Coronavirus in Mexico: Upsurge in infections

BBC World Service - BBC OS, Coronavirus in Mexico: Upsurge in infections

We hear from people in Mexico coping with the worsening infection rates of Covid-19

Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador has announced he has tested positive for Covid-19. His symptoms are mild.  The development comes as Mexico grapples with an upsurge in infections, with deaths nearing 150,000.  We hear from people living there.

We continue to bring together people with similar experiences during the pandemic.  Today we hear South African, American, Iranian and British people discuss what it has been like trying to start a career after graduating in a time of recession, few opportunities and global unemployment.

And we ask our regular coronavirus expert, Dr Eleanor Murray, about today's pandemic stories and put audience questions to her.
