BBC World Service - BBC OS, Coronavirus conversations: Intensive care doctors

We speak to three doctors who have been treating the most serious coronavirus patients

We speak to three doctors who have been treating the most serious coronavirus patients.

It has been one year since the coronavirus outbreak was declared to be a pandemic. We’ve been hearing from frontline healthcare workers from around the world who have been struggling with either catching the virus themselves, losing colleagues or struggling mentally with the strain of their work. Today we'll hear a conversation between three doctors who work in intensive care units, treating some of the most serious coronavirus cases.

Also, King Goodwill Zwelithini of the Zulu nation in South Africa has died. The 72 year old king was the leader of South Africa's largest ethnic group and an influential traditional ruler. We'll hear from Zulu people how they will remember the king.

And we'll continue to answer all your questions about coronavirus with the help of Dr Megan Murray from Harvard University.
