Abstract:   (1470 Views)
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic affected all social, economic, and religious strata of life. An epidemic may result in the death of many people, which is more severe in the case of highly contagious diseases such as COVID-19 [1]. Corpse management of the disease victims includes a series of activities, from searching, finding, and organizing corpses to their storage, identification, documenting, and eventual delivery to their families for proper burial based on regional beliefs. Handling dead bodies is one of the most challenging aspects of the primary disaster response phase [2].
