a. away. this is what it looks like when the coronavirus restrictions are back long lines and formed outside the testing facilities in the district of. the new restrictions here and in neighboring vive and off took effect at midnight mass testing follows a massive corona virus outbreak at 10 years slaughterhouse where more than 1500 workers have contracted covert 19. now some 600000 people are affected by the restrictions that are in place until next week at least. i want to get testy and do my part to find out about the situation and whether we are all infected or not. we want to travel to the very on saturday and the condition is to present a negative coronavirus test and that's our goal. summer holidays are about to begin but officials and popular destinations like the various say that brutal slow

residents are not welcome unless they show proof of testing negative for the virus neighboring country austria has gone even further targeting germany's most populous state as a whole. our neighbor germany with its state of north and this failure has shown how quickly the situation can turn dramatically so we were there for forced to issue a level 5 travel warning for the state and we hope of course that the situation there were quickly improve and that there won't be a further spread across germany and some. relief to see here. overall numbers are still low in germany but the latest local outbreaks are causing concern the meat processing industry in particular is under pressure dial living conditions of the workers are blamed for the spread of the virus. 23 workers have tested positive at the visa plant germany's biggest poultry plant where mass

testing of over 1000 black has got under way today. and we are joined now by dr toby a scratch he is a professor of public health and epidemiology at the sherry take clinic and our lead welcome to the program and thank you for joining us evening thanks for having me and what do you think of how the authorities are handling these new outbreaks i think the authorities are doing well in really in forcing the lock down and trying to isolate those clusters and trace people and test people to see us in effect that eventually the isolation hopefully as soon as possible but now it's very important to identify those last. seen in the reports it's not only in this area we have other classes in germany and so we need to be very careful and watch the situation very carefully so i think your thought these are doing well so it sounds like what you're saying is that these these strict lock downs are indeed necessary.

unfortunately is the only way right now that we know that will help to slow or stop this bret's and we work on a flexible level so we don't lock down entire north of us fairly about regional cities and villages and i think that's the current way that we that we can conduct these these measures well then locking down large regions. this these cases they're getting so much attention not only because of their scale but also because you know a lot of germans they if they are approaching summer holiday season p. people have plans talk with us about you know these outbreaks in the context of of the bigger picture what does it mean for the country what does it mean for the e.u. . well these spreads of these clusters come not surprisingly so the virus is there we knew that and when you open up the lockdown there's a certain risk or increased risk that people get infected again in particular now

people are traveling again so people are mingling from one country to the other country so we have to be extremely careful and we will have to watch very carefully the next day solve the situation develops now obviously if things get worse the lockdown will be. and it may affect their travel so really all should be reminded to wear face masks to really keep a distance and we should do the best we can to identify the clusters to test the people to trace people lying close proximity with those who are infected to really stop the spread as soon as possible it's really difficult to predict what's going to happen if you follow the situation other countries for example the united states where states have opened up and the few weeks later for the 5 weeks later they have a massive increase in the number of infected people so therefore with that in mind with that context and also with your expertise and there's a lot of talk about the possibility of

a 2nd wave of infections in germany do you think we're heading there. well it's always the question what you call a 2nd wave we see clusters of infections and this really has never stopped coming from a very low level luckily in germany but we have to now continue these measures and to continue to be very careful to maintain this low level and it can go very quick and we are up again we are facing lockdown dr toby esque at a professor of public health and epidemiology at the sherry take clinic in berlin thank you so much for joining us. thank you. for the coven 1000 pandemic has just wrapped up a global trade giving nations a chance to rethink their dependence on imported goods now uganda's president wants to reduce the country's dependence on products from china and support local manufacturers the move to produce more goods at home is putting fresh scrutiny on
