Sydney mother-of-four dies with coronavirus one day after being tested

A Sydney mother-of-four is among the 12 latest people to have died with coronavirus in New South Wales.
Jamila Yaghi died in her home in south-west Sydney on Wednesday night, just one day after getting a COVID-19 test.
She was just 38, making her one of the youngest people in Australia to die with the virus.

“Investigations are underway into the source of her infection, she was not vaccinated,” NSW Deputy Chief Health Officer Dr Marianne Gale said today.
Granville MP Julia Finn described the death as “awful” and said about two per cent of people in the area have COVID-19 at the moment.
Ms Yaghi was “deeply engaged in the community”, Ms Finn said in an earlier Facebook post.
“She leaves behind four children and an extended family and many, many friends who loved her dearly.
“Our area remains the area of greatest concern with Merrylands and Guildford named again.
“I’ve repeatedly requested more local health resources so we know as soon as possible who needs a test and the test results.
“I can’t wait for lockdown to end and I don’t want to see us left behind stuck in lockdown or with rolling business closures with continuing exposure to a deadly disease.”
