Marienberg / Dresden (dpa / sn) - The state guild of Undertakers Saxony calls for the additional inclusion of the professional group as systemically relevant in the new Corona Protection Ordinance for the Free State.
In an open letter to Prime Minister Michael Kretschmer (CDU) published at the weekend, she expressed “great disconcertment” that “once again” the employees of the crematoriums, cemetery administrations and funeral directors were missing.
They are particularly important in the phase of high infections for the professional care of the deceased, "in order to at least contain further spread," says the paper.
Mothers and fathers also work in the industry, whose children have to be looked after, explained Guild Master Tobias Wenzel. He had made the Ministry of Social Affairs aware of this before the new regulations were adopted. Their job can "not even be quickly taken over by semi-skilled employees". He warned that pictures of the transport of corpses by the Bundeswehr, like in Italy in the spring, or coffins stacked in the crematorium damaged Saxony's image - and asked Kretschmer "urgently" for correction.
