Taiwan's 24-hour cremation policy for confirmed patients suddenly changed, Taichung was caught off guard and temporarily rented a freezer

　　China News Service, June 6. According to a report from Taiwan's United News Network, Taiwan's new crown epidemic is severe. More than 2,800 new crown pneumonia deaths have been accumulated in Taiwan for more than two years, and most of them were cremated within 24 hours.

However, Chen Shizhong, the head of the health and welfare department of the Taiwan authorities, said a few days ago that there was no mandatory cremation within 24 hours, which caught the local area by surprise.

　　Taichung City Councilor Zhang Liao Nailun said that the competent authorities seem to have no mandatory regulations, but the epidemic is panic, and relevant units strictly enforce it. The operation procedures from hospitals, funeral homes to forensic identification all require cremation within 24 hours.

　　Now Chen Shizhong said that there is no need to rush to cremation, Zhang Liao Nailun said that the competent authorities seem to have nothing to do with themselves, and they have pushed the responsibility completely, but they have left the place at a loss. If there is no mandatory cremation within a time limit, how should the deceased be stored?

Can family members decide on their own schedule for the end of life?

Funeral units don't know what to do at all, shouldn't they give a clear specification?

　　Wu Shiwei, director of Taichung Civil Affairs, admitted that two days ago, for the deceased who were diagnosed with new coronary pneumonia, it is true that Taichung City was cremated within 24 hours, but the competent authority suddenly said that it was not compulsory, which caught the local area by surprise.

At present, we can only persuade as much as possible. The crematorium in Taichung City not only needs to deal with the general situation of the deceased diagnosed in Taichung City, but the deceased in Changhua and Nantou will also be sent to Taichung for cremation. At present, we can only persuade them to be cremated as soon as possible. Therefore, when necessary, the civil affairs department will rent a temporary freezer and place it in the Dajia crematorium to deal with it.
