The final module in the long-running Covid-19 inquiry has concluded, marking the end of public hearings that began almost three years ago.

While other sections of the inquiry have focused on specific areas of the pandemic, such as the care sector, economy, vaccines and political decision-making, module 10 had a broader remit, looking at the overall impact on society and the legacy left behind.
