Yorkshirecast - One Year On
A year ago two Chinese nationals tested positive for coronavirus for the first time in the UK after falling ill at a hotel in York. The city came under the national spotlight with medics in hazmat suits dealing with early concerns about the new virus. 12 months on and Gemma, James and Tim reflect on the story that radically changed the way we live. They speak to Samara Jones who was the Student Union president at the University of York at the time. She became a key figure in providing information and support to students at the campus.The BBC's Health and Science Correspondent James Gallagher also joins the team to reflect how his team covered the story.
