Virus shuts down major Chinese city

Available for over a year

Wuhan, a Chinese city of eleven million people, is to temporarily shut public transport as it tries to halt the outbreak of a new strain of virus. We report on the latest and the guidance from the World Health Organisation. Nigerian people could be banned from travelling to the US, which could have serious impacts on the country's trade – especially on the ‘as seen’ garments industry, as industry expert Ofon Udofia from the Institute of Export Operations and Management in Lagos explains. Plus, Japan’s judicial system is questioned after a corporate scandal led to an accused automotive boss in the country to flee. We discuss all this with Nicole Childers - Executive Producer at Marketplace Morning Report on American Public Media – who's in LA and Yoko Ishikura – Professor Emeritus at Hitotsubashi University in Tokyo.
