Coronavirus Coping Tales

BBC World Service - Business Weekly, Coronavirus Coping TalesSearch BBC

We hear from New York chef Gabrielle Hamilton who’s lost her life's work to the pandemic and is worrying about her future and that of her staff. What help are governments giving to small businesses like hers? As New Zealand announces that it has no new cases of Covid-19 we find out how businesses are adapting to a new way of working as the country begins to lift lockdown restrictions. Advertising mogul Sir Martin Sorrell tells us about the effect the pandemic is having on his industry - and we’ll hear from the editor of a newspaper who tells us how he’s coping with a fall in advertising revenue. Plus, as parents struggle with working from home and looking after children, we find out what life is like for single parents at the moment. Presented by Lucy Burton.
