Pandemic coronavirus was a heavy blow for everyone, but primarily for medical staff working on the front lines and forced to live in a constant state of stress.

On account of the man, still dressed in scrubs, throwing his hands in the air and hastily repeats several times «no», forcing the boy to stop. Then he gets down on his haunches and begins to wipe off the face of tears.
In the words of the doctor, since who gave an interview to the Saudi newspaper Okaz, the record was published with the sole purpose of «show [viewers] the risk of the coronavirus» and be reminded of how important it is to comply with all security measures.
In turn, some social media users criticized the man who returned home in uniform and touching the face with dirty hands, as well as the author of the video that «was removed and instead follow the child.» Some have even suggested that the recording might be fake.
To date, Saudi Arabia has recorded 1,299 cases of coronavirus. This was the highest figure among the countries of the Persian Gulf.
