It’s been six months since the World Health Organisation (WHO) declared the Covid-19 outbreak to be a public health emergency of international concern. There are now a quarter of a million new confirmed cases every day and the total now stands at more than 16.5 million. We hear from the WHO’s Dr Margaret Harris about how cases are still rising fast in some parts of the world. (Image: Person wearing protective mask, Credit: Reuters.)
