Coronavirus:  China calls for quarantine

BBC World Service - Weekend, Coronavirus:  China calls for quarantine

China asks people to quarantine; political storm in Europe; the night train from Vienna

The Chinese government asks people to quarantine themselves to halt the spread of the new Coronavirus.

Also in the programme:  We'll explore the political storm that's whipping up concern among many Germans and Europeans.

And we join our Brussels correspondent as he catches the night train from Vienna.

Joining Anna Holligan to discuss these and other issues are Jacqueline Magnay, European Correspondent for 'The Australian', based in London, and Eunice Goes, Portuguese-born professor of Politics at Richmond University here in the UK and former journalist.
