Dad Shares What's It Like 'When Your 3-Year-Old Kena Covid-19'

2 min read

No parent wants to have their child fall ill, especially when it’s something as serious as Covid-19.

TikTok user Dodovanson experienced this first-hand when he found out his three-year-old son Aziel contracted Covid-19.

According to local media, Dodovanson received a text last Saturday (Nov 20) of a positive case in his son’s preschool. The following day, his son was confirmed as Covid-19 positive.

He took to TikTok and uploaded a three-minute-long video of Aziel’s Covid-19 experience, from getting a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test to organising his quarantine room. The video has amassed more than 261,000 views and 566 comments.

“Bye, I want to hug mummy,” the boy said.

“No, no hugging,” his father replied as he closed the room door.

As Dodovanson has a four-month-old baby in the house, Aziel had to be separated from his sibling throughout the home recovery period.

In a bedroom with his dad, Aziel went through the pile of essentials they’d prepared for their indoor stay. Dodovanson also brought a stack of books for his son to read — though what got his son excited was the abundance of plush toys on the bed.

“Where are we eating your breakfast?” the dad asked. His son pointed towards a table and chair by the window.

Netizens wished Aziel a speedy recovery and also recognised how tough it must be for the 32-year-old to care for his young child in such difficult circumstances.

On Tuesday (Nov 23), Dodovanson took a Covid-19 test and confirmed that he too has contracted Covid-19.

“Results just came out, papa is Covid-19 positive. Same as you,” he said.
