BBC World Service - BBC OS, Coronavirus conversations: Live from Delhi

We're presenting the programme from India as official Covid deaths pass 200,000

We're looking at every aspect of India's Covid-19 crisis, with Divya Arya presenting from Delhi and Nuala McGovern from London. After the official number of dead from Covid-19 went beyond 200,000, we'll put the figures into context and examine how accurate they really are. Our regular coronavirus expert, Dr Swapneil Parikh, will answer your questions on the reasons behind the surge in cases and how it could have an impact on the rest of the world.

We’ll hear the conversations of Indian families, including those which extend into the diaspora around the world. We’ll listen in to a doctor in Mumbai speak to his cousin in another city previously hard hit by Covid-19: New York.

BBC journalists in India are covering this story while also dealing with the impact on their own relatives and friends. We’ll bring together three of them to talk about their own experiences.
