Twin's warning after sister's Covid-19 death
A woman who died from coronavirus had been putting up with what she thought was tonsillitis, her sister has said.
Caroline Saunby, 48, from New Marske on Teesside, became unwell on Friday. She improved slightly but then collapsed on Sunday.Her identical twin, Sarah Jarvis, said her sister thought her sore throat was"nothing major at all".After two days ignoring her suspected tonsillitis, Mrs Saunby developed a"raging fever", sickness and diarrhoea but her husband, Victor, was advised that, unless she had extreme breathing difficulties, she should stay at home.
He called an ambulance when she collapsed, which arrived within minutes, followed by another, then a paramedic car and the air ambulance.Ms Jarvis said the extended family - who all live within five minutes of each other - were distraught because they could not go near Mrs Saunby at the time and cannot go near each other now.
"We can't console the boys. Vic's had to deep clean his own house to try and make it as safe as possible because no-one's allowed in," she said."They've all been exposed so we're just waiting to see - and we can't get tested to see whether they're going to get ill," Ms Jarvis said.
