The son of a tragic Bolton mum who died five days after showing coronavirus symptoms is recovering in hospital, his brother has said.
James Tuppen, 23, was rushed to hospital just one day after his mother’s death due to also contracting Covid-19. Linda Tuppen tragically passed away at her Astley Bridge home on Saturday, March 28 – just days after she first fell ill.
It is thought the 66-year-old caught the virus from her eldest who had recently returned from a holiday in Krakow. James, her youngest son, also started displaying the same symptoms at a similar time.
The much-loved former teacher, who was also the vice chairman of Astley Bridge Neighbourhood Watch, first began complaining of a chest infection on Monday, March 23.
