Hospital mix-up leaves sisters unaware coronavirus had killed their beloved mum

mirror.co.uk:

Two sisters were told their mum had died of dementia during lockdown, only to discover days later she had actually caught coronavirus.

Shirley Barrett and Liz Perry said they only learned she had been infected with Covid-19 during a meeting with the registrar to arrange mum Henrietta Blackwood's death certificate.

The Derby pair were "shocked" to learn she had caught the virus, given more than a dozen members of the family - among them some vulnerable people - had been to visit their mum in hospital before she died.

The 84-year-old passed away on May 7 at the Royal Derby Hospital where only days previously she had taken two coronavirus tests which had come back negative.
