Coronavirus: How has the world celebrated Lunar New Year?

Celebrations have been happening across the world for the Lunar New Year - also known as Chinese New Year. But how have festivities across East Asia and Asian communities across the world been affected by the coronavirus pandemic? We'll speak to people to hear how this year may be different to usual.

Also, in the East African nation of Tanzania the president and government have repeatedly downplayed the severity of coronavirus. There is little testing and no plans for a vaccination programme in Tanzania, which makes it nearly impossible to gauge the true extent of the virus. We'll speak to two people in Tanzania to hear their thoughts on the coronavirus situation in the country.

And every day we are joined by a health expert to help us understand the latest news about coronavirus and to answer your questions. Today our guest is Dr Megan Murray - Professor of Global Health and Social Medicine at Harvard University.
