Video Shows Teen Trying To Give Water To Covid+ Father, Stopped By Mother

The man, who worked in Vijaywada, had returned to his village in Srikakulam on Sunday after testing positive. But he was not allowed into the village, much less his own home.

A daughter wept loudly as she fought her own mother to try and give water to her Covid positive father, who had been shunned by their village, in a video from Andhra Pradesh. This is one of the many distressing stories that have emerged in the deadly second wave of the pandemic in the country. The man, 50, who worked in Vijaywada, had returned to his village in Srikakulam after testing positive. But he was not allowed into the village, much less his own home. He was forced to stay in a hut near the fields outside the village. The video, apparently filmed by a villager who watched the tragic scenes without helping, shows the man's 17-year-old daughter sobbing as she tried to take a bottle of water to her father, and is held back by her mother, who was afraid of her catching the infection.
