A mum who suffered terrifying mystery rashes for months has finally found out she was one of the first Brits to get Covid-19.
Sarah Churchill had a rapid heartbeat and shortness of breath at the end of February - when just 15 people had tested positive for coronavirus.
But instead of getting a fever or persistent cough, incredibly painful rashes flared up on her hands and feet. At first doctors thought she might have blood cancer or even HIV and were left stumped when medical tests showed no ailments.
Terrified Sarah thought she was going to die and was scared she would leave her nine-year-old son Noah alone. Eventually, more than three months later, the 36-year-old was told she had contracted Covid-19 in late February.
