A 21-year-old woman with no underlying conditions has died after contracting coronavirus, according to her family.
Chloe Middleton, from High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, died last week.
In a Facebook post, her aunt Emily Mistry said Ms Middleton "had passed away from Covid-19" and urged others to "do your bit" to stop the spread of the disease.
According to government figures, most patients who have died with coronavirus had pre-existing medical conditions.
There have been concerns that younger people were ignoring warnings over its spread, believing the contagion was only a danger to the elderly.
But in a series of Facebook posts, Ms Middleton's family urged the public to heed safety advice and take the virus "seriously".
Her mother, Diane Middleton, wrote: "Please think again.
"Speaking from a personal experience, this so-called virus has taken the life of my 21-year-old daughter."
Ms Mistry added: "My beautiful, kind-hearted 21 year old niece has passed away from Covid-19.
"She had no underlying health conditions."

And to add to this from another article:
'So far, the health message has been clear - the older you are, the more at risk you are from coronavirus. But the World Health Organization (WHO) has warned young people not to view themselves as "invincible".
Dr Rosena Allin-Khan, a Labour MP and A&E doctor, told the BBC the illness was "not simply limited to the elderly and those with underlying health conditions".
She was speaking the day after news an 18-year-old with an underlying health condition died of the virus in England. They are thought to be the youngest person with the virus to have died in the UK so far.
Dr Allin-Khan said she had treated previously "fit and well" patients in their 30s and 40s who were now in intensive care and "fighting for their lives".

So what the fuck is going on that a girl in her early 20s with no underlying health conditions is dying and we have 30 year olds with the virus fighting for their life?!
Has this virus mutated or starting to where it's starting to kill the younger people?
Really scary.
