Coronavirus: China's Covid Lockdowns

What's it like studying in China while it pursues a zero Covid strategy?

As China continues to pursue a zero Covid policy by locking down entire cities over a handful of coronavirus cases, we speak to three international students at Chinese universities. How is it having an impact on their studies?

We’ll explain the latest twist in the story of Novak Djokovic in Australia, after the country’s immigration minister cancelled the tennis player’s visa over his Covid vaccination status. The men’s world number one could now be deported and face a three year ban from the country, but his lawyers are appealing. We'll talk through the detail and hear from some tennis fans who have tickets to the Australian Open. We'll also talk about the impact on Novak Djokovic's brand.

We’ll talk through the latest coronavirus stories with one of our regular experts, Dr Rick Malley from Boston Children’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School.
