A teenage girl has been taken into foster care after the coronavirus (https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/coronavirus/index.html) killed her NHS (https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/nhs/index.html)nurse mother and left her father, who is also a health worker, fighting for his life.
Devastated Carmina Medel, 14, lost her mother Leilani, 41, on Good Friday.
She died at the Princess of Wales (https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/diana/index.html) Hospital, Bridgend, South Wales, where she worked.
Carmina's father Johnny, 39, who is a medical technician, is being treated for coronavirus in the hospital's intensive care unit, where his condition is described as 'critical.'



Social services were forced to find a temporary home for the youngster after being unable to place her with an aunt who was already in self-isolation with coronavirus symptoms.
A local authority source told MailOnline that Carmina was 'doing as well as can be expected'.
