Mum of three, 30, who died with Covid in her home identified
A Sydney mother of three, who became the youngest woman to die after testing positive to Covid-19 in NSW, is being remembered as a beautiful soul.
Ianeta Isaako has been identified by the Daily Telegraph as the latest victim of the virus.
Paramedics were unable to revive the 30-year-old, who was found unresponsive at her home in Emerton, in Western Sydney, on Monday afternoon, just days after testing positive.
Her husband Sako also caught the virus and is fighting for his life in hospital.
NSW Health confirmed the woman was Covid-positive when she died and extended its condolences to her family.
"This tragic death is being investigated by the Western Sydney Local Health District and has been referred to the Coroner," a statement from NSW Health said.
It brings the death toll for NSW's current outbreak to 75.
