BBC World Service - World Update, Life in Wuhan, China

A glimpse into the daily lives of those who've been isolated for weeks due to Coronavirus

A glimpse into the daily lives of those who've been isolated for weeks due to Coronavirus.

China has revealed that more than 1700 health workers have been infected with the Coronavirus and six have died. We also have a first-hand account of what it’s like living in quarantine in Wuhan, the epicentre of the virus. Also in the programme: there's been a warning from the United Nations that huge swarms of locusts are on the verge of causing widespread famine in East Africa, and a court in Australia has ordered Google to reveal the identity of someone who left a bad review of a dentist.
