Covid-19: Britain expected to tighten rules

Newsday

Available for over a year

The UK government is expected to announce new restrictions in order to slow the rate of Covid-19 cases, including shutting bars and restaurants early. We speak to a pub owner. A recent trial has found that the lives of men with prostate cancer can be extended using a drug called Olaparib that treats breast and ovarian cancer, as we hear from the lead scientist. And we go to South Africa where 500 pupils have been quarantined after a Covid-19 outbreak at their school.
