A Jordanian family was struck by the death of the father and son with COVID-19, as the 37-year-old son died today, Monday, and his father who was in his seventies died on Thursday.

The 37-year-old man did not have any pre-existing health issues but due to COVID-19 he got pneumonia, which led to lung failure and later on kidney failure, a source told Roya.

The patient required breathing support and dialysis in the Intensive Care Unit(ICU) at Prince Hamza Hospital, the source added.

When the man entered Prince Hamza Hospital, he did not show any symptoms of the virus, while his father’s condition was very critical before his death, the source added.

The father was transferred from the quarantine area in the Dead Sea to the hospital a few days before his death due to his poor health condition.
