Still not working in 2020.06.16.1

This is listed as a supported site and there is a youtube_dl/extractor/viu.py packge.

Is this being worked on? Or does the geo-restricted tag mean you can't work on it easily as you can't access it from where your developers are? I'm in Ghana so not a geo/location issue my end.
