Why can families in Italy bury their family and say goodbye to families killed by Coronavirus?

This pandemic kills twice,” said Andrea Cerato, who works at a funeral home in Milan. “First, it isolates you from your most loved ones before you die. And sʹe allows no one to greet them.”

The “families are destroyed and have difficulty accepting this. ”

They have no choice but to trust us”

In Italy, many of the victims of Ovid 19 are dying isolated in the hospital without any family or relatives close to themselves. Visits are prohibited because of risk of contamination, the BBC writes, translates Periscopi.

While health authorities said the virus cannot be transmitted after death, it can survive in clothing for several hours. This means that corpses are buried immediately.

There are many families who ask if they can see the body for the last time. But it's forbidden,” said Massimo Mancastrapa from Cremona.

The dead cannot be buried with their best and favorite clothing. ”

Relatives of those who die of the virus often find themselves in quarantine themselves.

We take all responsibility for them. We send them pictures of the coffin, and then we take the body from the hospital and bury it or burn it. They have no choice but to believe us. ”
