A doctor and a medical student in Tunisia share experiences of the pandemic

We continue to hear from people affected by the pandemic and today go to Tunisia where lockdown restrictions have been eased despite the fact that the country has the highest reported Covid-19-related deaths per capita of any country in Africa. A doctor and a medical student talk about their experiences during the pandemic.

Professor Manfred Green, a medical doctor and professor of epidemiology in the school of public health at the University of Haifa in Israel will give the latest information on the virus and explain a new “hybrid variant” of coronavirus detected in Vietnam.

China has announced that it will allow couples to have up to three children. The previous limit was two children. We speak to our China media analyst about the reaction and hear from people in China who are planning to have children.
