BBC World Service - BBC OS, Coronavirus conversations: Couples separated by the pandemic

We speak to couples who have been unable to see each other for months due to the pandemic

With lockdowns and restrictions on public life enforced around the world, many couples have been separated and unable to see each other for weeks. We speak to two couples about their experiences and the strain that separation has put on their relationships.

7-year-old Curtis Rogers held a socially distanced prom for his babysitter after hers was cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic. We speak to Curtis's mum.

And we continue to follow the events in Minneapolis in the US, where protests continue after the death of George Floyd, a black man who died in police custody. We speak to the mother of Eric Garner, whose death in 2014 led to protests across the country.
