U.S-5-year-old dies after contracting coronavirus

A five-year-old Michigan girl who complained to her parents a month ago of a headache has died after contracting the coronavirus.

After spending two weeks on a ventilator, Skylar Herbert of Detroit died Sunday, Reports the Daily Mail.

She had tested positive for COVID-19 in March and later developed a rare form of meningitis and brain swelling.

Her mother LaVondria said Skylar’s improvement had stopped, and that doctors said she was possibly brain dead.

Skylar, the daughter of Detroit first responders, is believed to be the first child infected with the coronavirus to die in Michigan.

Her parents say they don’t know how Skylar contracted the virus and that she had no other health issues.

Before her, the youngest person to die from COVID-19 was 20, according to Michigan’s Department of Health and Human Services.
