Coronavirus conversations: Ski resorts
What has been the impact of the pandemic on the ski industry?
It’s the time when ski resorts around Europe would normally be gearing up for the start of the season but there’s uncertainty over when the mountains might open for skiing this winter. We bring together ski instructors from Switzerland and France who face an anxious wait to find out about coronavirus restrictions.
We also hear from a Mexican nurse who is treating Covid-19 patients and herself contracted the disease in April. She talks about the emotional toll of the pandemic on her and her colleagues, and remembers the many friends she’s lost to Covid.
And we look at the continued violence in Afghanistan. We connect with a student who was in class at the time of the attack on Kabul University earlier this month.
