Patient zero: Coronavirus and contact tracing - a podcast by BBC World Service

Today’s episode is about the history we’re still living. From Melbourne to Munich, Lombardy to Wuhan and all the way back again, this episode is about what happened when we faced those first coronavirus cases. Where things went well, where they didn’t, and where contact tracing was effective — and whether there’s anything we could have done to stop it.

Presented by Olivia Willis of ABC Australia.
