previously had a travel ban on some pretty one big countries that are known around the country for huge kovan $1000.00 infections so the us south korea china for example it's now added a significant number of countries to that list now there are 70 countries 73 countries in all if you've been in any of those 73 countries in the past 2 weeks you will be denied entry to japan now just to give some perspective that's one 3rd of all countries around the world the japanese government has also started to encourage its citizens not to travel to 50 countries including some of those countries i mentioned earlier but also mini developing countries as well for their safety and to prevent the spread of covert 19 and as you mentioned japan seemed to be doing quite well over the from the beginning of the outbreak had very close proximity to to china yet it's only had about 2000 cases so far now that seems a very low compared to other countries but what is very worrying in japan is that that number has doubled in recent weeks so there was sort of a false sense of security japan sort of escaped having to imp

and some but you also have to be exposed for prolonged exposure was somebody that's been infected kovan 1000 or from an area that's been less on the travel ban so when patients are called so my office and saying i want to get tested and they haven't been exposed they just want to get tested just to get tested that's also something we're trying to deter and prevent because you want to test people that actually have and have symptoms. right now sars c.o.v. to is the virus responsible for. the current pandemic it's a close cousin to the virus that caused the sars outbreak back in 2003 you know sars and mers they're both coronaviruses but are there any other types of sars is a type of coronavirus mers is a type of corona virus that also all 3 came from you know all 3 came from bats as well and then you have the human cloning virus which is a common cold right so the reason why this virus is able to be so contagious is think about it how many people get the common cold year over a 1000000000 people globally get the common cold so this is a common cold virus it's easy to spread it but it won'

from a profession or even worse than there is a global rush to get more kovan 1000 testing kits but the f.d.a. is putting money on hold we have a packed show for you today but let's start by tracking the coronavirus. the global toll for the corona virus now at nearly $20000.00 with more than 430000 come from cases the world health organization recommended fix actions that all government should take to prevent the spread of the coven 19. just expire on. your head. and probably go to work force and. implement a system to find every suspect it is a community level so ramp up production capacity and i vill ability of testing. forward i didn't adopt the coupons you need to say you will use to treat. patients the last 2 actions were to develop a clear plan for those who are quarantined and then refocusing government on suppressing the virus well europe still the epicenter of the covert 19 as italy saw an increase once again in its death toll this after 2 similar days of numbers suggesting that the worst may not be over for the country spain also recorded a higher number of deaths with a total

made that announcement just hours after the world health organization declared kovan 19 a pandemic again that travel ban goes into effect midnight friday and all flights from europe will be canceled except for the united kingdom and ireland now homeland security officials did later clarify that the new restrictions would apply only to the most foreign nationals who have been in europe's passport free travel zone at any point for 14 days prior to their arrival in the united states now following the announcement the european union actually lashed out at president trump saying that the illness does not respect borders now again that travel ban goes into effect friday at midnight on airlines are really trying to help and working diligently to get those americans home before that deadline but they are telling passengers as corny as it sounds to pack your patience. and it seems public figures aren't immune to the risks of coronavirus canada's prime minister itself isolated in fact for 14 days that's off to his wife tested positive for cope at 19 following a trip to the u.k. around the wild mor

military for perhaps agreeing kovan $1000.00 to china at the end of last year so we did see at some point really it seems like the u.s. and china had hit rock bottom in terms of the diplomatic relationship so according to the trump administration it was president xi who sought out this form cole and he was calling on trying to help improve ties between the 2 countries president xi jinping also said that many chinese companies were doing what they can to help the u.s. by sending medical supplies at a much needed and also interesting way president xi jinping cold on president trump to help to protect chinese citizens and students who are in the u.s. and potentially facing backlash or ill treatment because of anger over the outbreak because a good train a is china tries to stabilize things inside their borders they are concerned obviously about a secondary wave their focus now on things coming in from the outside so there's still restrictions in place what are they like. that's right so the at the center of the outbreak the source of this pandemic and city restrictions are starting to ease t

would be stretched and that is what we're seeing now with people with other conditions not linked to kovan 1000 finding for example operations being delayed and pushed back as the n.h.s. struggles to deal with these cases and these priorities if you will now we also know that those critics who have pointed the finger at the government also say that there was more than enough time for the government to equip the n.h.s. with and it's workers with everything that they need but the government hit back saying that these types of models that they run are normal and that they are following the procedures and the advice thrown up by them as the public would expect we regularly test our pandemic plans and the learnings from previous exercises have helped allow us to rapidly responds to covert 19 we are delivering a science led action plan to contain delay in research and mitigate the outbreak and have acted swiftly to contain and slow the spread of the virus significantly to save lives and support our n.h.s. . so there are many who say that the government still have questions to answer is or thank
