A 16-year-old French schoolgirl with no underlying health problems has become the youngest person in Europe to die of COVID-19, according to reports.

The girl — only being identified as Julie A. — died late Tuesday at Necker children’s hospital in Paris after a “violent” decline from what appeared to be just a “slight cough,” her family told French media.

“It’s unbearable,” the girl’s mother, Sabine, told Agence France-Presse (AFP). “We were meant to have an ordinary life.”

Julie first saw a doctor on Sunday for the cough — with the disease making a “violent” acceleration before her death, her sister, Manon, told Le Parisien newspaper.

Her family insisted in interviews that Julie had no health conditions that made them fear she was at risk.

“From the start, we were told that the virus doesn’t affect young people. We believed it, like everyone else,” her mother told AFP.

Manon also said her sister’s death proved that we “must stop believing that this only affects the elderly.”

“No one is invincible against this mutant virus,” she added.

The teen is the youngest known to have died in Europe from the devastating spread of the novel coronavirus, according to the Evening Standard.

France’s director general of health, Jérôme Salomon, described her death as “tragic” — and insisted to The Local that such severe cases of COVID-19 in the young are “extremely rare.”

French authorities said Thursday that 365 people had been killed by COVID-19 over the previous 24 hours, taking the national total of those who have died in hospitals to 1,696.

The figure does not include those who died from the virus at home or at retirement homes, Salomon told reporters.
