A mum-to-be has died from coronavirus during labour as doctors fought to save her newborn baby. Medics were left in tears at the Whittington Hospital in North London as they battled to keep the child alive.
It is unknown if the pregnant woman had underlying health conditions and a probe has been launched, reports The Mirror. The woman had been rushed to hospital in March with what was believed to be pneumonia, but was then diagnosed with the killer bug having already gone through labour.
A source told The Sun : "Amid all the trauma being seen across maxed-out hospital wards by our NHS heroes, this tragedy has totally poleaxed staff. "There is a huge sense of disbelief at the unfairness of this devastating death."Senior hospital workers
