Coronavirus: how can medical staff be protected?

Newsday

Available for over a year

We go to Italy where 66 doctors have already died - and critics say there isn't enough protective equipment. If rich countries are struggling, what is the situation in the developing world? We'll also speak to a doctor in Lagos, Nigeria. And we hear about the part mass surveillance and data collection can play in countering the spread of Coronavirus... but at what cost?
