Youth Rising by NCS is made by young people from all over England speaking about youth driven stories and showcasing campaigners doing amazing things in their community. In this seventh episode we look at the story which is turning the world upside-down, the coronavirus. Steph, our reporter, talks to two people who have been socially and economically impacted since news of the virus broke in January. Firstly we hear from Yajing, who talks about the increase in racist abuse both she and her family have experienced in the last few months. Then Joshy, the general manager of La Yuan restaurant in Newcastle, explains how news of the coronavirus has been affecting his restaurant since the start of the new year.
