Life under lockdown

BBC World Service - Business Daily, Life under lockdown

Some of the world’s poorest areas are suffering under tough measures to combat Covid-19

What is life like under lockdown in some of the world’s poorest cities? We hear from Nairobi and Manila, two cities facing tough measures to combat Covid-19. But is the cure worse than the disease? We’ll also hear from Mohammed El-Erian, chief economic adviser at Allianz, who is concerned about the impact on the streets if the whole economy freezes up.
