Coronavirus conversations: Long-term Covid symptoms

We hear from people with ongoing health problems after having coronavirus.

Many Covid-19 survivors in the UK have been getting in touch with the 麻豆社 sharing their ongoing health problems. In May, Michael and Jane Weinhaus from Missouri joined us in conversation with others who had been treated in hospital for Covid-19. We hear from them again, as they tell us how they are getting on with their recovery and the challenges they still face.

And our medical expert today is Dr Eleanor Murray from Boston University. She explains some of the latest developments with the virus. As well as recovery, we discuss the possible risks posed by airborne transmission; and also the latest research around animal to human transmission.

We also focus on the situation in Turkmenistan. It's one of the few countries with no official cases of the coronavirus, although independent media say there has been a surge in acute pneumonia. A team from the World Health Organisation is due to visit there today.
