Some people claim that the virus could spread from these bodies. Even then the burial is done in accordance with the rules to prevent the spread of infectious diseases.

The World Health Organization does not mention any possible risks in burying the body of a person infected with coronavirus. Experts do not see any risk in burying such patients according to religious rules.

The company also manages the packaging and transportation of the corpses, starting from the baths under their own management.

In this case, he has given more importance to the highest precaution during the entire period before the death of the patient and burial of his body.

Trained personnel should bathe the corpse. The corpse will then be wrapped in a shroud and specially packaged so that no virus inside can be transmitted outside. No one will be allowed to open the bag carrying the corpse.


The body should then be taken in a sealed box or coffin and buried as soon as possible.

The body must be transported with special care.

He noted that everyone involved in the process must wear protective clothing, PPE.

Usually there is no chance of virus transmission from the body after burial.

He said the virus would not be transmitted even if there was soil or a pond near the grave.

He insisted on disinfecting the room where the dead man was, the place where he was bathed, the vehicle in which he was taken, or the place where the body was kept before burial.

"We try to bury quickly. People may be aware of how the body is being transported, how the burial is being managed. But there is no rationale to prevent a person from being buried," he said.

"Once buried, there is no scientific risk. Whatever the risk is, it is before burial."

He said that the body should not be crowded during the funeral procession and at least three feet distance should be maintained during the janaza prayers.
