A 13-year-old boy with no apparent underlying health conditions has died after testing positive for coronavirus, his family has said.

Ismail Mohamed Abdulwahab from Brixton, south London, died in hospital in the early hours of Monday.

"Sadly, a 13-year old boy who tested positive for Covid-19 has passed away, and our thoughts and condolences are with the family at this time," King's College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust said in a statement. "The death has been referred to the Coroner and no further comment will be made."

It comes as a further 380 people who tested positive for the coronavirus died, bringing the UK death toll to 1,789, the Department of Health announced.

The Government said today social distancing measures appear to be working but the UK must not get complacent.

Speaking at today’s Downing Street press conference, Michael Gove, Cabinet Office Minister, said: “There are some signs - as a result of people observing social distancing - that we may be able to flatten the spread of infection but now is absolutely not the time for people to imagine that there can be any relaxation or slackening.”
