Coronavirus conversations: Children and Covid-19

We hear about rare long-term effects of Covid-19 on children

We hear from two mothers whose teenage children have suffered from persistent symptoms, months after testing positive for Covid-19. We’ll also get a specialist in paediatric infectious diseases to explain what is known about children and coronavirus.

The World Health Organisation has released its report on the origins of the Covid pandemic, concluding that the virus probably jumped from animals to humans through another animal. We’ll look at the main findings in the report with our reporters.

And, we'll be answering audience questions about the pandemic with Dr Isaac Bogoch from the University of Toronto.

And we'll talk about a controversial pair of shoes; Nike is suing an art collective after it released new trainers --made out of modified Nike trainers-- that contain a drop of human blood in the soles.
