How is coronavirus impacting travel?

On today's episode The Independent's editor Christian Broughton speaks to Simon Calder about how the Covid-19 pandemic is affecting travel.


What do stranded tourists do? How will the airline industry bounce back after this shutdown? And when do we get to go on holiday again?


The pair are also joined by correspondent Colin Drury. He spoke to a British couple stranded in Bolivia this week about how they came to be there and what it's like to feel ignored and alone.
