The Accra Metropolitan Assembly has embarked on a ‘mass’ burial exercise for some persons who died of Covid-19.
The exercise was carried out at the Awudome Cemetery under the supervision of The Coordinator in charge of burials and an environmental analyst Mr. Joseph K. Asintangah.
Before the burial, families of the deceased persons organized short prayer service of their departed souls.
In all, five bodies were buried at the cemetery under strict covid-19 protocols.
In an interview, Mr. Asintangah admonished Ghanaians to adhere strictly to the Covid-19 safety protocols.
According to him, the third wave was real and the number of persons being infected are huge.
He said Ghanaians must not take the covid-19 for granted because the virus was real and have not respect for anyone.
He justified reasons why the bodies were not handed over to the famlies.
He added that the bodies were buried by the AMA as part measures to contain the spread of the virus.
Some bereaved families were not happy about the procedure but the AMA insisted they had no other option than for them to bury the bodies themselves.
The bodies were buried in separate graves, an exercise the AMA described as a befitting burial.
