BBC World Service - Newshour, US Coronavirus tsar - vaccine a year away

Anthony Fauci, the director of NIAID, tells Newshour a coronavirus vaccine is a year away

Dr Anthony Fauci, the director of the US National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, tells Newshour while a coronavirus vaccine will begin clinical trials within a week, it is at least a year away from being available.

Also on the programme: the English Premier League and the Indian Premier League, two of the most popular sports leagues on the planet, have suspended their seasons as a precaution to mitigate against the spread of the coronavirus; and a stark warning from the global tourism industry about the impact of the virus.
