A 'healthy' five-year-old girl is fighting for her life from Kawasaki disease weeks after recovering from coronavirus, her distraught parents have said.
Scarlett suffered from a mild bout of Covid-19 five weeks ago which she recovered from, but is now in intensive care with a Kawasaki inflammatory response.
Her dad Piers Roberts said Scarlett was given just a 20% chance of survival from the disease, which inflames blood vessels and is believed to be a reaction to coronavirus.
He said Scarlett contracted Covid-19 in school before the lockdown, and described his daughter as "fit and well" six weeks before she suddenly suffered multi-organ failure.
