COVID-19 Side Effects / Episode 6: How I’m coping with my partner in lockdown in Italy

[13 minute listen]

Lisa talks to me about coping with a two year old child and running a business in the UK whilst her partner is in lockdown in Italy. 

As a full-time mum and part-time business owner, Lisa has been significantly effected by the Coronavirus. She recently stopped taking orders for her online startup business, an_arty_aardvark and can no longer attend baby groups – a life-line for a lot of parents.

Lisa also compares how Italy and the UK are tackling the virus and how differently the people in the two countries are coping with the restrictions.

How is her partner Tony, who does not speak Italian, coping? When will the restrictions be lifted? When can Tony come home? Like a lot of people in her position, Lisa has a lot of questions that she’d like answers to.
