Medical workers in Colombia call for a full lockdown

Coronavirus cases in Colombia soar, medical workers call for total lockdowns to bring infections under control.

A surge in coronavirus infections has forced authorities to impose new restrictions in a number of cities in Colombia.

More than 190,000 cases have been reported across the country.

And in the capital Bogota, rolling lockdowns are hitting the city’s poorest neighbourhoods the worst and hospitals are becoming increasingly overwhelmed.
