Bengaluru, Aug 7: Amid the rising number of COVID-19 cases in Karnataka, the state's health department issued fresh guidelines for the disposal of bodies of COVID patients.
"Although an increased risk of COVID infection from a dead body to health workers or family members who follow standard precautions while handling the body is unlikely, the lack of scientific data requires the utmost care to avoid the inadvertent spread of COVID-19 during these times," the statement from the health department's press release read, emphasising on the dignity of the dead and the religious and cultural tradition.
The 23-page press release elaborated on guidelines regarding testing, handling of dead bodies and other specificities in relation to the management of COVID-19 bodies.
"Testing should not be insisted in every case of death, but only when they have a recorded history of influenza-like symptoms. The body should be handed over to the family members/ relatives in a dignified manner immediately after swab collection and hospitals should provide handouts with a list of dos and don'ts in English and Kannada laying down relevant information," the statement said.
It added, "At the mortuary, health care workers, mortuary staff and the family of the deceased body shall not come in direct contact with the dead body and must wear full personal protective equipment (PPE). If the family or relative are for any reason unable to cremate or bury the body, the local health authority shall arrange for the dignified last rites as per the religious traditions of the family."
Regarding autopsies (post mortem) on COVID-19 bodies, the state department said that they should be avoided, except in necessary circumstances.
The statement also gave detailed guidelines regarding the appropriate recording of COVID-19 deaths in line with the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) guidelines.
Additionally, the health department made a statement about the admission procedure for COVID positive patients referred by other district administrations saying, "It is now mandatory for all the referrals from the BBMP admission and discharge of COVID positive patients to be done through the online COVID Hospital Bed Management System (CHBMS)."
The state's count of coronavirus cases was 1,51,449 in the past 24 hours.
So far, a total of 2,804 people have died due to COVID-19 in the state, while the average recovery rate in Karnataka is 49.3 per cent.

99% Muslims over all do all haram business.... Monarch is prohibited.. still saudi has monarchism ..... Idol worship is haram... u will find highest darga in India...... Interest is haram... 90% of bank borrowers and lenders are muslims..... highest default and interest payers in bank are muslims ... are Muslims..... ... my dear brothers before saying haram and halal.. first lets be perfect and then talk about haram and halal.....
#ummar,
Idol worshiping is forbidden in Islam, to support it or fecilitate it by any of the way is forbidden or it is like supporting idolatery,,,
Regarding your examples, prayer by Khalifa Umer or any muslim , at any place of clean is allowed , if there is no any idolatery supported images or any articles....and same way in islam , it is forbidden to harm any non muslim worshiping places...as mentioned by your second example...
This is surely Interest money, Bank Interest is Haram in Islam, Many Muslims have disputed land in their posses. these land either they have to give on charity or live for the Govt. So better to give to Ram Temple since Ram temple is very less in our country comparing to Snake temple and Monkey temple...Useless Muslims who did this all of them reserved places in hell surely Almighty Allah will punish them severely Insha Allah...!!!
NA TASYA PRATIMA ASTI... For Sure it means there is no image of GOD.
Ram is a HUMAN and Human has a picture. And U go against the VEDAS.
I think this guy want to deviate the locals & himself far from the TRUE GOD, who says God forgives every SIN except associating PARTNERs with him.
May ALLAH protect us from associating PARTNER with him knowingly & unknowingly.
