China: Father visited 9-month-old son isolated from corona virus infection in Wuhan Hospital and burst into tears when he saw his son raise his hand to hold him.

The video was shared by Twitter account MyrahDahSmylah on January 30 with the caption "The father could not touch his baby because he was infected by the virus". In the video, the father places his hands on the glass doors, trying to communicate with his son who is in the isolation room.

The boy raised his hands to his father for a hug, but the father could only turn away helplessly and cry. The boy is the youngest patient to be infected with the new strain of corona virus (nCoV) worldwide.

Video has touched millions of people in the world. "If my son were infected with corona virus, I would hug him and die with him," commented Twitter @ StrongGrande26I.

The incident also raises questions about how to save children from deadly disease. However, many were delighted when China's Ministry of Health yesterday announced that the boy was recovering and about to be discharged from the hospital.
