in quarantine intention but here is what we know about this new cluster of cases. yeah it appeared in the biggest wholesale market food wholesale market in beijing huge market that supplies the whole city with fresh foods. though the authorities have released this very early. that they found a sample of the virus on a board used in cutting imported solomon as they put it but by now we know that it has been found on 40 other objects in the market and 45 people have been have tested positive it is not clear what the origins of the virus were how it arrived at that market but it is have been quick to to to shut down huge parts of the surrounding areas they have delayed schools. reopening off

schools and all kinds of measures are being put up that has just been disappeared from beijing streets all kinds of checkpoints etc are being quickly put up again these are the 1st domestically transmitted cases in beijing in almost 2 months people satisfied with the wealth already have been handling the crisis and in particular this cluster. it's hard to say because this class is very new and we're getting new information all the time it's just been a few hours since we have known that it's more than just a few cases but 45 is as the number is right now in general i would say that people have been confident in their reply to the measures that the government has used to bring their numbers down in the past few months many people are saying that china is now a safe place have been saying on tuesday i should rather say. so it's hard to say

at the moment how the school play out how these measures will play out what will be the result of people support in general i would say the majority of them we never know really there's a lot of distortion due to censorship due to non-existing opinion polls but i would say the majority of people certainly support harsh measures quick measures tough measures on your break correspondent but he is billing us speaking to us from tangent china thanks very much for the update. and now let me bring you up to date with some of the other latest developments in the pandemic poland has reopened its borders to its a you name biz after being closed for nearly 3 months tourists from germany czech republic slovakia and lithuania can now enter the country border controls we know in a unite as are also being relaxed greece is preparing to admit foreign visitors from monday with its economy heavily reliant on tourism but flights from the coronavirus

hotspots such as the u.k. will not be allowed in india has reported its biggest single day rise in corona virus cases nearly $12000.00 infections were recorded within just 24 hours taking the total to more than 300000. russia's coronavirus cases have now surpassed 520001 friday president vladimir putin has made his 1st public appearance in weeks at a russia day ceremony in moscow he did not wear a mask and shook hands with others critics say potent has not taken the pandemic seriously enough now more people are questioning the country's reporting of the coronavirus crisis. and death toll remain significantly lower than in other countries despite citing the 3rd highest number of infections worldwide and some family members of people have recently died and now calling for more clarity on their clutch cover once just as for her mother. died on may 21st in

a hospital in russia's jaroslav all region she was a receptionist at a medical center founders convinced her mother caught the coronavirus at work. but in the mood to figure out who her husband gave me a sewing machine and i sewed her masks out of 4 layers of bandages with rubber bands she wasn't given anything at work as you get to. meet you when you. the novel coronavirus is listed as one of the causes of her mother's death but anna says she still hasn't found her mother in the official $1000.00 statistics russia has officially registered around $7000.00 coronavirus deaths which is extremely low compared to other european countries a world health organization official recently said russia's death rate is quote hard to understand russian officials have said the low number is due to widespread testing and an effective medical system. or statistics on the new

international classification guidelines of the w.h.o. and on recommendations on diagnosing covert 19 as a cause of death. but analysts have said regional and national numbers look doctored for example on april 30th there were 7099 new infections in russia on may 8th 106991 the 12th 108991 the 24th $8599.00 boris of cheney is that data analyst he told t w the statistical likelihood that the numbers would end in 1900 times in that period is implausible. like the intended to report a round number but they also knew that people might find that

a bit suspicious. so before they published the figures they changed all of them to 99. the fact that an a clutch covers mother has been omitted from the list of coronavirus dead made her funeral feel even more unfair. that i was told she had to be in a closed casket and in a body bag they didn't allow us to pass on her cross and her clothes the coffin was nailed shut we don't even know who is in the coffin or if it's even her and there is not a number that is a coach in the group with you all and what was worse herself couldn't attend the funeral because she'd caught the coronavirus probably from her mother and was in quarantine. for more let's bring in alec lu is a correspondent for the daily telegraph in moscow thanks for joining me russia's strict coronavirus lockdown measures were at this wake but today new figures show

the nationwide tally of confirmed kovac 19 infections now exceeds 520000 people worried. you would think there would be but the general atmosphere here is definitely not show that's seen a lot of people walking around without masks. even though moscow technically has a fireman and if you want to public wear a mask a lot of people are in masks or just plain them down around their face and i don't think that's that's really surprising given given the picture that people who. listen to and watch russian media are getting russian state television has really focused on what the authorities are doing to combat this pandemic very rosy picture are is being presented and i think more importantly it's not really relevant to the authorities here what people are thinking about this process after

a while your food and right now the most important thing is to hold the victory day parade next week and then hold a constitutional vote the week after that and all a national vote to show the people support this move to. change the constitution and allow himself to remain in power until 2036 yeah now as we've been reporting as we just reported in that in that pace there's new data suggesting russia may have even more coded 19 deaths than they've been reporting why might there be such a discrepancy in the figure is. well it really appears that the russian authorities were counting differently than the rest of the world essentially. patients that had trauma virus along with other complications other conditions who then died were registered as dying from another condition in many cases rather than from the corona virus that would be brought about the incident so essentially the most the core virus to shorten the main caused by doctors or rulers do in an arc are sick in

the patients not registered as growers just which leads to a death rate that is somewhere around one percent here far less than in other countries now the authorities say that they're going to start registering as were covered by other conditions but we still haven't seen that reflected in the. alec loan from the daily telegraph correspondent in moscow thanks very much for your reporting. and attending to some of the other stories making news this hour brazil has now overtaken britain to become the country with the 2nd highest coronavirus death toll standing and nearly 42000 the government is largely opening up the economy despite warnings from experts that the country has yet to reach the peak of the infection spread. and at least 5 people have been killed after heavy rain caused severe floods in the south the chinese region of our state media says
