Coronavirus: The farmers lambing during lockdown

The coronavirus lockdown has brought new challenges for British farmers caring for more than 15 million ewes giving birth this spring.

They have reported increased numbers of people walking in the countryside, less help due to social distancing, and their fears of contracting the virus.
