In South Korea, coronavirus cases quadrupled over two days, as 144 members of a religious sect tested positive. In Singapore, clusters of infection have been traced to two churches, a hotel business meeting, a health products shop and a construction site.

New Zealanders are embracing plant-based diets with more people than ever choosing to go meat-free - and the signs are that it's no passing fad.
