London woman dies of suspected Covid-19 after being told she was 'not priority'.

A 36-year-old woman died at her flat in south London of suspected Covid-19 a day after calling 999 and being told to look after herself at home.

Documents seen by the Guardian confirm paramedics were treating her as a suspected Covid-19 case.

Williams said: “I called 999 because my wife was breathless, she was vomiting and she had pains in her stomach.

As I was talking to them she was getting worse and they told me to put her on the floor and to make her body flat.”.

“She told me the hospital won’t take her, she is not a priority.

She did not stay very long and she went outside to write her report and posted it through the door.”. »
