As many countries continue to battle against the coronavirus pandemic, a 6-year-old boy from Cambodia has recently gained some attention online after his story went viral on social media.

According to reports we’ve seen online, the unnamed child has tested positive of Covid-19 after he was infected by his own mother. In the viral images, we can see the kid being assisted by health workers as he prepared to ride an ambulance.

In the photos, the boy can be seen carrying a backpack and holding a paper bag which contain his belongings. The health workers – who were wearing full PPE – reportedly picked him up from their home and then brought him to the hospital.

The boy, who was wearing a white shirt and a face mask, was noticeably all alone.

A post in a Facebook page described the scene as “heartbreaking” as the boy took the ambulance without any family member or companion to go with him.
