A mum who gave birth while in a coma as she fought coronavirus could not meet her baby girl until she was five weeks old.
Carrie-Anne Osborne, who was given a caesarean after she was admitted to hospital with Covid, said she is lucky to be alive after finally returning home to her family.
The 32-year-old mum-of-four was self-isolating at home after testing positive for Covid-19 on December 29 and was taken to the University Hospital of North Tees, in Stockton, County Durham in the early hours of January 6 after her condition deteriorated.

Black history month gives us the space to recognize figures from around the world who have made an impact on the global Black community.
The contributions of these figures, and so many others, worked to end oppressive systems, break barriers, and bring to light the challenges faced by Black people everywhere.
They’ve protested, led, marched, fought, broke barriers, and should be celebrated for their sacrifice and the impact they made along the way. The legacy some have left behind has guided the paths of many leaders for generations and some are making their mark on history right now.

Large parts of today s Sahara Desert were green thousands of years ago. Prehistoric engravings of giraffes and crocodiles testify to this, as does a stone-age cave painting in the desert that even shows swimming humans. However, these illustrations only provide a rough picture of the living conditions. Recently, more detailed insights have been gained from sediment cores extracted from the Mediterranean Sea off the coast of Libya. An international research team examined these cores and discovered that the layers of the seafloor tell the story of major environmental changes in North Africa over the past 160,000 years. Cécile Blanchet of the German Research Centre for Geosciences GFZ and her colleagues from Germany, South Korea, the Netherlands and the USA report on this in the journal
