Dresden (dpa / sn) - In view of the heavy load on its crematorium in the corona pandemic, Dresden creates more space for the storage of the dead.
“The possibilities in cold stores and cool rooms are almost exhausted.
Therefore we now have to expand the capacities again, ”said the mayor responsible Eva Jähnigen on Wednesday.
As in other Saxon cities, you have to use a building outside the city cemeteries.
In Dresden, this concerns a newly built hall that was previously used to store mobile protective elements for flood protection.
This material is to be stored elsewhere in the meantime.
The health department initially allows use for a limited time until mid-February because the operation requires cool weather, explained Jähnigen. "At the same time, we are working on a coolable location in case the situation does not relax by spring."
