BBC World Service - Newshour, Fauci warns Senate against hasty reopening

Leading US infectious disease expert, Anthony Fauci, warns against reopening too soon

Anthony Fauci, the director of the US National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, in testimony to the Senate has warned of 'serious consequences' if the United States exits lockdown too early.

Also in the programme: The Israeli government gives its internal security agency, the Shin Bet, a huge expansion of its surveillance power in order to trace those who have come into proximity with people who have the coronavirus; and the artistic director of Hong Kong opera and world-renowned tenor, Warren Mok, who has been diagnosed with Covid-19 twice, and spent weeks in quarantine.
