several major cities against the antivirus lockdowns many are supporters of president. who has downplayed the threat of the disease and even fire his health minister who supports quarantine and social distancing measures. is a quick look now at some of the corona developments are around the world south korea has reported only 8 new cases of the quota virus in the last 24 hours the 1st time the country's daily jump numbers have fallen to single digits since february in the u.s. comic-con has been canceled the annual pop culture celebration is not happening this year marking the 1st time in 50 years that the show will not go on and australia has called for an independent investigation into the global response to the krona virus and demick including the world health organization's handling of the crisis people around the world are finding new ways to work because of the

krona virus and that includes german soldiers as nurses and people caring for the elderly come under pressure troops are being drafted into a new kind of battle. it's early morning in berlin major general broyard is on his way to his morning briefing there are many topics on the table from stuffing levels to the security situation from media coverage to the weather and of course the many requests for help they receive from across the country according to the major general the coronavirus crisis is also the kind of assistance his command provides in the past the german army has mainly offered support in the event of floods and forest fires now the entire country has to deal with a different kind of calamity. in in the last few days we had to turn down a number of requests whenever it's a matter of medical supplies which are very very scarce for us to what we can do and what has been happening over the last week and a half is offer

a helping hand. and. like in a town in southern germany here 35 soldiers are now providing support in retirement and nursing homes. could have to get in that of course our nursing staff is currently reaching the limit and if there is an emergency situation especially in the nursing home that's why i approached the german army and asked for official help fortunately we got it immediately. on the sofa to the company. sergeant maximillian try series one of those helping out normally he's a tank commander now he's working at the st elizabeth seniors residence he makes beds and serves food to the guests. and it certainly feels people's gratitude they're suffering a lot because they haven't had any visitors for several weeks which is and it's good that they see new faces and someone other than nurses. usually go.

in munich at the german army's university campus 10 soldiers a manufacturing disinfectant over the last week the soldiers have tested the production process who carried out quality controls. our normal job is the defense against nuclear biological and chemical warfare agents. so now we carry out the same range of functions but for something positive the production of disinfectant. just. back of the operation center in berlin excluding medical services only about 500 soldiers provide assistance 15000 are on standby in future the army could support health authorities in following up on coronavirus cases. despite this will probably always be the case where the civilian infrastructure is not able to cope with the situation gets off to the. weather to be

a lack of pass now anywhere in germany the army is prepared to step in to help. germany is so far enjoying relative success in fighting the krona virus so perhaps it's not surprising that sports fans and club administrators are asking well when can we see football again some club officials hope to resume the bonus league or season in may even if the stadiums are empty. in this league games being played without its. back taters was almost unimaginable just several weeks ago. fritsch a board member with the german football league and a politician and health experts have starkly different takes whether the league should even pick up where it left off. personally i don't think game 3 good idea but i know the german football league club supporting a lot of pressure on politicians.

why shouldn't football be allowed to do that if it happens within the rules and people when not preparing for the fact that we can at least play with spectators is just like every company that's preparing for a return to normal working conditions i don't know what's wrong with that. with teams back on the training pitches many questions remain unanswered how would social distancing rules be possible when any return would still involve 2 teams substitutes coaches medical staff and security and what about making sure everyone is virus free was he wouldn't see if we use a lot of tasks that we urgently need in the medical system for example in cash for cities and also for those who are suspected of being infected. however things pan out celebrations like last season seem a long way off. now to some of the other stories making news around the world
