Bhubaneswar: The Odisha government on Monday directed district collectors, SPs, municipal commissioners and health officials to allow for the last rites of COVID-19 suspects without insisting on testing of swab or waiting for the result.
“It is clarified that as we are in the midst of a global pandemic, as a measure of abundant precaution, in all such cases the dead body may be disposed of as per COVID norms, in compassionate consultation with the family of the deceased,” the letter issued by Additional Chief Secretary of Health Department PK Mohapatra said.
On July 25, the government had issued guidelines for disposal of bodies of COVID-19 patients, allowing family members to participate in the funeral.
