Talking to children about Coronavirus is not always easy. But Dr Ranj Singh has built a career on communicating with the very young about illness, medecine and hospitals in his BBC TV show Get Well Soon.
So for this episode of World Vs Virus. we asked him to join a Zoom call to take questions from three children, Asal, 6, Ella, 9, and Luke 11.
"Gauge how much your child knows about it already and what their particular worries might be," he tells WVV.
"You might be quite surprised. They may not be worried at all, or they may be worried about something completely different to what you were expecting, wondering why they can't see their friends rather than what the virus is itself."
World Vs Virus is available on Spotify and Apple Podcasts where it features on its Essential Listening collection.
