Coronavirus conversations: Quarantine hotels

As a result of the pandemic many countries have brought in a hotel quarantine system, whereby people arriving from abroad have to isolate, in a hotel, for a period of time - that can range from a few days, up to 14 days. We hear a conversation between people who are currently staying in quarantine hotels in Indonesia, Australia and New Zealand.

And China's top disease control official has said the efficacy of the country's Covid vaccines is low. We’ll hear about the vaccination process in China from the BBC Monitoring team and also learn more about the broader procedures in place to combat the spread of the virus in China. With Chile being one of the countries to be using one of the Chinese vaccines, we hear the conversation in the country about its usage.
