Bringing back viruses from the dead

BBC World Service - Business Weekly, Bringing back viruses from the dead

Plus can theatres withstand the onslaught of covid?

We hear from the industry that brings viruses back from the dead. The world of biotechnology is rapidly evolving - it recreates the stuff we can’t necessarily touch and feel, like smells and bacteria. Can it help contain future pandemics? Manuela Saragosa explores the risks and opportunities. We also head backstage at the theatre - many shows are having to come up with novel ways to perform productions, but are they able to sustain a business under social distancing rules? Rob Young speaks to the artistic director of the world famous Royal Albert Hall in London’s West End about their plans to ensure shows carry on. Presented by Vishala Sri-Pathma.
