Coronavirus: Trust Statement

Professor Kiran Patel, Chief Medical Officer for University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Trust said:

“We can confirm that sadly a patient who was being treated for significant underlying health issues has passed away at University Hospital, Coventry. They had also tested for COVID-19 on the day before they died but this was not linked to their reason for dying.

“Our thoughts and condolences remain with the patient’s family and loved ones at this difficult time."

The family affected has expressed their thanks for the support and well wishes from friends and family and respectfully request for privacy at this important time.
