COVID contagion, family sacrifices and the 'Belgian model'

David Jenkins had been an aircraft assembler at Airbus for nearly a decade but became an economic casualty of the virus pandemic due to the knock-on effects.

His family, like thousands of others across the UK, are enduring difficult times as industries including aviation continue to struggle.

While firms tighten their belts, so too are households - and in the words of David's wife Louise: "It affects every single part of your life".

Louise shares her family's story on the Sky News Daily podcast with Dermot Murnaghan, as our business correspondent Paul Kelso talks about travelling around the UK following the repercussions of the crisis.

Plus, after COVID restrictions were tightened here, we examine the so-called 'Belgian model' with Sky's Europe correspondent Adam Parsons and Brussels correspondent at The Times, Bruno Waterfield.
