Two years after the first cases of a mysterious new virus were reported from China, host Nuala McGovern brings together experts in Switzerland, India and Israel who have been tracking the spread and impact of the Covid-19 pandemic and providing advice to governments and health officials.

What have they learnt about the effects of the pandemic? What happens next and what are the lessons for the future?

Nuala talks to Dr Emma Hodcroft, a molecular epidemiologist at the University of Bern in Switzerland. Emma says that when the pandemic started 鈥渟he had no idea it would linger this long鈥�.

We also hear from Dr Swapneil Parikh in Mumbai, India, who has written a book about Covid-19 and warns that the impacts of the virus go far beyond the effects of the disease itself.

And Professor Manfred Green, an epidemiologist based at the University of Haifa in Israel, suggests we need to already be planning for the next pandemic.

As we look ahead to 2022, the three doctors share their experiences, concerns and hopes for the future.
