Alba Maruri, 74, was admitted to an intensive care unit on March 27 suffering from a high fever and difficulty breathing, and medical personnel told her family later that day that she had died, Maruri's sister Aura said by telephone. Maruri was suspected to have contracted Covid-19, the respiratory disease caused by the novel coronavirus, but was never diagnosed with it because she was not tested.
