Stay Home, Stay safe: Listen to Shortwave during the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic

During the COVID-19 outbreak, only trust official information sources and credible media outlets. Do not share unverified information.
This is a message from UNESCO.

November 15, 2021: This page has been updated with additional details on COVID-19 live statistics.

October 31, 2021: As we enter the B21 (winter 2021: October 31, 2021-March 27, 2022) broadcasting season, we want to remind our listeners that our regular broadcasts on AM/Medium Wave, Shortwave and streaming carry regular news bulletins and feature programs also on the development of the COVID-19 pandemic. Listeners in Europe can now tune to our new frequency of 918 kHz Medium Wave for extended coverage between 19:00-23:00 CET, daily. Please check our updated frequency and program schedules.

August 25, 2020: Latest news updates on Coronavirus are being aired 24/7 on streaming and during our usual schedule on Shortwave to Europe, Africa and Asia / Pacific, as well as on AM/Medium Wave on 594 kHz daily from 7-11 PM local time in Central Europe (19-23 CET).

April 13, 2020 (update): We air COVID-19 PSAs (Public Service Announcements) in English, French, Spanish and Arabic. These messages are produced by UNESCO in Paris and contribute to countering disinformation on COVID-19 and promoting healthy behaviours.

April 12, 2020 (update): It’s Easter Sunday in Milan. We continue our efforts to provide listeners worldwide with global coverage of the COVID-19 pandemic on Shortwave, AM/Medium Wave, and 24/7 live streaming. This evening, Italian opera singer, songwriter, and record producer Andrea Bocelli performed a live Easter concert in the empty Duomo cathedral in Milan to promote a message of love, healing and hope to Italy and the world.

March 26, 2020 (update): While COVID-19 lockdown has now been extended to most countries in Europe and around the world, including Italy and Ireland, where our main offices are located, we are operating all streaming, AM/Medium Wave and Shortwave channels without any interruption. Coronavirus feature programs are being aired regularly, and news bulletins are updated every 30 minutes. In addition, all chat, phone, and support lines are available from operators operating 24/7 on rotation from remote.

March 13, 2020 (update): Italy and our hometown Milan have come to a complete lockdown in an attempt to stop the contagion. However, our live Coronavirus updates continue on Shortwave and 24/7 via streaming. We have now opened this page to listeners comments. Please also email us at reports@nexus.org if you wish to receive our special QSL card. “We will make it!” it’s our slogan and every Italian’s, while our courageous medical personnel fight 24/7 the virus, and we stay safe, at home, to avoid it spreading and killing our loved ones. So why are other countries in Europe so late in locking down?

March 4, 2020: While most of Northern Italy has come (nearly) to a halt due to the recent coronavirus outbreak, we have extended our daily broadcasts to cover Europe, Asia and Africa with daily news and commentaries on COVID-19 in English.
