BBC World Service - BBC OS, Coronavirus Conversations: Back to school

We speak to teenagers, who are going back to school after lockdown

We speak to teenagers, who are going back to school after lockdown.

As countries are gradually reopening schools, we speak to teenagers in Iceland and Germany about what it has been like to return to classrooms. We find out whether they are worried and whether the schools have enforced social distancing and other precautionary measures against the spread of the coronavirus.

We also go to Brazil and Russia – both countries are reporting surges in Covid-19 cases and have been hit hard by the outbreak. We find out how they are coping with increasing numbers and what restrictions are in place. 

Megan Murray, Professor of Global Health and Social Medicine from Harvard University, will be on the programme to answer your coronavirus questions. Send yours via WhatsApp: +447730751925 or Twitter: @BBCOS.
