Opening up again

BBC World Service - World of Wisdom, Opening up again

The personal challenges of 'opening up' again after Covid restrictions are lifted.

Returning to how life was before Covid can be very difficult.  Dr Shefali discusses the challenges of re-entering the public world in places that have started opening up again.

When Covid restrictions are lifted, the effort to return to our former lives can present unexpected personal trials. Shops, restaurants and offices have re- opened in Detroit, USA but Alex is finding it very hard to go back into the outside world and start socialising again. Dr Shefali helps him find a way forward and discusses the challenges of leaving home and re-entering the public world in places that have started opening up again, with presenter Sana Safi.

Produced by Charlie Taylor and Ruth Edwards
