The Covid-19 pandemic changed a lot of things. It changed how we felt about being out in public, how we communicated online. But it also had an impact on things like how we care for those we love.

Murdoch Children's Group Leader, Neonatal Research Professor David Tingay reveals the surprising insights into the measures applied in most countries - and what we can learn from this experience should we face different pandemics in the future.
