Covid-19: Austrália reforça aviso a viajantes na Indonésia
Díli, 02 abr 2020 (Lusa) – O governo australiano reforçou hoje o aviso aos seus cidadãos que estão na Indonésia para que “saiam agora, sem demora” do país, indicando que a transmissão de covid-19 “se espalhou por todo o arquipélago”.
“Se é um turista em Bali (ou na Indonésia em termos mais amplos) saiam agora – sem demora (…). Se é um residente a longo prazo na Indonésia, considere se tem o apoio e acesso necessário aos serviços de saúde que você e a sua família precisam”, refere o aviso.
O Governo australiano explica que “não há planos de evacuação” e que as opções de regresso à Austrália “estão a diminuir rapidamente” depois da suspensão de voos da Quantas, Jetstar e Virgin.
Este alerta surge depois de a Indonésia proibir, a partir de hoje e por tempo indefinido, a entrada ou o trânsito de estrangeiros não residentes.
“A transmissão de covid-19 espalhou-se agora de forma alargada à maior parte das províncias do arquipélago, incluindo Bali”, nota o Governo australiano.
“Há disponibilidade limitada de testes e de infraestruturas de controlo da infeção. O cuidado crítico para australianos, incluindo em Bali, é significativamente menor do que os padrões disponíveis na Austrália e evacuação médica para pacientes de covid-19 não será permitida”, refere ainda.
Camberra nota que há uma “carência critica de ventiladores e cuidados intensivos” e que o Governo australiano “não pode garantir acesso ao hospital ou outros serviços de saúde na Indonésia” porque estes serviços “estão já sob forte pressão na atual crise”.
A Indonésia tem até ao momento 1.677 casos confirmados com 157 mortes e 103 pacientes recuperados.

Prime Minister Scott Morrison has sensationally declared mass gatherings will be restricted across the country with formal guidelines warning all “non-essential” events be banned from Monday.Schools will remain open but the newly formed coronavirus busting taskforce “National Cabinet” will spend the weekend working out the logistics of the nation-wide gathering restrictions on events with more than 500 people.“It has been recommended to us that we moved to a position by Monday where we will be advising against organised nonessential gatherings of persons of 500 people or greater from Monday,” Mr Morrison said.“That of course does not include schools. It does not include university lectures. It does not mean people getting on public transport or going to airports or things of that nature. “Mr Morrison said the “precise advice” would be work-shopped over the weekend.Image: Getty

FEROCIOUS THUNDERSTORM BEAT PERT, AUSTRALIA WITH HURRICANE-FORCE WINDS AND TENNIS BALL-SIZE HAIL TODAY, OVER 18,000 HOMES LEFT WITHOUT POWER, SEVERE DAMAGE TO CARS, HOMES AND PROPERTY
From Prof. RS “Rick” Duarte, Jr. * Feb. 26, 2020
Ferocious thunderstorm with damaging winds up to 126 km/h (78 mph) and hailstones the size of tennis balls — about 6 cm (2 inches) in diameter — lashed Perth, Australia on February 25, 2020, wreaking havoc across the city and causing chaos during peak-hour traffic.
From Prof. RS “Rick” Duarte, Jr. * Feb. 26, 2020
Ferocious thunderstorm with damaging winds up to 126 km/h (78 mph) and hailstones the size of tennis balls — about 6 cm (2 inches) in diameter — lashed Perth, Australia on February 25, 2020, wreaking havoc across the city and causing chaos during peak-hour traffic.
The Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) forecasts another bout of intense storms and more showers for the region in the following days, with severe warnings in place for the city’s southern suburbs.
Powerful winds broke through roofs, sending rain and tree branches inside establishments. Uprooted trees also collapsed on top of cars, but no serious injuries were reported.
Wind gusts up to 126 km/h (78 mph) were recorded at Kalannie and 106 km/h (66 mph) at Latham.
One driver on Harborne Street managed to escape a severe injury when a huge tree fell onto her car, crushing the middle section.
“The guys who jumped out to help, they couldn’t open the front door and I thought ‘oh no’,” said one witness.
Police said the woman was trapped in the vehicle for some time but was eventually rescued and taken to Royal Perth Hospital.
“I was convinced the person wasn’t going to get out of the car. It was only when I saw it on the news or someone told me later that the person had got out that I was so relieved,” the witness added.
Electricity supply was cut off to thousands of residents as the storm also toppled power lines.
Western Power said about 18 000 homes and businesses were affected at the peak of the outages, with the most impacted metro areas being North Beach, Trigg, Karrinyup, Balga, Hamersley, Balcatta, Yokine, Menora, Coolbinia, Nollamara, Tuart Hill, Osborne Park, Stirling, and Inglewood.
Furthermore, the water supply was affected to about 100 residents, according to Victoria Plains Shire president Pauline Bantock.
The area was also pounded by hailstones the size of tennis balls or roughly 6 cm (2 inches), according to ABC Perth.
Bantock added that she had never seen hail like it, adding that it was bigger than a golf ball. “It just came down in a flood and lasted for about 10 minutes all up.”
The hailstorm caused extensive damage particularly to vehicles, leaving windows shattered.
Department of Fire and Emergency Services (DFES) chief superintended Stuart Wade said it was the worst storm to hit Perth since the 2010 March hailstorms.
The main areas affected were East Victoria Park, Menora, Nollamara, Clarkson, Carlisle, and Heathridge.
DFES district officer Allan Gayle said they received more than 700 emergency calls, mostly about fire, people trapped in cars, and gas leaks.
Peak-hour traffic bore the brunt of the storm as train services were disrupted due to signaling problems. Debris also blocked traffic on Great Eastern Highway in Belmont.
Flooding was reported on the Mitchel Freeway northbound near Warwick Road.
The Somerly Primary School in the city’s north was closed Wednesday for repair and cleanups after several classrooms were inundated.
Moreover, the Lathlain Primary School and West Leederville Primary School also needed repairs after winds tore trees down.
A severe thunderstorm warning is in effect for the southern suburbs of Perth on Wednesday, February 26, as the severe weather is expected to affect Mandurah, Henderson, Rockingham, Secret Harbour, Nambeelup, North Dandalup, and Pinjarra.
Meanwhile, BOM forecasts more storms and showers for Thursday and Friday, February 27 and 28, before conditions ease on the weekend and the following week.
The bureau predicted a 60% chance of showers and thunderstorms with easterly winds of up to 35 km/h (22 mph). Perth Coastal Plain and Perth Hills are under high fire danger.
It will be mostly sunny beginning Saturday, February 29, but there is still a chance of a thunderstorm particularly in the northeast area early morning.
