The image of a baby taking off his doctor's mask at birth has gone viral: a moment of hope in the midst of a pandemic

Who was going to tell us a few months ago that we were going to wear a mask to work, walk down the street or play sports. But it is our reality today and it seems that it will be for a long time, although we are all wanting to say goodbye, because that will mean that we have defeated the coronavirus.

For this reason, when a gynecologist from Dubai , Dr. Samer Cheaib, shared the image of a newborn taking off his mask on his Instagram account, he immediately went viral , understanding that it was “a symbol of hope” that soon we will be able to put off.

“We all want a sign”

The image speaks for itself: a baby crying as soon as he is born in the delivery room pulls on the mask of the doctor who has brought him into the world. The obstetrician, who usually uploads peculiar photos of his babies on his Instagram account, also did so this time with a very hopeful message.

“We all want a sign that we are going to remove our mask soon.”

 

And it is that at a time when the Covid-19 pandemic has forced many countries to wear the mask inside the delivery rooms, his words have been understood on social networks as a message of hope that soon the coronavirus will be alone a distant nightmare.

“I wish we could. From the moment my little boy didn’t like the mask.”

“An ideal photo, just in time”

Also on Twitter, this user also rated the image symbol of hope by sharing the photo and the obstetrician’s words.

And, of course, the snapshot has also looked like this in Spain.

In Babies and More we want to see in the gesture of this newborn a sign that we will soon overcome Covid. Meanwhile, we will continue to use all sanitary hygiene measures, including the use of masks, safety distance and frequent hand hygiene, to stop infections as soon as possible.
