Coronavirus conversations: Ghanaian doctors

We focus on the growing impact of the coronavirus pandemic in parts of Africa. We hear from doctors in Ghana, as well as Nigeria.

Melbourne in Australia is one city currently on high alert due to a record number of daily increases in new infections: Five million people have been ordered back into lockdown. We’ll hear about how its residents are coping.

We are watching for the test results of President Bolsonaro in Brazil. He’s had a test for the coronavirus after developing a high temperature.

Dr Isaac Bogoch from Toronto University will help us with discussions around the cost of a vaccine, the short supply of Covid-19 drugs in India, and the latest scientific advice around wearing face coverings.
