A double-vaccinated mother-of-three has died in hospital, aged just 37, after catching the 'worst case' of coronavirus the hospital had ever seen.
Paula Collins, 37, from Merthyr Tydfil, Wales, had been battling Covid-19 in the Prince Charles Hospital when she was put in an induced coma for 11 days - despite already having both jabs.
The mother-of-three, who also suffered from high blood pressure and type 2 diabetes, was taken to the intensive care unit and tragically died in hospital on November 5, just two weeks after her symptoms started.

Speaking to MailOnline, Neil said: 'She was taken in to hospital on the Tuesday morning by ambulance with a runny nose and cough.
'But she was quickly moved onto intensive care for Covid patients in the Prince Charles Hospital. I couldn't believe it when the doctor called me and said she had the worst case of Covid they'd ever seen since the start of the pandemic.
'It all happened so quickly and losing Paula has been so
