. 84 people have died with the disease. 0ur correspondent damian grammaticas is in madrid. spain is second only to italy, i wonder what the atmosphere is like there? that is exactly right and they are very conscious of that here, conscious of the fact they appear to be tracking italyjust perhaps a week or so behind but accelerating fast just as perhaps a week or so behind but accelerating fastjust as happened in italy. so 2000 cases yesterday lea pt to in italy. so 2000 cases yesterday leapt to 3000 today, and the senses that it leapt to 3000 today, and the senses thatitis leapt to 3000 today, and the senses that it is unchecked. today the virus appeared at the heart of government with one minister testing positive. her partner, the deputy prime minister, is in isolation. the entire government has had to be tested today. also the king and queen, the real madrid football team have been exposed and they are in quarantine as well, and there is a sense too that the prime minister, who is conducting things by teleconference today, is sending mixed messages. doctors are concerned

but it seems that it works at least here in madrid this is maybe because madrid is 4 days now the hotspot in spain. all over the country we have 2000 more infections within. 24 hours so people here are taking it seriously there are only a few people in the streets of what i've seen especially some remaining tourists lisa let's go to you now strict lockdown measures in france as well how are people responding in paris. well i've been talking to some people who told me that they understood the measures that they understood that the cases needed contaminated people had gone up but when you walk through the streets here in paris there are not deserted the local food shop for example there are lots of people there who are not keeping and distance and also their pictures of packed farmer's market here in paris it looks like not everybody is taking this seriously well clearly this sort of thing is not easy to enforce marcus in spain our authorities trying to make sure that people follow this lockdown. well people firstly were informed about the possible punishments up to 30000 euros if you are n

new cases are not only in madrid about there are also a lot of cases in other regions of the country now and another reason is that they have been room us for sunday snow that they could come lock down of the entire city of night it and already schools and universities has been closing in much of it so a lot of people in my village have started to leave the country and have started to go home or started to go to to other regions so there's the sia that they are taking the virus with them. now did these new restrictions also affect forests who are still in spain. so there's a lot of uncertainty around the tourists still what we know is that most tourists have left the city and most of us cities and spain on the right and a lot of other tourists have canceled it so there are not so many tourists left in the country those ones that are left from my from my point of view and from what i can see on the streets they are still quite relaxed but of course there's a lot of uncertainty and because a lot of airlines have also started to choke and so they have connections already in the morning
