Coronavirus: Resilience during a year of the pandemic

Available for over a year

One year ago, the World Health Organisation announced that Covid19 was spreading across different countries at such an alarming rate that it needed to be classed as a pandemic. It’s been a challenging year for everyone and host Nuala McGovern shares conversations with people who perhaps don’t always receive public recognition for their work or actions. This includes one of the researchers who helped make the first vaccine to be approved for use around the world and two of the volunteers who took part in successful vaccine trials. We also hear from supermarket workers in South Africa, the US and the UK about the stress keeping shelves full while working with hundreds of customers - some of whom don’t always respect their jobs or safety during a pandemic.
