Mary Agyeiwaa Agyapong was a nurse at the Luton and Dunstable University Hospital in Luton, England, which is about 35 miles north of London.
Agyapong, 28, tested positive for COVID-19 on April 5, and was hospitalized two days later, according to the NHS. It was not clear if Agyapong was positive for the virus while still going into work, which she had been doing as recently as March 12.
She had not been treating COVID-19 patients. It is unclear where she was exposed to the virus and whether or not Agyapong had any underlying conditions that would put her at a higher risk for the virus.
"It is with great sadness that I can confirm the death of one of our nurses, Mary Agyeiwaa Agyapong, who passed away on Sunday (12th April)," said David Carter, the CEO of the Bedfordshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, said in a statement.
"Mary worked here for five years and was a highly valued and loved member of our team, a fantastic nurse and a great example of what we stand for in this Trust," he continued. "She tested positive for Covid-19 after being tested on 5th of April and was admitted to the hospital on the 7th April. Our thoughts and deepest condolences are with Mary's family and friends at this sad time.
Before she died, Agyapong delivered a baby girl, who was named Mary after her mother.
"Mary was a blessing to everyone she came across and her love, care and sincerity will be irreplaceable. You will forever be in our hearts Mary. Your memories are still with us and we will cherish them forever until we meet again."
