Available for over a year

US President Donald Trump has declared a national emergency to help handle the growing outbreak of coronavirus. We hear from Chris Low at FTN Financial. And in Spain, the BBC's Guy Hedgecoe tells us that authorities in Madrid have ordered the compulsory closure of most shops and bars. As the English Premier League, French football federation and all European Champions League matches were suspended over coronavirus concerns, Keiran Maguire, lecturer in football finance at Liverpool University in the UK considers the likely financial impact for football. We go on a workplace tour with Dr Jo Martin, president of the Royal College of Pathologists in the UK, to hear about sensible precautions workers can take against getting infected with Covid-19. Plus, as China reported just five new cases of the disease on Friday, Emily Feng of the US's National Public Radio tells us whether China is slowly starting to get back to work.
