On 23rd April, a 29-year-old mother passed away from coronavirus shortly after delivering her newly-born son at Birmingham Heartlands Hospital.
Fozia Hanif had started to develop symptoms last month and tested positive, forcing a premature birth of her boy, Ayaan, on 2nd April as reported by iTv News.
Six days later, Fozia’s family was asked to visit their daughter in the hospital to say their final goodbyes. Even as the newly born son tested negative for the coronavirus, he is kept under observation.
"She was really happy, she got the baby photo they (nurses) printed out for her. She was holding and say ‘look it’s our baby’ and ‘we’re going to come home soon’… that’s the last time I spoke to her.” her husband of nearly seven years, Wajid Ali, told ITV News.
