Woman, 21, with 'no underlying health issues' dies after contracting coronavirus, family say

A 21-year-old woman with no apparent underlying health conditions has died after contracting coronavirus, her family has said - urging the public to "do your bit".

Chloe Middleton, from Buckinghamshire, is thought to have been the youngest Briton killed in the pandemic.

An 18-year-old man who died in hospital in Coventry at the weekend having tested positive for Covid-19 was being treated for "significant underlying health issues".

Ms Middleton's family urged the public to heed safety advice and take "this seriously".

It really is a sliding scale, but at no point was it claimed there was zero risk. At the low end, the claim was, "we know of none in this cohort that's died so far."
