The Corona virus also changed the last rites around the world ~ zee4u newz

The rituals of the last rites are different in every religion; Muslims, Hindus, Christians, Sikhs and other religions, including Buddhists, perform their rituals in different ways.

But the outbreak of the Corona virus has led to dramatic changes in the traditions associated with the last rites worldwide.

The World Health Organization said in a March 24 statement that the bodies of those who died of the new Noval Corona virus disease Cod-19 did not transmit the virus.

However, the WTO advised relatives not to touch the deceased, while the direction of social distance from governments around the world changed a lot in the last rites and burial process.

Pakistan and Turkey

Regular guidelines for the funeral procession and funeral procession of Corona virus victims have been issued in Pakistan. These instructions are very long as you can see at this link.

Under these guidelines, appropriate protective clothing will be used for bathing of the deceased while social distance will be ensured while ensuring the participation of less people during the burial.

How much is being done to ensure social distance in the process of prayer funerals and burial is not yet clear, but a BBC video shows how a funeral and funeral procession of a Cody 19 patient is being held in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

In Turkey

too, the crowded rituals have been changed from a distance to burial, and only those who are involved in the burial process are allowed to have the closest relatives involved.

A funeral prayer will be offered at a safe distance from the imam and the use of a mask is mandatory, there is no permission to approach the coffin and even the last saw.

Ireland and Italy

In Ireland new laws have also been applied, which does not allow ceremonies in churches, even the body is worn with a face mask, while at the burial, many, many feet of distance must be ensured. A video also went viral on social media a few days ago.

They are now being burned instead of buried in different parts of Italy as burial arrangements are not possible because the numbers are so high.

Likewise during the last rituals people are not allowed but virtual arrangements are being made for it.

In many countries the number of people attending the burial is limited; in both Brazil and France, the administration has emphasized that no more than 10 people will be allowed during the burial.

In Brazil, the bereaved have been instructed to stay 6 feet away from the coffin, which is quite different from the traditional rituals that usually take place throughout the day and are attended by hundreds of people.

In Brazil, pictures of Latin America's largest cemetery in Sوo Paulo have also gone viral, with dozens of tombs engraved, but no one is allowed to come during the burial.

Instruction for quick burn in China and Philippines

The funeral procession, funeral, and other related activities of those killed were banned in China in February.

According to these instructions, instead of burial patients, their bodies will be burned to the nearest center, while no one, ie relatives, will be allowed to come to the burning center during the process, however, after being burnt. The remains will be handed over to them and the documents will be completed.

Now the restrictions have been softened considerably, but the rules are currently being implemented in relation to the last rites.

Philippines

In the Philippines, a government order has been issued to ensure that the dead bodies of those killed within 12 hours are burned, however, if the patient is Muslim, the deceased should be kept in a cell bag in a nearby Muslim cemetery. According to Muslim tradition, the funeral will take place in 12 hours.

It is to be noted that there are a large number of Catholic Christians in the Philippines whose burial and funeral processions often last 3 to 7 days.

Iraq and Iran

Iran is badly affected by the virus and has killed over 4,000, the highest in any Asian country, and the burial process has changed drastically.

As burial is practiced in Muslim countries, everything was the same as before in Iran, but now the World Health Organization's guidelines are followed for the burial process, namely security apparel and far-reaching burial.

In Iraq too, gathering of people is no longer allowed, and the process is accomplished with the use of protective clothing in keeping with social distance measures.
