Coronavirus conversations: Cancer care

We speak to 3 oncologists to hear how cancer treatment has been affected by the pandemic

We continue to bring together people from across the world to share their experiences of how the coronavirus pandemic has affected their lives. Today we speak to three oncologists - doctors who specialise in cancer care - to hear how cancer treatment and patients have been impacted by the pandemic.

Also, more than 300 schoolgirls have been kidnapped by unidentified gunmen from a school in Nigeria's north-western Zamfara state. This is the latest mass abduction targeting schools in northern Nigeria in recent weeks. We'll bring you the latest on the story and speak to two parents in the north who are concerned about their children's safety.

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 Marc Mendelson - Professor of Infectious Diseases at the University of Cape Town in South Africa.
