It’s only 800 miles from Wuhan where the Coronavirus pandemic started, but astonishingly South Korea has beaten back the virus and life is largely normal. How has it done it?
Filmed in hospitals, testing centres and laboratories at the heart of South Korea’s struggle against Coronavirus, and with interviews with top South Korean politicians and scientists, this one-hour special takes viewers inside a relentless national effort that at almost every stage seemed faster and better planned than in almost every other country. Top UK experts contrast the South Korean effort with what happened in the UK and highlight what we could learn about how minimize deaths when the UK lockdown ends
"A smartly conceived documentary...showing how how effective current affairs can be without conventional reporting" - The Sunday Times;
"Channel 4’s latest Covid-19 documentary should probably come with its own health warning: watching this may make you furious...clear cogent and informative" - Sunday Telegraph
