The UK's youngest victim of the coronavirus outbreak has been confirmed as a 13-year-old schoolboy. Ismail Mohamed Abdulwahab, from Brixton, died without any family members close by due to the highly infectious nature of Covid-19.
The teen, whom it is believed had no underlying health conditions, died at Kings College Hospital on Monday morning after being induced by doctors into a coma.
The Mohamed family said in a statement: "Ismail started showing symptoms and had difficulties breathing and was admitted to Kings College Hospital.
