The Jab from The Economist

The Jab: Can Asia’s covid havens re-open?


Listen Later

A “zero-covid” strategy has kept cases to a minimum in a handful of Asia-Pacific countries. How can they use vaccines to end their isolation?


Professor Gabriel Leung of the University of Hong Kong says “zero-covid” countries have become victims of their own success, Charlie McCann explains South-East Asia’s worrying new wave, and Nell Whitehead reports from Australia.


Alok Jha and Natasha Loder are joined by Edward Carr, The Economist’s deputy editor.
