I'm sure we have all read the recent news of the mass gathering of politicians at our chief of staff burial and thereby disregarding the same social distance law they implemented.

This same thing occured in the US when 6 people died from COVID-19 after attending the coronavirus victim's funeral.

Six people in South Carolina have died from COVID-19 after going to the same funeral.

The group attended the funeral during the first week of March, The Daily Beast reports. This was before the CDC announced its social distancing directives to funeral directors on March 16, which advised funeral homes make live-streaming available for services.

The funeral had taken place in Kershaw County, which encompasses Camden, South Carolina. A married couple—both over the age of 60—was part of the group that passed away. They died days apart from each other.

“They attended that same funeral and unfortunately passed away from COVID [19],” coroner RobbieBaker said of the couple. “They came back to Sumter, got sick, and I was notified they had passed. Unfortunately, a large amount of people congregated at that funeral, somebody there was infected with it, spread it, and just didn’t know it.”

The other four people who died were also over the age of 60—a group that’s at high-risk to contract the virus—and were all black. Coronavirus has hit the elderly and black the hardest in South Carolina and across the U.S.

Many of those who attended the funeral have self-quarantined.

Earlier this week, news surfaced of the first person contracting COVID-19 from an infected dead body. At this point, little is known about how long the virus can live in dead bodies or how it’s passed on once a person dies. Now, not only are healthcare workers at risk of contracting the virus, but medical examiners, morgue technicians, and people who work in funeral homes.

Forward to FP, Hopefully this will lead to those at attendance to be forcefully quarantined.

Na them knowhh

Me i dey house as you see me so, am going no where

They need to arrest all of them

Can we start hastag apologise to Funke Akindele or arrest those at the burial site.

I hate impunity and inequality, everyone deserves to be treated fairly.

They can't practice what they preach. Hypocrites

the news is very timely

in few weeks now they will start tracing people who attended Kyari's burial and their contacts. when wisdom demands that as they come out of the cemetery, they should all be bundled to Yaba

So many stupid people in one place.

This should have been a private ceremony with a maximum of 15 people but what do I know??

Covid-1-9virus will persecute them.
