WHO: coronavirus pandemic is far from over in Asia

Newsday

Available for over a year

The World Heath Organisation warns that the coronavirus pandemic is far from over in Asia, we hear from a resident of Wuhan who tells us even if he can go out he won't because he still fears the virus. The World Bank predicts the virus will wipe out economic growth in the region this year. And we look at the situation for many women who face the threat of domestic violence because of lockdown and evidence that these incidents are increasing.
