BBC World Service - BBC OS, Coronavirus: Your questions to the WHO

Dr Margaret Harris from the WHO talks about the global response to coronavirus

We put your questions about the coronavirus to Dr Margaret Harris, a spokesperson for the World Health Organisation. The WHO is an agency of the United Nations with responsibility for international public health. In March 2020 it was the WHO that declared the coronavirus outbreak as a global pandemic. If you have a question for Dr Harris send us a voice message on WhatsApp to +447730 751925.

We will also have the latest from Myanmar where the military have reportedly shot dead at least nine pro-democracy protesters and more people are fleeing the biggest city Yangon. We will also hear about a BBC reporter who has disappeared in the country.

Plus - we find out more about Tanzania's newly sworn-in president, Samia Suluhu Hassan.
