A six-year old schoolgirl and a GP have died after contracting the swine flu virus, taking the toll for the UK to 17.
Chloe Buckley, who contracted the virus while in this country, died on Thursday at St Mary’s Hospital in Paddington, West London.
Simon Tanner, NHS London’s regional director of public health, said that a post-mortem examination would be carried out to determine if she had any underlying health conditions.
“We would like to extend our deepest sympathies to the family at this difficult time as they come to terms with their loss,” Dr Tanner said, adding that it “will probably not be the last that we have in this pandemic”.
