Cemeteries crisis in Brazil and hospitals resort to renting refrigerators for Corona deaths

Press reports said that Brazil is currently suffering from a significant shortage of cemeteries to accommodate corona deaths, after it recorded a record number of deaths due to the virus for the second consecutive day, amounting to 1910 deaths within 24 hours.

The Mexican newspaper "Bangordia" said that there are hospitals in Brazil that rent additional cold containers to store the corpses of Corona virus deaths, due to the lack of places in the morgue and the delay in transporting the bodies by funeral homes.

The newspaper indicated that it is added that there are dozens of graves open at the same time due to the recent deaths from the virus, in at least 5 cemeteries in the state, and the Brazilian state of Porto Alegre is considering building 5 thousand 639 pits to bury the dead of Corona.

Eduardo Campos da Pessoa Idosa Hospital, in the city of Recife, has resorted to using refrigerated containers, and has also increased the number of beds to 40 additional intensive care beds due to the increase in Corona cases.
