Coronavirus: Festive celebrations
Conversations about the impact of coronavirus in the US, Japan and Gaza
The arrival of winter for many countries brings the threat of increased infections as people gather indoors to escape the cold. It鈥檚 also a time for celebrating religious festivals and holidays.
Host Nuala McGovern shares conversations with an American family in Indiana about Thanksgiving, and two young women in Gaza relate their experiences of curfew during the pandemic.
In Japan, officials have already warned of a possible third wave of infections. Three people living there discuss why they think cases are rising, the implications for Japanese New Year and whether the Olympics should still go ahead in 2021.
