a virus cases are now nearly 87000 infections in the country this comes as the government is set to announce whether to extend lockdown measures. i'm rebecca rate as welcome to the program italy's government has announced that tarus will again be able to visit from june 3rd a 14 day mandatory quarantine period will also be scrapped it's a big step for a country recovering not only from one of the world's worst coronavirus outbreaks but also the huge economic cost of lock down. famous for once having too many visitors the coronavirus has lived in venice deserted many here who rely on tourism eager for people to return but it's a balancing act between preventing

a 2nd wave of coronavirus while reopening the city. i hope the authorities will manage the city get away that is a compromise between the city we knew then and the one we are experiencing today. he said lee became the center of the coronavirus in europe in late february the government imposed a crippling shutdown and the pandemic has so far killed over 30000 people areas on the address to cars to have taken a huge hit but travelers will soon be allowed back in time for summer. months we've had only 2 overnight stays this gives you an idea of the situation. for reopening according to the regulations in force at the moment so it just didn't sing let's face masks and gloves and disinfection gel to resume accounts for more than a 10th of italy's g.d.p.

and industry it's desperate to salvage many here are relying on people visiting some of the world's most iconic attractions once again. journalist saying they get to joins me now from rome same a huge sigh of relief for many in italy i imagine what's the reaction been to this announcement. you know well i think really it's a question of that balancing act that we heard in that report about considering the needs for the economy and kickstarting that at the same time being unsure and anxious about the health and security needs of the citizens and the people who come to visit i mean clearly the infection rate has fallen particularly in recent days the pressure that we saw on the health care system has the significant the but the pressure on the economy has definitely increased the pressure to agree or but come monday the 18th of week will really could see museums as well as retail shops open

the push to. opening day for restaurants as well as headdresses it was supposed to be the 1st of june and now it's the 18th of may as well all of this with social distancing in place mosque hand sanitizers been checking the temperature where quiet places of worship will also be open for the public of course with a specific number of people entering and exiting at the same time so all this happening go many italians still quite anxious about whether there's going to be a 2nd wave of infections so really they'll be waiting to see how things progress in the next coming days and weeks up until the 3rd of june when it's also open to a broad you talk about that balancing act which of course we're saying in many places but in this announcement a sign that the government feels they've really got the virus under control in italy. i think what they feel is that they have the impact of the health care system under control and they're doing their testing and they're setting is

a site those measures for tracing and they feel that the pressure there is overwhelming in terms of kickstarting and in reopening the economy the f.t. denia logical situation in the country right now is stable and so it is about time to get things started and the government has retained all the while the ability to reimpose those lockdown measures nationally if they feel that there's a spike of gold $96.00 really may be opening up to tariffs again and but many countries including germany are still advising against traveling unless absolutely necessary so what happens if the tourists stay at home. well for the moment that 3rd issue that has been such sites for opening is not just for tourists from abroad but it's also from within the country because after all the 3rd of june you're not going to be allowed out of the region that you're so. their vacation something you have

a lot of the country you have people from the north coming out to enjoy the beaches there so people will be talking to the local tourism as well but of course. with that you it will be the tourists come and the different regions will be targeting those countries when with promotions trying to the arctic. and protocols in place to make sure that you can have some of all the while making sure that everything is done. just. putting in place the sea. walls to their profit margins as well so they're also what's it like so i think very much it's going to be a situation of wait and see how things progress in the coming weeks wait and see a journalist seem to speaking to us from a very windy rome thanks very much. germany has also taken another major

step towards returning to normal say after months of coronavirus restrictions starting today germany is lifting border controls with luxembourg it's also relaxing checks at its border with austria france and switzerland authorities say that if they can keep the virus in check germans could resume free travel within the a you by mid june just in time for the summer holidays. did his best and heart is has been monitoring the situation on the german side of the border with austria and told us what's different starting today. traffic is rolling here at the german austrian border only some cars are being pulled over to be inspected by the border police you still need a valid reason to enter the country that hasn't changed what has changed is the definition of what a valid reason is up to now it was mainly people commuting for work for example or say german citizens returning home now it's been expanded to also include for example people wanted to cross the border to visit their loved ones and family

members on the other side and for some that makes all the difference. let's have a look at the latest developments in the coronavirus pandemic spain's government says it will seek a fresh extension of its state of emergency that will last about a month until the transition out of the lock down is completed bridge research as a launching a trial to say whether dogs can use their noses to detect covert 9 tain in humans before they show symptoms russian health authorities say they've registered an additional 9200 corona virus infections in the past 24 hours and the german bundesliga has resumed play today after a 2 month suspension because of the virus teams are playing and a new hygiene rules and without any fans in the stadium. the number of indians confirmed coronavirus cases has surpassed china's climbing to nearly 86000 infections but so far the death right in india appears better when compared with

china indian health officials say that could be because most people infected are either asymptomatic or had mild symptoms the country's swift and vast shutdown is also credited with preventing a worse outbreak the government is set to decide on whether to extend india india's nearly 7 week lock down of more on this now i am joined by india correspondent maisha giants fan from delhi nimation the caseload is higher than in china now does this mean the country's likely to extend lockdown measures. but a record looks like the opposite in fact right now yes turned off its long and strong moral on sunday and. indicated that all of that using is likely on one day already over the last 2 weeks people have been allowed to come out more in private their offices are started off in some capacity and it seems that just what steve actually might bring some limited public transport background at all it seems have

already started running it seems that the government seems fairly confident despite the hike use the word again perhaps indicating the lower deck suit and the high have to come to india as a reason why to use this. now we're getting some early word from the i have paid news agency about the conditions in one of mumbai's hospitals that they're. particularly devastating there and how is the indian health system coping with this issue ation. that actually is the consignee given that you think it's happening the government has. been our infrastructure and even increasing its feet per day of production companies and we have the capital and you have anything that open up everything that you've. talked to enough that the move to handle a slight but then what's light mumbai what's the through the speech part where the scene i'm buying has gone out of my rash travesty skin has over the total in the us

uses this saying that body bags lie in hospitals alongside and this is of course very concerning and we'll again have to see what exactly is actually going to be the direction you should let. go and how intense the out is. now the poor unsurprisingly have been particularly hard hit especially migrant workers and we're saying lots of devastating cases it is help on the way. i don't i've got announced a stimulus package which it seems is 10 percent of g.d.p. this is targeted at small business that's farmer's market and might and it's going to be we're being distributed by but again and again we're getting visuals on just from senators all my clients the government has started up teams in boxes over the last couple of weeks the. news of trying to just only have to be 24 why didn't. you know what accident over the last 2 weeks there's been similar

deaths reported all 50 deaths across the country so definitely the help is on the we need to get to these people more urgently and transport needs to be used so that they can see you get well without infecting others but also make it back. to us from delhi thanks very much. as restaurants in some countries begin to re-open they'll be required to ensure social distancing and to protect staff against the coronavirus that's forcing many dining establishments to re think how they can serve a customer as one restaurant in amsterdam has come up with a creative way for people to dine out safely in the age of virus. it's not just the perfect backdrop for a romantic dinner for 2 it's also a well photo concept from a clever amsterdam restaurant who are planning his next steps once measures to halt the coronavirus pandemic. which today we have to close we spent weeks

cleaning and reorganizing and while we were doing that we kept thinking what could we do we came up with lots of ideas including this one that the 3 square meter greenhouses came from an artists collective that used to grow plants in them with different like colors the guests for tonight's trial of the restaurant of the future our employees and their friends. that often they're out and about you're supposed to keep your distance but the question is for how long and how much do you want to give up for it that's why this is a good idea you're not putting anyone at risk and you can enjoy life that's important to you. stuff where plastic visors for protection so that guests can see their faces they were close while serving the food on wouldn't planck's to keep their distance but they must be careful not to tip over the boards or the candles.

every detail had to be carefully considered and tested to minimize contact a dedicated staff member looks after a single mini greenhouse all evening and they need to make sure that they don't poke their head inside it's already clear more staff are needed for fewer guests. it was always or directed to me as i was working you know the school hours. which means that people will be fooled will be having breakfast with. time the result from that will be able to accommodate lots of people with fewer seats. and to school. on time the concepts creators hope the author already swelled quickly give the idea their seal of approval when restaurants are allowed to reopen guests will be able to enjoy the romantic scenery of amsterdam's canals once again . and as a reminder of the top story we're following for you with corona virus infections on

the decline italy's government has announced that tourists will again be able to visit from june 3rd a 14 day mandatory quarantine.
