people simply have nowhere to go. i don't know what to expect when it comes to my career. i don't know what experts expect when it comes to. countries going to and what's going to happen to people that don't have a kind of a source of income to fend for themselves so i'm really anxious that all major highways are going to be a few police cars are patrolling the city but there's no sign of the army this once bustling neighborhood now resembles a ghost town. this prison like many waiters and shopkeepers who used to work abrahams is worried about the future if the lockdown continues he has no idea how

he will make ends meet most of his assignments were canceled. everyone feeling the pain and. this is where we have to draw closer together and try to figure out how do we do life together and their lives calling out to many to to start thinking beyond the new start thinking not only thinking about themselves with thinking about other people and how do we do this to go. to. i feel the same way. never seen my city this quiet and empty as you already know i am stuck in ghana because of the religious i cannot board a plane anywhere at the moment but at least i am with friends and with my family unlike many africans who are stranded let's hear what they have to see.

when i was marketing. musician to kenya. in copenhagen denmark where it got stuck because of the cool. down. is so easy because. i lost all my gigs all my clothes and it is it is not nice being in a place you're not walking. i have ruined my name is a miracle and photographer a filmmaker from nigeria right now my current situation i'm stuck in frankfurt i came to from ford for a wedding friends were doing and we've just been cancelled nigerian government shut down the base i was pushed back. on the 6th of april but now this is being shot last week of april. so now i'm not even sure if i'm going to be with the flyback even after that time with well i'm not sure if

this is going to be open so that's my fear most. currently i'm stuck in the usa i was here to showcase my film but because of the coronavirus i can't believe i'm someone who loves freedom so i find the situation very difficult it's especially tough for me because i'm not in my home country and i'm far from my family it's not great but i understand the restrictions are there to protect us from the infection and so that we don't infect others. you can view more. time you need it really breaks my heart to see so many people stranded so far away from home and i'm sure there are many of this just like them now let's head to kenya where the government also forced every locked. form dusk till dawn this is after the country would know its 1st corner

viral status the situation is challenging particularly for those in the informal sector it it can money to show the streets of nairobi to find out how the good economic effects of the corporate 19 pandemic. now like the rest of the world we're all trying to do our best here at the 77 percent to flatten that corona virus infection line but i'm just thinking about people who are in the informal sector particularly here in kenya which is where the biggest workforce really is these are small business owners who are probably not very organized and who sectors are largely unregulated those guys who don't have offices to go to who can't work from home what do they do during these hard times it's an impossible choice really stay home don't get infected but potentially sleep hungry or go out get something to eat and potentially get infected well i want to

talk to some of those people and see what they have to say so let's get out of the office. all right so we've found a gentleman whose name is titus and he's actually a taxi driver has agreed to speak to us i can imagine that doing business for him at this time must not be very. ok. they were. nice to meet you. half. the day you've been been a good thing about our big talk here my dream to talk to you so let's get straight to it you're working on the government has said that we should be staying at home so what's going on. with god you brought in the would you you know as. mostly look well booms. so it does.

if you told me that there's an area here where you'll get the rest of the taxi drivers can you show me the city of the. week you know. and. i'm. here to say. yeah. on the. back of. the sun table. and in the disinfecting but. i'm going to. say you don't see. ok let me wash my hands because.

i'm very paranoid if i'm being honest but it's better to be sorry against their. ok so on the one hand i completely understand talk to us when he says that he's living from hand to mouth but on the other hand i'm concerned that none of the government instructions are being followed but then again how could they possibly be stay at home not possible to make sense from one another the nature of this job demands are 2 in close proximity to one another in fact even the boat a boat operators right there just back to back and i'm wondering if you will really be able to. know some of the people who've been most affected by this. everything is people in the creative industry and one of them is stephen daldry took was actually a photographer. and quiet today despite the fact that this is one of the. busiest

studios in nairobi thank you for making time for us but just quickly what's business been like for the last couple of days most of what we do is about events and gathering and meeting off people to sort everything or just cancel class or postpone canceled so there's nobody here it's a ghost compound here to say but obviously when you're talking about cancel cancel school postponed that's money that was supposed to be in your bank account that no longer is secure how are you going to recover how do we all recover. don't ask me how i'm going to recover because i think for the 1st time in my life i'm seeing living idea at a time not just for us every business person here reemployed pass on the suffering is going to be long so we're trying to prepare. so we started this trying to investigate what's happening to people in the informal sector who simply can't afford to stay home and 2 things have emerged one is that unless the government is going to implement a lockdown people will continue going to work and the 2nd thing is that the

implication the financial implication that's been caused by the coroner outbreak is probably going to be felt long after the virus has been managed coral or virus are certainly created a challenging situation for everybody for me and you and there will be any money i hope you can wear that this crisis together in the spirit of boon to all those who are suffered job losses will soon get back onto the our feet but we have some inspiration from nairobi specifically to bear up which is probably africa's the biggest slum kibera is considered a critical hot spot in the corner of virus crisis here protective gear is considered a luxury but 24 year old design and david or ching are sticking their feet office community into his own hands he's resigning face masks that are both stylish and i let people to the throat of corn a virus. i mean if you don't know if.

david achieving is only 24 years old but he's changing the narrative in his home. in paying its capital nairobi he's giving out african prints masks which are handmade for free. coronavirus because everyone here. that. he started his fashion line looks like him 2017 these days david wants to protect his community from the pandemic he wants to raise awareness about hygiene and reduce the spread of the coronavirus in poverty stricken kibera it's tough to choose between spending money on hygiene or food to. be able to. give. for food.

in africa's largest slum residents live on less than a dollar a day and spends up for it to stay home an extra purchase of protective gear like the mast and the dogs is a luxury. and . david chang has given out over 5000 masks since paying as 1st coronavirus he aims to make about 1000 masts and freely distribute them in canberra. giving. these people.

david's main objective is to protect they could bear residents but masks do not guarantee full medical protection but the idea is to get people thinking about hygiene with 700000 people living in to bear on the demand grows every day. he has trained over 17 women and teenagers to solve and when the coronavirus pandemic is over david wants to continue inspiring thing next generation of young residents to bear. wow what an amazing guy and his must do how. well everybody is talking.

specially over social media it's no surprise that news is becoming more problem which sucks on a lot of information it can be quite overwhelming when you try to distinguish between the good and so to help you out here are the most important facts about the core not fire. looks like. the most common symptoms include fever. and shortness of breath. some people. most people infected with recover special medical attention. but it can be much more dangerous for people for people. who already house shoes. here are some important steps you can take to protect others from fiction. 1st up when you give someone no kissing hugging

or shaking hands give an elbow bump or foot shake instead even if it feels a little awkward at 1st the virus can illustrate through small droplets from the nose or the mouth so whenever an infected person needs is to duplicate the land on the surfaces that we touch then our hands can spread this ducat even father that's why it's so important to keep your distance whenever possible 2 meters is recommitted. it's also super important to show hands regularly internally that means waiting them with water and washing them with soap for 20 to 30 seconds that's about as long as it takes to sing the humpy but this song twice make sure you focus on your palms the back of your hands fingertips you finger nails on the space between your fingers in rings and dry you hands if you don't have access to

soap and water you can use an alcohol best anthony ties instead and just make sure you hands are clean as hard as it is don't touch your fists if you need to go for sneeze don't use your hand instead aim into the bend over your elbow you can also use a tissue just make sure you throw it into the trash straight away keep your distance from those who are sneezing or coughing this possible those can be used but only if you change them regularly you might be seeing them everywhere at the moment but face masks don't actually offer complete protection against the fires but if you are sick wearing a face mask and protect the people around me or. most importantly if you feel unwell stay at home don't go to work or hung out with a group of friends and if you are experiencing a fever and difficulty breathing contact. your local health center right away call them in advance and do what they see.
