what we know from data from all countries, including data from the u.s., china, italy, iran, korea, japan, and others, is that this virus can cause mild disease, can cause moderate disease, which is described as people who still have pneumonia but do not need oxygen support, can cause severe disease, can cause critical disease, and can kill some people. amongst children, the data we have seen from a number of countries is that the majority of children that are infected are experiencing mild disease, but we do have reports and there are some publications now that describe severe disease in children. we have reports of death in children. there's one in china and i believe one in the united states as well. we do need more well-characterized descriptions of severity across the age groups so that we can better summarize what we know about this in the different age groups. ideally, what we would like to see is the use of a clinical characterization protocol. this is another data capture platform that the who has that the w.h.o. has launched, which involves systematic data collection in terms of

we do know there are travel notices for china, italy, iran, and other countries. so keep an eye on that. for domestic travel, you know, the guidelines are really different based on your age. if you're, you know, older in age, then it is advised to be a little more cautious and aware of being at higher risk compared with, you know, if you're at a younger age. >> speaking of age, i know the cdc recent put out new guidelines, particularly for the people who are most vulnerable for the coronavirus, and that is, of course, the elderly. >> exactly. and if have you any underlying health conditions. and those guidelines, we should have them here, they include stay at home if you can, avoid people who might be sick, as well. and avoid crowds if you can. so as long as you follow those guidelines, that should help you to lower your risk of infection. again, if you're at older age and have any underlying health conditions, be more on the alert. >> if you're older, your immune system is weaker than the average person, right. >> right. >> common sense precautionary tips. thank

we have been testing persons of interest who have been -- traveled to impacted country, china, italy, iran, south korea, japan, or on cruise ships that had traveled to ports of entry and exhibiting symptoms we talked about already. we have been working with our local health care providers -- i am using this more a local basis but i will say this on a national basis, naccho members are working with health care providers to make sure they know what to look for, answers questions and in some cases making sure they have the c.d.c. test kits to test for the virus. the guidance for testing has really shifted this week. like in our market, if we had a suspect case, we have had to talk with our department of health state services in texas as well as the c.d.c. and now it's my understanding that that testing has gone more into providers hands. a provider can if they believe that this person needs to be tested for coronavirus, if there is a travel history or other types of way they may have contracted the disease, the provider has the ability to start doing that. local media -- i am going to harp on

respiratory symptoms and a history of travel to the countries of concern, which at this point include china, italy, iran -- a mask is placed on the patient and then they are further questioned with the health care worker donning protective equipment. so, this has been recognized from the beginning, and that's an attempt to minimize the risk of exposure to the health care worker, because obviously, we need them to carry on with caring for ill patients, not only with coronavirus, but everything else that comes into the hospital. >> and even with precautions, that repeated exposure that hospital workers have makes them more susceptible for coming down with the coronavirus. do you think there's going to be a shortage of hospital workers here as the outbreak grows? >> there certainly will be some health care workers that have to be furloughed from work because of exposure or because of developing symptoms, but repeated exposures or repeated opportunities to be exposed shouldn't be a risk if they're employing appropriate protective equipment. >> okay. and so, what do hospitals do if they reach capacity? >> we

the virus so far, despite recording more than 13,000 infections, more than anywhere except china, italy, iranin spain has climbed by more than a quarter to 17,147. so what factors lie behind the stark difference in death rates between germany and spain? well, the bbc is in madrid, but first let's hear from jenny hill in berlin. there are a number of theories as to why the death rate in germany is comparatively low, the first is that experts say that germany is in the relatively earth early stages of the epidemic, secondly it has got a well resourced and rather robust health system, but thirdly, and perhaps crucially, it's about the experts say the way in which testing has been carried out here. the authorities have tested very widely, and they have tested very quickly. that's, in theory, means that people are being caught in the early stages of infection, and in theory, it means that there are fewer un—detected cases out there. it's perhaps worth noting too, that a lot of the people who have been tested and confirmed positive so far have been relatively young, just i can tell you that a frien

more than 8000 people have died from the virus the number fatalities in china italy iran spain and france are amongst the higher. with the latest jump in italy and spain the overall death toll across europe are suppose trying to soothe a province where the virus originated the world health organization says the continent has replaced today as the epicenter 5 days ago well strict lock downs are now in place across much of europe and the effect is very clear take a look at this video shot in central paris just a few hours ago it was just taken at 1 o'clock local time the streets are empty the shops are closed. there cafes are open and there are no pedestrians in fact there are no visitors. that is the concorde should be very busy at this lunchtime period but it's not. leading down to the seans elisei just listening to just clear silence. the entire country of course is under a 15 day lockdown let's cross over to paul brennan our correspondent in our london news center and of course the the french are making it very clear that this is the way forward not just for their country and their neig
