Students discuss life on campuses during the pandemic

As many university students around the world begin to return to face-to-face teaching, we hear a conversation among students in the US, South Africa, Spain and Sri Lanka about the changes and restrictions on campuses.

We also look at the impact of the coronavirus pandemic in India. New figures show that the country's economy shrank dramatically as the coronavirus pandemic shut down the country. We hear from those who have lost their livelihoods. India is one of the worst-affected countries by the coronavirus, with more than 3.6 million confirmed cases. We speak to a doctor about how Indian hospitals are coping with coronavirus patients.

Our medical expert, Dr Eleanor Murray from Boston University, will help to explain some of the latest developments with the virus. We talk about how safe it is to fly during the pandemic following the reports in the UK that passengers on a flight from Greece have to self-isolate after some on board tested positive.
