A woman who tested positive for coronavirus while pregnant has sadly died during labour.
Medics were able to save a newborn baby after the woman died during childbirth.
The Mirror reports staff at Whittington Hospital, in Archway, north London, were left in tears as they fought to keep the child alive.
It is not known if the woman had underlying health problems and an investigation has been launched into her death.
A source told The Sun: "Amid all the trauma being seen across maxed-out hospital wards by our NHS heroes, this tragedy has totally poleaxed staff.
"There is a huge sense of disbelief at the unfairness of this devastating death.
"Senior hospital workers were in tears. The only consolation is that the baby survived the mum's death."
A Whittington Health NHS Trust spokesperson confirmed the death has been referred to the coroner to determine the cause of death.
