Covid: Austria introduces lockdown for unvaccinated
We hear reaction to the lockdown from two unvaccinated people living in Austria
Austria is experiencing rapidly rising coronavirus infection rates. It has one of the lowest rates of vaccination in Western Europe with only about 65% of its population is fully vaccinated. In response the government has introduced a nationwide 鈥榣ockdown for the unvaccinated鈥�. The restrictions will affect almost two million citizens aged 12 and older. We hear from two unvaccinated people who live in Austria.
Our regular health expert, Professor Manfred Green, a medical doctor and professor of epidemiology in the school of public health at the University of Haifa in Israel talks us through the daily coronavirus stories.
And we hear the latest developments on the Polish-Belarus border. There's a stand off between several hundred migrants and Polish border guards.
