Coronavirus: One year of a pandemic
The WHO officially declared Covid-19 a pandemic one year ago today
One year since the coronavirus pandemic was declared, we look at how different countries have handled the outbreaks and hear from our correspondents around the world.
We also hear the story of one family in the US. Shaye and Paige are sisters in Oklahoma City and they tell us about losing their mother Judy to Covid-19, whilst their father Russell was in hospital with the illness. Russell also tells us about his recovery and how he found out his wife had passed away.
And Dr Emma Hodcroft in Switzerland will be answering audience questions about the virus.
And as a police officer in the UK is being questioned on suspicion of kidnapping and murdering a woman who went missing in London last week, we hear about safety concerns and personal experiences women have been sharing on social media.
