倫敦一名13歲男童周一死於冠狀病毒。
男童是在上周四因呼吸困難住院，周五確診。在使用呼吸器後陷入昏迷。
家屬表示男童並沒有其他基礎健康問題。
Ismail Mohamed Abdulwahab, from Brixton in south London, died in King's
College Hospital early on Monday. He is thought to be the youngest person to
have died with the virus in the UK.
A spokesman for the trust said the boy's death had been referred to the
coroner, but gave no further details.
As of 17:00 BST on Monday, the number of UK deaths was 1,789.
The latest figures saw a daily increase of 381 - the biggest rise so far.
Ismail's family said they were "beyond devastated" by his death, in a
statement released by a family friend.
They said he had no apparent underlying health conditions and tested positive
for Covid-19 on Friday, a day after he was admitted to hospital.
BBC health correspondent Nick Triggle said it was rare for teenagers to
become seriously ill after being infected with coronavirus.
"Just 0.3% of those who show symptoms require hospital care and 0.006% die -
in other words, two out of every 30,000 infections among this age group will
not survive," he said.
"But it does happen, as this distressing case shows."
Ismail's family said he was admitted to the hospital in south London after he
had begun showing symptoms and having difficulties breathing.
"He was put on a ventilator and then put into an induced coma but sadly died
yesterday [Monday] morning," they said.
"To our knowledge he had no underlying health conditions. We are beyond
devastated."
Mark Stephenson, college director at Madinah College, in south-west London,
where Ismail's sister works as a teacher, has set up a fundraiser to raise
money for the funeral costs.
A statement on the page said Ismail died "without any family members close by
due to the highly infectious nature of Covid-19".
