Coronavirus: Conversation with hospital chaplains

BBC World Service - BBC OS, Coronavirus: Conversation with hospital chaplains

Global coronavirus conversations with people touched by the pandemic

Lindsay is a humanist and Rachel is a rabbi. Both are chaplains at hospitals, where they're providing spiritual and pastoral support to patients with Covid-19 and their families. So what is like providing such support in the middle of a global emergency? We hear their conversation.

As EU transport ministers meet to discuss how they might reopen Europe's tourist trade, we'll hear from people who live and work in communities who depend on holidaymakers. How do they want to see tourism resume again?

Also, we get your questions answered on coronavirus by an expert guest - as we do on every edition. Today we're joined by Dr Maria Sundaram, infectious disease epidemiologist at Emory University, Atlanta, Georgia. Send your questions via WhatsApp: +447730751925. On Twitter: @BBCOS.
