Our reporter Melanie Abbott has the lastest on the thousands of British travellers abroad who are still trying to find a way home since the coronavirus outbreak. She speaks to people stuck on the other side of the world in South America, Australia and New Zealand.

We report on how some families have decided to move their relatives out of care homes due to the coronavirus. Many care homes are now operating restricted visitor policies which has led some people to make difficult decisions about their loved ones' care. We hear why one family decided to bring their relative home. We also talk to Martin Green, chief executive of Care England and Helen Walker, chief executive of Carers UK.

We look at why some people, including our own listeners, are turning to poetry for solace as a way of coping with life in lockdown. We speak to poet and 麻豆官网首页入口 presenter, Ian McMillan, about a poem he's written to capture the national mood and why he thinks poetry can help people at the moment.
