Since the coronavirus outbreak began we've all had questions about the situation here in the UK and what it means for us and our families.
On Tuesday a special episode of Operation Ouch will be on CBBC, with Dr Chris, Dr Xand and Dr Ronx answering some of biggest questions kids have had about the virus.
The episode, called Operation Ouch! Virus Alert, also has lots of fascinating facts about how viruses work as well as top tips for keeping entertained while lockdown continues.
In the programme Dr Chris answers a question from Teddy who asks: "How does this nasty virus stop?"
Dr Chris goes to Imperial College, London, where a team of scientists are working really hard to come up with a vaccine.
He speaks to Professor Robin Shattock, who is breaking all of the normal vaccine-making rules in trying to make a cure for coronavirus.
