The baby of a “highly-valued and loved” nurse has been delivered successfully after she died from Covid-19.
Mary Agyeiwaa Agyapong, 28, had worked for five years at Luton and Dunstable University Hospital, where she died on Sunday.
A spokeswoman for hospital trust said the nurse’s “child was doing very well” but could give no further information.
Ms Agyapong was admitted to hospital on 7 April, having tested positive for Covid-19 two days previously.

“Our thoughts and deepest condolences are with Mary’s family and friends at this sad time,” he said.
