With an increase in the number of deaths in New York, the burial of the coronavirus patients’ dead bodies has increasingly become very problematic. As per a report in the Daily News, the officials are now planning to freeze the dead bodies.
Instead of burying the dead bodies in Hart Island, they are going to temporarily freeze them in the freezer trucks so that they can prevent the corpses from decomposing. Freezer trucks have the capacity to store the dead bodies for more than a year.
This way, the officials can ensure that the families can go for a proper burial of their deceased family members when normalcy is restored. But, there is another question on the number of morgues, mortuaries and freezer trucks available for the above-said temporary storage.
Let’s see how the things would pan out in the coming days depending on the number of positive patients and the deaths.
