BBC World Service - BBC OS, Coronavirus: Dominican Republic

We speak to a doctor in the Dominican Republic about the pandemic

Around the world people are calling for rich countries to help the developing world get more Covid vaccines. We go to the Dominican Republic, the country worst-hit by the pandemic in the Caribbean. Dr Amado Alejandro Baez, who works in emergency medicine and critical care, tells us about the situation there.

We also discuss vaccine diplomacy and other coronavirus stories with Dr Megan Murray from Harvard Medical School.

And we explain what’s behind the latest violence in Somalia where international flights at the capital’s airport have been suspended following heavy gunfire.
