Lai Mohammed: COVID-19 Corpses’ Can’t Be Claimed For Burial by Islie: 12:41pm On Apr 03, 2020
Lai Mohammed, minister of information and culture, says corpses of persons who tested positive for coronavirus (COVID-19) cannot be claimed for burial.

He said such corpses would be handled by the ministry of health because they are contagious.

He said this while speaking at a News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) forum in Abuja to give an update on the activities of the presidential task force on COVID-19.

According to NAN, the minister commended Nigerians for complying with the federal government’s stay-at-home directive, adding that it would boost the efforts of stakeholders in the fight to curb the spread of coronavirus.

“Coronavirus is very dangerous and contagious; there is no medicine for it yet and it is not just capable of killing, overwhelming healthcare system, it will destroy the economy. In some countries, they are putting dead bodies in big refrigerators, because the morgues have filled up. Nigerians should not forget that these are not the type of corpses that can be claimed for burial because it must be handled by the ministry of health,” he said.

He called for the cooperation of citizens and asked them to “stay safe, obey simple instructions of basic hygiene and social distancing,” adding that “in a few weeks, we will resume our normal life”.

So far, Nigeria has 190 cases of COVID-19. Of that figure, 20 persons have recovered and have been discharged from hospital.

Smh. That is why one must not joke with the virus. My family friend in New York was cremated in the absense of his family. His family couldn't even do a proper funeral for him.

This proactive measure of not releasing COVID-19 patients corpse to families for burial is highly commendable.
Especially in the southern part of the country where we kiss and worship corpse before burial.

If not for the incompetence of your clueless boss, we won't be in this quagmire....
You people are asking us to #stayhome, but you aren't ready with any stimulus package or palliative measures.
I pray this ends fast so that we Nigerians, can go back to our legitimate huzzles, rather than depend on our clueless leaders.

Nonsense....
