Spain to ease lockdown restrictions on children

World Business Report

Available for over a year

Children haven't been allowed to leave their homes for more than a month, but will be able to do so from 27 April. Spain's general lockdown, meanwhile, has been extended until 9 May. We speak to our correspondent Guy Hedgecoe in Madrid. In Taiwan, the government is providing special funding for start ups and entrepreneurs affected by the coronavirus pandemic. We ask Cindy Sui what companies there think of the plan. And we hear from British luxury goods firm Thomas Lyte how its unique fuchsia-coloured gowns have been received by health and care workers looking after coronavirus patients.
