BBC World Service - BBC OS, Coronavirus: Conversation with Brazilian doctors

Brazil has the world's third-highest number of confirmed coronavirus cases.

We bring together three Brazilian doctors in different parts of the country to share their experiences of the coronavirus outbreak. There are more than 20,000 reported deaths and over 310,000 reported cases in Brazil with warnings that the outbreak has not yet reached its peak.

Our medical expert today to answer coronavirus questions is Dr Megan Murray, Professor of Global Health and Social Medicine at Harvard University.

We also continue to hear from migrant workers, who are affected by the lockdowns in various cities and forced to return to their home villages.

And we go to Hong Kong to hear reaction from democracy activists after China announced plans to impose a controversial security law for the region.
