Joe Biden outlines plans to contain coronavirus

BBC World Service - Business Matters, Joe Biden outlines plans to contain coronavirus

The US-president elect, Joe Biden, has outlined his plans to contain the coronavirus health emergency. The number of cases has now passed 15 million in the US and over 290,000 Americans have died. 

Also in the programme, what hope is there of turning agriculture green - we look at how the world's biggest fertiliser company is hoping to make the change.

And if you ever worried about the correct way to keep someone at a safe distance in a supermarket during a pandemic, the Scottish Government has a handy guide to help you find the right thing to say

Plus, we look at why China has banned over 100 apps from operating in the country - including Tripadvisor. 

Alison Van Diggelen in California joins us throughout the programme.
