Coronavirus: Video of Chinese Nurse gives air hug to daughter will leave you teary-eyed

China Xinhua News has shared a heart wrenching video of a Chinese nurse treating coronavirus patients consoling her sobbing daughter with an air hug because direct touch is not allowed.

In a video the little girl tells her from a distance that she misses her. In reply the nurse called Coronavirus a monster and said, “Mum is fighting monsters. I will be back home once the virus is beaten.”

The mother and daughter then open their arms and embrace an air hug from a distance as direct touch is not allowed amid coronavirus outbreak.

After the air hug the inconsolable daughter puts a box of dumplings on the ground for her mother and once she steps back, the mother comes forward to pick it up.

Both mother and daughter wave to bid each other goodbye.

The mother also made promise to her daughter “I will come back to be your company after we win the fight.”
