A pregnant teacher in Brazil has died of the novel coronavirus after she was infected with the deadly disease at a surprise baby shower.

Camila Graciano, 31, who had stayed at home and avoided public places to protect herself from the virus, came into contact with a positive patient when her colleagues threw her a surprise baby shower in Anapolis.

According to reports by Brazilian news site Globo, the infected guest was asymptomatic during the visit and unknowingly spread the virus to other attendees.

“Unfortunately, my sister was one of the people who were infected,” the deceased's brother, Daniel Ambrosio, told the outlet, according to news station KRON.

The 31-year-old who was just a month away from delivering her bundle of joy, was rushed to the hospital three days after the party where she gave birth via emergency caesarean section.

She delivered a beautiful baby girl who was healthy but the virus-stricken mum remained hospitalised.

“After the birth, my sister showed significant improvement. The doctors even sent us a message saying, ‘Listen, have faith, because her lungs are improving, the heartbeat is improving (and) her blood pressure is improving," said Ambrosio.

Graciano's health, however, soon worsened and she was pronounced dead on Saturday, August, 22.

As of Thursday morning, September 3, Brazil had confirmed over four million cases of COVID-19 with at least 124,000 deaths.
