Coronavirus: what鈥檚 really happening?
What it鈥檚 like to live in a city under lockdown.
A brand-new virus which causes severe lung disease has been detected in China. More than 100 people are known to have died there, and experts believe the death toll will rise. Coronavirus appeared in the city of Wuhan in December and the 11 million-strong population are being advised to stay indoors at all times. A new virus arriving on the scene is always a worry and health officials around the world are on high alert.
In this episode we speak to Xinyan Yu, a journalist from Wuhan. She tells us how people in the city are coping, including her best friend鈥檚 mum who was taken ill after visiting the market. We also hear from Dr Josie Golding from the Wellcome Trust, one of the world鈥檚 major health research charities. Dr Golding tells us how viruses like the coronavirus spread and how we can prepare for them.
