A permanent representative to the United Nations, Mohamad Safa, has disclosed that a six-year-old girl died of COVID-19 seven days after resuming school.

On Saturday, September 19, Safa took to his Twitter page with the handle @mhdksafa to make the disclosure.

The diplomat, however, did not state where the unfortunate incident happened.

According to Safa, the little girl contracted the virus when she resumed school and later died from the disease.

He tweeted:

''Heartbreaking. 6 year daughter started school last week. Got Covid-19 in school and just passed away. Killed her in 7 days."In an earlier tweet, Safa said it is better for kids to miss a year of school than losing a future.
