everybody. stay safe stay safe for us to stay safe. like. oh. my gorgeous love was sued for the russian so. it still. has so many different walks of life. some are pumping and oddly trying to put all of this comes straight from the heart to its former c.e.o. and horns in the morning delusion the march quarter inches. from the 1st glimpse of the law to their final resting place the russians are documentary.

this is a city in south korea just north of the country's capital so. who is on his way to an appointment. and was there are you here for a test and then yes this is for you to read it. and these are to wipe down anything in the car you've touched with your hands on it. this drive through testing the size has been set up on a parking don't people up presence here without having to leave their cars. the 1st step is to fill out a questionnaire. when you're going to have a list any travelling i've done recently on the symptoms that i have on 10 have you been to china or if you're upset or any other country affected by the pandemic in the past 2 weeks any call things. sore throat chills shortness of breath or other

respiratory issues now more than usual. give young sue felt a little feverish this morning so he decided to get himself tested. at the next stop is temperatures take. it says 37.5 now the other side. is going to be 7.5 kind of high just slightly elevated this side is 37.2 you. please proceed to the next station. thank you. awful straight ahead or. at the 3rd stop the doctor is waiting he too is dressed in protective gear. your temperature is

a bit elevated on that. so we'd like to get a swab sample. that's done at yes another station. this may feel a little uncomfortable. just to warn you it goes are you going to. annoy us wrote i say. that's all thank you all when you look at the results within 2 days it usually takes just one do not leave your home until you hear from us if you live with others isolate yourself as much as possible without home for the result you will be notified by text message ok. you're. going to care so while it is expected a swap to be so deep. kim kyong sue is just one of hundreds of thousands of koreans

who have been tested while in a car anyone can get tested and it's free to those with even the slightest sometimes otherwise it costs the equivalent of 150 euros. the south korean government views mass testing as key to controlling the spread of the covert virus that allows the country to isolate and treat infected persons early on. this policy which differs from those in most western countries has enabled south korea to largely contain the virus. china where the new virus 1st appeared in december 2019 also seems to be making strides it's used every means possible to stem the disease and who both province and in the rest of the country unprecedented controls were imposed on the people even by chinese standards in the meantime the number of new cases has dropped significantly on taiwan which

china considers a renegade province the virus was successfully staved off before it could have a big impact millions of masks were produced at short notice like in south korea taiwan has demonstrated that even in a democracy it is possible to impede the spread of infection. initially japan dealt with the pandemic quite differently. it chose not to impose any restrictions or quarantine measures. this report takes a closer look at how 4 different countries in asia are handling the current pandemic. in the young solutions as has suffered ria is relying on the latest technology to help keep the virus from spreading. in japan constant asimo observes how the population's natural inclination toward social distancing due to politeness may be working in its favor in their zings diversity on

a basic and his family spent 2 months and self isolation with china's drastic measures appearing to have paid off he's able to leave the confines of his apartment and anti one lucy about designers discovered how the country relies on the united effort of its people. in times of crises like this. after the initial outbreak in china asian tourists were regarded with suspicion in much of europe now it's the other way round china has closed its borders to europeans having been the starting point of the epidemic asia and i now offer this solution. we begin our investigation in china where the epidemic 1st began in december 29th. on a basic french journalist has been living in beijing for 10 years. it's been mandatory to wear a mask in public for the past 2 months. and now the gloves.

until recently it was only possible to get out once or twice a week it's like suiting up for combat. you know. let's go back up. among all such devices. there is your stuff normally we would leave the housing complex this way this cage is just 50 metres from the door but it's closed off. miles. it's easy difficult to pass parcels over the barrier could be part of this going on because how do you know it's you don't know don't know how to more go all the way across the housing complex. constantly under surveillance. there are

cameras everywhere. it's best not to circumvent the checkpoints or guard posts. otherwise you'll be reported. residents must have permission to leave their homes local communist party committees have set up guard posts at all the housing estates there manned 24 hours a day. here on the grounds of the housing complex they have put up shelving thought all the deliveries. every package has to be picked up here. they can really pileup. on the livery service is a really popular in china. and even more so now because most stores are closed. taiwan is about 150 kilometers off the coast of china this island state of 24000000 inhabitants has done a good job of protecting itself from the epidemic since the communist takeover of

mainland china in 1949 taiwan has sought to operate independently of its big brother which has both the islands biggest enemy and it's not just trading partner . 1000000 taiwanese work in mainland china. you see back bazaar a french journalist moved to the capital taipei a few months ago with the help of her time and he's roommates she's learning a lot about the country and its customs and care on the social media fare is defo dogs act if you advice ok you tell me more about it yes so this year dog has a very lovely character that's been put up by the ministry of health and welfare to let the public know what we should do so this is on social media and it tells us for example how we must wash our hands as often as possible. this shiba inu called son joey is the spokes dog for the taiwanese ministry of health the government is using a range of digital mascots to tell the public how to manage. good hygiene the campaign

began in early december that no other country reacted as swiftly at that point they zing was still trying hard to play down the situation. it was also in december that taiwan began imposing quarantine on people arriving from the epicenter of the epidemic a few weeks later it closed its borders completely 2 overs it is from china at the same time the country started mass producing protective masks making them available to every citizen there how long have you been waiting in the skew. pappano or as long as you have your idea you can buy masks at a pharmacy once a week you need your id. yes and if you bring their id you can also buy masks for other people who are unable to do it themselves. i would agree masks are we for adult and 5 per

child. this is them is fair affordable masks available to everyone and the drug stores aren't allowed to raise the price. in order to ensure masks are available to the whole population the government mobilized the entire industrial sector this it was committed to film in one of the largest factories. in the u.s. one of the cleanest factories in taiwan. she 1st has to pass through several air locks. the air in the factory is checked for bacteria several times a day since the end of 2019 these production lines have been operating at full

capacity. you never call cher honey both of you with a mask and every day we have a 700 year old and get it. passed it will be. solid argument. to ensure production runs smoothly the taiwanese government supplies factories with the raw materials soldiers have also been trained as backup manpower that enables taiwan to produce 10000000 masks a day for its population of 24000000. but the companies are under a lot of pressure a police officer might stop by at any moment although nobody on that out got the. thought that the bodies that were checked by. the directed doesn't appear shocked by this very strict supervision help us along with a century or so journalists and shooter police to help to the government couple so help to justify terri can you know but use

a mask very comfortable. while other countries was still choosing to ignore the coronavirus taiwan was already planning ahead. in the meantime it's now producing masks for export is no shortage of them in taiwan. it's just an hour's flight from taiwan to solve south korea. kim jong soon lives in an apartment in a suburb of the capital 24 hours have passed since he was tested folk over at 19 and he's still waiting to hear the result. of reversing most all forms of checking my phone i should have received a message by now it with the group who's there it is the test was negative i have to admit i'm relieved now i can go back to work this.

we were accompanying him being sued to city hall to learn more about how the mass screenings are organized. but there are still a few extra steps to take before we can really enter the building. look there's a disinfection build. once inside the procedure continues temperature control. anyone measuring more than $37.00 is taken aside. from a cover that only in this case will have to take her to a testing center to find out whether or not she's in fact it was.

the building's interior is constantly being disinfected that it allows the minister bill services to function without interruption going on for mayor was the 1st to set up a testing center for citizens. just as everywhere else here in south korea there are areas with higher and lower numbers of infection but because we test everybody those who test positive arise related and treated quickly that's why we've had fewer deaths we chose not to impose restrictions on movement and that i was the greatest challenge. so as not to leave anything to chance streets public transport and open spaces are continuously disinfected. bottles of hand sanitizer. there have also been placed countless intersections.

just a 1000 kilometers away in japan it's a very different story now drastic measures were taken to prevent the spread of the virus. constantine's in moore and his family came to tokyo 2 years ago. one hour of homework and then you can watch a video ok. i'll give you a tour of the apartment it will give us things are a little complicated at the moment because the kids have been here at home for a month everything happened here quite a while before it hit europe on the 7th of april a state of emergency was declared in tokyo and since other prefect is citizens were requested to work from home and avoid going out until that point only schools have been closed my eyes why aren't you at school because of work.

for a long while japanese authorities took a lax approach saying that the rate of infection in japan was slow but the virus has since spread all over the country that was up well it's just and here in japan is that there's no sense of panic or worry. there's a kind of japanese composure that's almost trouble at times. there's not much testing it's not clear why the government isn't doing more testing ok that makes you wonder whether the virus really isn't spreading or if the government is hiding something. which they want to save the olympic games yes that's what i thought at 1st is that you know you know the thinking is have been postponed. this is because you could even saw that mysterious. as you would do about it but what i. understand that but. decided not to mass test its population. the mood here is relaxed except when it comes to toilet paper

. and on the phone live or school one of the biggest problem so far has been the supply of toilet paper that there isn't much available in japan and we did we plan ahead. as you can see we haven't got much in reserve. when we run out we'll have to rely on japanese technology you. will have to figure out which one of these buttons turns on the water jet i'll do that later when i'm alone 'd. japan has plenty of experience when it comes to handling crisis situations like fukushima and 2011 perhaps that's one reason why many japanese have been taking the coronavirus in this stride until the end of march the streets of tokyo with just as busy as ever. here we are at tokyo's famous ship we are crossing and honestly it's

just like it always is. constant tells him oh it is a regular at ruby ridge in this popular district while he and others dons the nicer way in early april most of europe was in government imposed lockdown. i see a lot of people wearing face masks but i can't be bothered i don't think it's necessary . here people are more worried about getting the flu than the corona virus that only infects all people. but. what's behind this seeming lack of concern this young woman thinks it's her generation's duty to carry on the. as usual. that's right there won't be

a vaccine for another 6 months to a year where young people have to go out to keep the economy going. we all experienced what it was like after the earthquake in fukushima on march 27th it was really really depressing that's why i want to go out now. but shortly after these scenes were recorded really room decided to close at least temporarily in most of rising infections tucker is now encouraging social distancing measures like those practiced in europe or china where they have a demick 1st began. with back in beijing china where officials wearing red suits or arm bands are posted on every corner and you can't go one block without being stopped. by

god almost songs were exchanged in around 160000 people are members of neighborhood committees in beijing a. son. that's one for every $30.00 to $40.00 citizens. would all be jocular eagerness to molder. they know the neighborhood but you can't call them before. what it was sort of positive but she also was sparing no more than another listen instead of follow the rules. with good people she just yes. those who are in general can expect to be prosecuted. right in front of them or. these residential committees are mainly staffed by members of the ruling communist party in normal times it's their task to maintain political control of the population but now they're helping with epidemic control efforts if you don't live in the neighborhood you aren't allowed 3. hours which.

is about the only basic was given permission to visit a shopping center before he enters he must give his name address and phone number if anyone on the list tests positive for corona the others who are here at the same time can be informed no problem ok. so you. see there are sadly stay still letters into these small streets full of cafes and bars if no one is allowed to come here they all go bankrupt so. that there's more to it than that even if the shop is open it doesn't mean that you're welcome to enter at this hair salon you 1st have to register by your smartphone my phone will indicate whether or not i can go in. if they have my number they can see that i haven't traveled anywhere in the past 2 weeks and that i

don't pose a risk. is this is this is some systematic on security it's really a practical system imo shops in beijing are using it because there's data system lets the hairstylist know if a customer is ill or even if they've had contact with someone else who has the virus if so he is free to refuse service in 1st so if you were caught for you lose your internet like to her way of controlling people. where they get the information i don't know. your thought is just need your phone number in order to tell where you've been. they may be useful for combating the epidemic but it could obviously be used in other situations too. generated does a good job of tracking people's movements as if you just do completely depress me. at the entrance to most buildings people's temperatures are taken as transit all in white all. of those are just off sometimes a wrist is enough. for. this sophisticated surveillance system combines

temperature readings with face recognition even when a mask is worn people can then be located via mobile tracking. those who are ill have no chance of avoiding quarantine every shop and all public spaces are connected to the system. and. we're actually here sort of new one who dreams and this is one food chain straight also known as beijing's seans elisa. knew. it merely heavily guarded at the moment. oh god i'm police vehicles roughly every 100 meters.

sign informs people of the proportions they must take when they go to work where i'm asked question i asked and then there's an image of a foreigner behind bars it seems i failed to tell the truth. he brought the virus back with him and didn't spend time on quarantine the foreigner belongs in jail. china has been blamed for the spread of the virus by trying to dissimulate the origin of the propagation it hasn't turned stoke to mistrust of foreignness who have for the regime become the principal menace of the epidemic if you will on one thing are certain very few people are flying anywhere at the moment. this is the express train to beijing was having lunch. with an international air travel has been suspended. except for flights operated by the chinese airline. these are very strictly controlled on. this train. no.

foreign is there no longer allowed to enter china with the exception of diplomats otherwise the borders are completely closed and chinese citizens returning home from abroad are forced into quarantine no exceptions are made the people are taken to pre-designated quarters and the police escort. returned to taiwan where lucy baba zines has already spent several months the island nation anticipated the coronavirus crisis early on and in contrast to europe hardly anything changed in terms of public life once a week you see it meets with the taiwanese student for a language exchange where they practice mandarin and french. impressed me with a give ok having mary how about a corner of your house. in order to reduce the risk of infection all the public water fountains have been turned off so i did the opposite because when people

drink the water they touch the spout with their mouths. ok next hour so that makes sense i guess of all my bottle somewhere else. public transport on the other hand was never interrupted on this board and i'll definitely wear a mask in the subway. a 1000000 messed up. the discipline demonstrated by the time when his has been exemplary people still have vivid memories of the czar's epidemic in 2003. that was a problem that all we can all remember how it was during the sars outbreak the taipei hospital was so overwhelmed with patients it had to be shut down many young

people died. since then we believe prevention is better than the cure. for the ok. $73.00 people died during the 2003 zaza pathetic in the aftermath taiwan established the centers for disease control to combat the threat of communicable diseases $124.00 safety protocols were drawn up and they have gradually been implemented starting in january. one of those measures is taking a temperature reading of everyone entering a public building making it possible to keep schools and universities open in taiwan if a large measure goes into effect today a verification code for all students. at the entrance to the university all students must register and report their temperature reading. so couldn't you just write down any member to get him you want to get on the taiwanese

wouldn't lie we know how important this is. one success in the fight against covert 19 is down to the willingness of each individual to support the prevention measures laid out by the government cares and that is all things and i guess they call her she thinks the situation here compares to that in china but she didn't want to talk about it maybe a while to thailand success is that here they communicate openly whereas in china they withhold information. while china did its best to censure the outbreak of the epidemic the taiwanese government was completely upfront about it the health care systems in taiwan and china seem to be just as different as they form of society. lucy is paying a visit to the taiwan centers for disease control. every day the center informs the

public of new cases of infection. they're told the patients age and gender as well as information on their whereabouts. all health care professionals share new data as quickly as possible as part of the strategy to keep the virus at bay. i was a pretty strong network of the laboratory test because when you can use in the laboratory examination to come for in the cases now we can test 3000 people every day so that's pretty large enough. before how one so we can point to the case earlier. those who test positive are immediately quarantined and their relatives informed in addition those infected or even

suspected of carrying the virus are electronically tracked the practice is widely accepted in eastern asia. this is a visitor to french nationals placed under quarantine by the taiwanese authorities the previous week one of the roommates tested positive for the corona virus since then no one is allowed to leave the apartment under any circumstances all their food has to be delivered. this is young people from the centers for disease control came here and gave each of us a few masks we had to sign a statement promising to abide by all the rules and restrictions. we were also given a telephone number with a direct connection to the center. we have to call 3 times a day and report our temperatures and any symptoms we might have. they found out via the internet that these phones reveal our whereabouts. a friend

of mine was erroneously traced as being outside his apartment although he was actually at home. the police showed up at his house to make sure he was really there. it's similar to an electronic ankle bracelet the slightest breach could result in a 31000 year fine police recently called one young man who was supposed to be under quarantine at a nightclub. yeah good. morning tina by definition is a deprivation of liberty. but in this situation it's necessary. a way and i think that the taiwanese government is doing what it can in the face of a global crisis. and this is how it prohibits people from violating the rules it's . the government's swift response and sophisticated surveillance technology has proven effective in taiwan's efforts to contain the epidemic.

that in south korea kim yong soo is getting ready to go shopping. resurrection last thing before leaving putting on a mask. at the supermarket disinfecting supplies are readily available and free of charge. but that's not all technology enables customers to avoid contact with any infected individuals undertone i just as the body of her vacation. or know someone has been confirmed positive it will last but so far for me just landed at the airport from a trip abroad.

without he's in a car on his way home he lives right around the corner from here through and through the. results of the warnings about it with one click on 6 and find out everything about cases in the area age of patient where they fit state of health and even their address. this computer transparency has not going to overwhelm. with everyone in korean society that it does give many people listens of security. for them there are more people in the store that i expected when i was. on his wife is starting to return to normal. all of the groceries are disinfected it's become routine by now.

dinner tonight is noodles there is no shortage of pastor in stores. there are a lot of people out and about a lot more than last week but everyone's wearing a mask. it has a boss couldn't. tomorrow shopping is ordered online large retailers have adapted to the situation and offer efficient delivery services anything ordered by midnight is delivered to your door by 7 am the next day. this coming nation of widespread testing registration and tracking systems consistent disinfecting and general discipline helped to keep the 1st wave of the covert virus under control but south

korea is still braced for a 2nd wave reports indicate that the number of new infections is rising against likely. in japan tradition appears to take precedence every year and spring crowds flock to the parks to admire the cherry blossoms. and i love that. i get the feeling. i get. french journalists constantine's i'm over surprised by the crowds. but there are so many people in the parks it's incredible i thought you could almost per get that there's a global pandemic going on i guess seem so carefree as if nothing had happened. here in new york the park and the other sites that were to host the olympic games

in tokyo this summer they've now been postponed but that doesn't seem to worry too many people. nevertheless the authorities have clearly posted instructions on the cherry trees in order to help the spread of the coronavirus please refrain from eating and drinking. most of those gathered here are young older people more precautious have decided to avoid her nanny the traditional custom of the un flowers. i love friends who decided. to come this year. they didn't want to take any risks. but we didn't want to mess it. up. and we're taking care to keep our hands clean. cleanliness is the most important thing. that i. have the major secret of the japanese is that's their cleanliness this group of friends once to demonstrate this to constantine.

that. i was i was 7 perhaps it's one of the reasons why the corona virus has spread so much in japan but the japanese are very fastidious i didn't realize it was like that do you buy that every other. in february at the height of the epidemic in china sebastiani basic vented out into the empty streets of beijing. when you don't get to the bone to use a salad tune you are it's usually one of the liveliest areas in the city the johns want to get from you you know on a friday afternoon or people are getting ready to go out to the shops or restaurants foreign only my guest now as you can see that there's absolutely no one around the sun of almost all the shops are closed with fish or there's not a whole lot you can do because it's a strange atmosphere because. then that was found. in the back to korea.

recently he returned to the area 1st a beijing is almost like he used to be. one of the porters you. know small who knows the traffic you don't piss off the people out shopping all going to work out i mean what are you. the figure going up or destroy both fields of the air pollution alone indicates that life is slowly returning to normal. in dazing life is regaining some of its color not all establishment have reopened for business but this restaurant has almost all what we serve cantonese cuisine roasted fowl is my specialty like duck goose. and i want to national prize for this

recipe. this enterprising restaurant owner has kept his customers satisfied by offering takeaway dishes. sizzle water for tom i'm very optimistic the statistics are very promising now and i think we're over the worst of it. you know why the country did such a good job at keeping its people under control. good that's how we were able to contain the epidemic in the young people's water with each passing day more and more people are returning to the commercial districts all the stores are open. we're in sunday too and it's a mixture of fancy shops and trendy restaurants but of course there are still checks we're safe here but. this is starting to pick up customers have to maintain a distance of one meter but answer small sacrifice to get into an apple store they're closed all over the world except in china that's sort of the irony of the

whole story they were the 1st closed and now they're open again things aren't quite back to normal but they're getting there. if you know me on the way yeah i feel a lot better today the stress is gone for me almost everything is back to normal the only thing we'll continue to do is avoid large gatherings and try not to stay too long and heavily frequented places but that's it i don't have a problem doing that. you know your friends has a good health care system so there shouldn't be so many deaths. if you know it why is the number of infections there rising. i think that's because the french don't abide by the rules. maybe that has something to do with your political system. but i usually don't know. i think i think it's the couch heard the 1st. one then you individualistic the other managers like the actors the more. so i could

i go from that post back then i can understand why we have different ideas but i think in critical times like this. it's probably necessary to take a step back. to put the money jersey. at stake. and not just make it an. individual perspective. china japan taiwan and south korea have who followed a different approach to the pandemic than countries in europe. not all of the measurements may be compatible with european ideals. but it's still not clear which approach to mckee prove most effective when it comes to conquering the virus.
