A 21-year-old woman, apparently with no underlying health issues, has died after contracting coronavirus.
Chloe Middleton, from Buckinghamshire, is said to be the youngest person in the UK without underlying health issues to fall victim to Covid-19.
Mother Diane Middleton wrote on Facebook: “To all the people out there who think it’s just a virus please think again. Speaking from a personal experience this so-called virus has taken the life of my 21-year-old daughter.”
