Restrictions and lockdowns return to the continent, as a further wave of Covid bears down

Restrictions and lockdowns return to Europe, as a further wave of Covid bears down on the continent.

On Business Weekly, we look at the new wave of Covid-19 that’s hitting several European countries. We hear how the different take-up rates of vaccinations and booster shots are making things difficult for governments and how some are now resorting to lockdowns just for the unvaccinated. We also hear about the growing incidences of mobile phone spyware and how unwitting victims are having their every movement tracked by modern day stalkers. Plus we look at period poverty and sanitary sustainability, as the market for menstruation products widens. Business Weekly is presented by Sasha Twining and produced by Matthew Davies.
