As the fight continues to get the coronavirus pandemic under control, more and more stories are coming out of the unimaginable physical and mental toll it is taking on the medics who are on the frontline.
And now heartbreaking footage has been shared showing a doctor bursting into tears after having to pull away from his son, for fear of passing on the deadly disease.
Dr Nasser Ali Al Shahrani, from Saudi Arabia, was returning home from a shift at King Salman Hospital in Riyadh, when his little boy ran towards him with his arms open wide.

In the clip, Dr Al Shahrani, still in his scrubs, puts his hands out and says, 'no, no', before crouching down and wiping tears from his eyes.
Speaking to Saudi newspaper Okaz, he said: "The aim of the clip was to make citizens and residents aware of hazards of the coronavirus and to comply with arrangements and instructions of the Health Ministry."
Dr Al Shahrani went on to explain how he and other health care professionals have had to create new routines to stop them from passing on the deadly disease to their family.

He added: "All colleagues should avoid approaching their children and families until they wash their hands and take the necessary precautions."

NHS England confirmed that he was the first frontline worker to die as a result of fighting the global coronavirus pandemic.
The Chief Executive of UHDB, Gavin Boyle, said: "I want to pay tribute to Mr Amged El-Hawrani, who has sadly passed away.
"He was known for his dedication and commitment to his patients. He had also raised funds for the hospitals, including climbing in the Himalayas with a group of friends some years ago. The whole UHDB family are desperately saddened at losing Amged who was such a valued and much loved colleague."
