Coronavirus: People returning to work, young carers and Mercy Corps

BBC Asian Network - BBC Asian Network's Big Debate, Coronavirus: People returning to work, young carers and Mercy Corps

Qasa asks, how do you feel about people being encouraged to go back to work?

First Qasa Alom gets a round-up of the latest coronavirus news from our reporter Dil Neiyyar. Then we’ll be talking about young carers who look after their parents, brothers or sisters at home. With no school and more time at home, our reporter Pria Rai has been looking into what’s been like for them during the pandemic. Then Dr Farah Naureen, Pakistan’s Country Director at the charity Mercy Corps, tells us about the work they have been doing in over 40 countries impacted by coronavirus. Plus Qasa wants to know, how do you feel about people being encouraged to go back to work? The government’s new plans to ease lockdown aims to get the economy moving again and that means people should return to work if it’s safe to do so. And this week’s guru is car expert, Mike Rutherford, who will answer all your motoring questions.
