Patients’ families talk about being unable to visit their loved ones in their final hours because of the risk of contracting the virus. While some who survived and came out the other side of the virus talk about the uncertain future they face and the long road  to recovery that faces them. The powerful documentaries also follow and remember some of those who did not make it through Covid-19.

MONDAY PROGRAMME 1 – (LIFE & DEATH)

RTÉ Investigates: Inside Ireland’s Covid Battle reveals the harsh reality of life and death of Covid-19 for the patients and staff in St James’s Hospital ICU, while families nervously wait by the phone for news of their loved ones.

TUESDAY PROGRAMME 2 – (SURVIVAL & RECOVERY)


RTÉ Investigates: Inside Ireland’s Covid Battle shows how for many patients coming off a ventilator and leaving the ICU is only the first step on the long road to recovery. For some that journey will take days, weeks and even months to complete.
