BBC's Leaders talk about a scenario that is real what if one of their staff members get get with COVID-19 and their effects to the newsroom and to inform the world over state of emergencies all over the world.
Speaking before British Parliament’s Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Committee, Hall said there “could be” a situation where some news and local services suffer if there is a coronavirus outbreak among staff.
The outgoing leader stressed, however, that the BBC is working hard to make sure this does not happen and is gaming out different scenarios to put contingency plans in place.
“We’re also looking at our resilience, if a service was to be hit for a while. We have to make sure our news services keep transmitting on television and on radio,” he told MPs. “We intend on keeping absolutely everything open. We know that globally, nationally and locally, people… turn to us for information.
