The story of a 90-year-old mother taking care of her 64-year-old son infected with the novel coronavirus (2019-nCov) has melted the hearts of many netizens on Chinese social media.

Due to the shortage of beds in hospitals, the 90-year-old mother accompanied her ill son in the observation ward for five days in Wuhan Union Hospital in central China's Wuhan City, the epicenter of the coronavirus outbreak, before her son was eventually moved into the isolation ward and received further treatment on February 2, reported Chutian Metropolis Daily.
