Coronavirus conversations: Second wave in South Africa

South Africa has officially declared a second wave of Covid-19. The country's health minister pointed to "a large number of parties involving young people drinking alcohol", without taking precautions like social distancing and wearing masks. We hear from a couple of students who attended events to celebrate the end of their exams.

Also, we explain the lawsuits filed against Facebook over competition and what they could mean for the social media company.

And we continue to speak to frontline health workers about their work during the pandemic. Today we’ll hear from a Lebanese nurse in Beirut. He’s been treating Covid patients, contracted the disease himself and is also traumatised by the experience of helping the victims of the explosion in August.
