A father-of-ten has tragically died after a gruelling battle with Covid-19 and pneumonia.

John Talo tested positive to coronavirus in November, but his condition became life-threatening about a month later when his inflamed lungs filled with fluid - which quickly became infected. 

His wife Ellen, daughter, nine sons, two grandchildren, brothers and sisters were forced to pray for a recovery from home due to strict limits on visitors in Melbourne hospitals during the pandemic, as his condition continued to deteriorate.

Early on Sunday morning, health authorities finally allowed his entire family to be by his bedside to say goodbye.
