Episode 5 of 13

Sealladh air toiseach na bliadhna, 2021, an uair a ghairm an riaghaltas glasadh teann eile. A unique portrait of the beginning of the year, 2021, when the government announced another lockdown.

Tha staing a’ choròna-bhìorais air barrachd ùpraid adhbharachadh air feadh an t-saoghail na tha galar sam bith eile ann an còrr air ceud bliadhna. B’ e bhìoras a bh’ ann a thàinig gun chuireadh ’s gun mòran rabhaidh agus a chuir ar saoghal bun os cionn, a’ marbhadh àireamhan mhòr de dhaoine aig an aon àm.

Anns a’ phrògram seo, tha sinn a’ leantainn buidheann de dhaoine bho air feadh na dùthcha a’ toirt sealladh sònraichte tro chunntasan mionaideach agus pearsanta air toiseach na bliadhna, 2021, an uair a ghairm an riaghaltas gum biodh an dùthaich fo ghlasadh teann eile, buille chruaidh an dèidh geamhradh fo bhacaidhean agus riaghailtean.

Dealbh onarach de na h-amannan as fheàrr agus as miosa rè àm a’ ghlasaidh bho measgachadh de dhaoine, nam measg, dotair ùr ann an Cille Bhrìghde an Ear, a bha ag obair le euslaintich air an robh an còrona-bhìoras, teaghlach de chòignear ann an Eilean Leòdhais air an tug an galar fìor bhuaidh agus tidsear bun-sgoil sa bhaile mhòr a bha a’ dèiligeadh ri a cuid obrach riatanach agus a bhith na màthair do nighean bheag fo aois sgoile. Ciamar a tha gach neach air dèiligeadh ri cuingealachadh tron t-suidheachadh do-chreidsinneach leantainneach a bha seo?

The Coronavirus outbreak has caused more chaos and disruption in comparison to any health crisis in over a century. A virus which came uninvited and without much warning disrupted the world order and claimed a terrifying number of lives in the process.

In this programme, we follow a group of individuals from all over the country, bringing a unique insight through detailed personal accounts of the beginning of the year, 2021, when the government announced that the country would go back into lockdown, a devastating blow after a hard winter following similar rules and regulations.

A refreshingly honest depiction of the highs and lows of lockdown from all walks of life, including a newly qualified doctor working on a covid ward in East Kilbride, a family of five living in the Isle of Lewis, whose lives were impacted by the virus and a primary school teacher juggling her job as a key worker and being a mother to a young toddler. How did these individuals cope with the restrictions imposed on them during a continuous and unprecedented situation?
