The novel coronavirus outbreak that began in Wuhan, China in January 2020 became a pandemic in a matter of weeks. In April and May, as people stayed home to help contain the spread of the virus, Radio 5 interviewed people of different nationalities living in Japan, Hong Kong, Australia and the United States and heard how they were dealing with the situation.
In “Part 1: The Beginning”, interviewees share their personal accounts and observations on when they first felt the impact of the virus in their lives.
