A mother-to-be who was suffering from coronavirus collapsed to the ground in agony before giving birth to a baby boy who died three days later, the child's heartbroken father has revealed. It comes just days after a six-week old baby died of Covid-19, becoming the UK's youngest victim. There is no evidence to suggest pregnant women are more likely to catch to the coronavirus than the general population. However, due to changes to the immune system, it's been speculated pregnant women may be more vulnerable to severe infection. The Government has, therefore, told all pregnant women to be extra stringent in practicing social distancing.
