New York Politician, Eric Adams, has called for the government and health workers to ensure the bodies of dead victims of Coronavirus are handled properly with decency and dignity as the Coronavirus death toll hit 54,000 in the US on Sunday.
According to Adams who is the president of Brooklyn Borough, there needs to be a better way of handling the bodies of Coronavirus victims that are piling up in temporary morgues across the city and new rules should be created to ensure that bodies are properly identified, stored and separated from one another.
Adams also revealed that funeral homes were overcrowded, and called for cemeteries to increase the number of burials to prevent corpses from being stored too long at funeral homes.
You have arms and legs and heads falling out,” Adams said. “It’s a mess.”Adams told the NY Daily News
“They are not just pieces of flesh.”
