Raneen Zaher, 28, tested positive for COVID-19 along with her baby boy just a day after giving birth. Both were immediately placed separately in isolation at the hospital to receive treatment. Zaher was only able to see and hold her son, Jad, two weeks after he was born on April 8. Jad – who was born with a congenital heart disorder - received treatment at a separate neonatal unit. “It was one of the hardest experiences a mother could go through. I was alone without my family and could not even see my baby,” the mother told UAE daily The National.
