The eight-year-old’s post-mortem revealed fluid around the heart, abdomen and lungs. She was admitted to hospital on Tuesday with nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain and, after she tested positive for Covid-19 she was transferred to the pandemic hospital where she was intubated. Despite all efforts, she passed away on Wednesday afternoon.
