CNN Updates On Coronavirus Response Around The World.
COOPER: Two of the most iconic festivals in Europe are the latest cancellations amid the coronavirus outbreak. Germany has pulled the plug on Octoberfest. Which was expected to draw nearly six million people. And in Spain, there's no running of the bulls. The nine-day festival, which attracted a million visitors, will not happen this July. I want to take a look at what is happening around the globe and check in our CNN reporter, starting with Stephanie Busari in Nigeria.</s>STEPHANIE BUSARI, CNN INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: These scenes show young men looting a truck carrying bags of food in Nigeria's capital. There's very little social distancing and they're concerned only about getting their hands on the food. These are signs of the desperation and hunger that people feel here as the country battles the pandemic. Nigeria's police said it has dispatched extra forces to deal with the trouble and urges citizens for calm. But as hunger bites in the poorest communities, the president ordered 70,000 tons of grain to be released from the country's reserves and hundreds of bags of rice seized by Nigeria customs are also being distributed to the country's poorest.</s>ARWA DAMON, CNN SENIOR INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: I'm Arwa Damon, in Istanbul. Turkey has recorded more than 2,000 COVID-19 deaths. And the country, outside of the U.S. and Europe, have the highest number of confirmed cases. We were inside an ICU in one of the Istanbul's hospitals, and although the staff there are exhausted, they say have the situation under control. They have spare beds, no shortage of live-saving medical equipment. But the doctors we were talking to say they have been warning the government that it needs to implement more severe measures. Right now, the country is under something of a partial lockdown. But Turkey may have to change that. Otherwise, the situation could escalate very quickly.</s>CLARISSA WARD, CNN CHIEF INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: I'm Clarissa Ward, in London, where parliament is back in session. But a new temporary hybrid version. Only 50 lawmakers will actually be allowed into the chamber with another 120 members calling to join via individual link to preserve social distancing. This comes as the U.K. government continues to come under fire for the lack of PPE for health care workers. According to a recent survey by the Doctors Association of U.K., 47 percent of doctors do not have access to long sleeve gowns.</s>BARBIE NADEAU, CNN CONTRIBUTOR: I'm Barbie Nadeau, in Rome. We're tracking an incredible story of a town where the last passenger cruise ship is set to begin disembarking around 1,500 passengers and 900 crew members. This is a pre-pandemic cruise ship. They left the port of Venice on January 5th for 115 day around-the-world-tour. Many port calls were canceled, which kept them safe. There's not a single case of COVID-19 onboard the ship.</s>COOPER: Our special coverage continues now with Brianna Keilar.
