A pregnant mum-of-three and her baby died just two days apart after she caught Covid and was transferred to an unsuitable ward to treat her illness, an inquest heard.
Sumera Haq, 37, was eight months’ pregnant with her third child when she contracted coronavirus and started suffering severe stomach pain and worsening shortness of breath.
She was rushed to Whipps Cross Hospital in Leytonstone, east London, and initially treated on a labour ward.
