Angela Primachenko from the US city of Vancouver, Washington, gave birth to a baby while in an induced coma during treatment for COVID-19.

According to The Mirror, she started displaying symptoms including fever and tested positive on March 24. She was left fighting for her life and gave birth while on a ventilator.

However, one day she wakes up to find she's given birth while in a coma!

"After all the medication and everything I just woke up and all of a sudden I didn't have my belly any more. It was just extremely mind-blowing."

Mum has been clapped out of the intensive care unit after giving birth.

Angela will not see the baby until her coronavirus test shows a negative result. The girl is still in the intensive care unit, and she does not test positive for coronavirus.
