Covid-19 in Asia

We look at the increasing number of Covid cases in South Korea, Vietnam and China

This week we've been looking at the countries across Asia that are seeing rising numbers of Covid-19 infections and fresh outbreaks. We'll speak to our correspondents about the situations in China, South Korea and Vietnam.

President Biden has called on Congress to extend the federal moratorium that protects renters and aims to prevent the spread of Covid-19. Millions of people are facing eviction when the moratorium ends this week, and we’ll hear from some of them.

In July and August we're speaking to journalists from countries we've not covered yet when it comes to Covid-19. Today we're going to Norway. This week the country postponed - for a second time - an end to lockdown due to the continued spread of the Delta variant.
