More than a million coronavirus cases worldwide

Newsday

Available for over a year

We hear about the latest research into how long people who get the virus remain infectious to others. We've got a special report from Brazil on how the people living in slums are dealing with the spread of coronavirus and lack of jobs. And a new study of bones found in a cave in South Africa has shown that three different species of ancestors of humans existed at the same time more than two million years ago.
