A teenager, 18, has became the youngest person to die of coronavirus in the UK as the victim is one of 47 new deaths in 24 hours with the toll hitting 281 and total cases leaping by 665 to reach 5,683. Boris Johnson has warned that people not following social distancing guidelines amid the coronavirus outbreak are 'putting other people's lives at risk' as he hinted he could ban all Britons from leaving their homes if they don't keep six feet apart. It came as an 18-year-old, from Coventry, died of Covid-19, marking the UK's youngest fatality as 47 new victims brought Britain's death toll to 281. Professor Kiran Patel, who is chief medical officer at the University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire Hospitals NHS Trust, told The Sun: 'We can confirm that sadly a patient who was being treated for significant underlying health issues has passed away at University Hospital, Coventry.' Professor Patel added: 'Our thoughts and condolences remain with the patient's family and loved ones at this difficult time.' Source
