A 21-year-old woman with no pre-existing medical conditions has died from the coronavirus, her family has said, APA reports citing Daily Mail.

Chloe Middleton is thought to be the youngest victim in the UK to have no underlying medical conditions.

Her mother Diane Middleton posted a heartbreaking tribute to her daughter today on social media.

Writing on Facebook Mrs Middleton, who lives in Buckinghamshire said: 'To all the people out there that thinks it's just a virus please think again speaking from a personal experience this so called virus has taken the life of my 21 year old daughter.'

Just days ago it was announced that an 18-year-old man had also died from the virus.

Yesterday NHS England said the victims were 33-years-old to 103-years old and all had underlying health problems.

The teenager from Coventry was thought to have had 'significant underlying health issues'.

Tributes from across the UK poured in for the Chloe this afternoon, who is thought to have attended Wycombe Grange.

'RIP Chloe' is currently trending on Twitter and Facebook users have also come out in support for the family of the young woman.
