The video soon became viral and was re-shared multiple times on the social media platform where people appreciated the positive outlook of the patient in these dreadful times.

In a rather tragic update, Dr Langeh on Thursday (May 13) said that patient lost her battle to COVID-19 and has asked people to pray for her family.

“She got the ICU bed but the condition is not stable. Please pray for brave girl. Sometimes I feel so helpless. It's all in the hands of almighty what we plan what we think is not in our hands. A little kid is waiting for her at home. Please pray,” Dr Langoh wrote in her post on May 10.
