South Korea has once again faced the peak of the epidemic. The number of deaths has soared in the near future. The cremation and funeral home in the capital circle are not available, and it is even difficult to cremate and hold a funeral in time.
The South Korean Central Epidemic Prevention Countermeasure Headquarters reported yesterday that within the past 24 hours, there were 360,338 new cases in a single day, 293 new cases of death, 1196 new severe cases, and three data written the epidemic situation.New high since the outbreak.The deceased includes two children under nine years old, and the number of deaths on a single day is 200 to 300 consecutive days.
The funeral of Koreans is usually held three days after the death of the deceased, commonly known as "three -day burial".However, the recent increase in the number of deaths caused by the epidemic and insufficient thermal burial facilities. The remains have to queue up and wait for cremation.
It is understood that from March 1st to 9th, South Korea ’s average average cremated body of the daily cremation is more than 1,000, an average increase of about three times from March in the past three years.
Mr. Sun, who worked at the funeral home in Seoul, revealed that the number of deaths recently is too large. The survivors can only go home after the funeral first, and wait for the crematorium to come back to deal with the funeral.If the survivor insists on holding a three -day burial, you can go to the crematorium in Jiangyuan Road.However, the cost of Yunling will pay at least 1 million won (about S $ 1100) or more.
A person with a funeral museum said: "Because the cremation yard is insufficient, many people have five or six days of burial, and sometimes people with a funeral of more than seven days."The backlog of remains in the Capital Circle has a backlog of body, and the funeral home must also wait to wait.A survivor said: "If the crematorium is not arranged, the funeral home is unwilling to give the survivor funeral." He pointed out that because the crematorium has no vacancy, his mother's body can only be placed in the ice store.
The South Korean government has demanded the number of thermalization of cremation in the country.The inconvenience caused by the delay of cremation will last for a while.
Since the outbreak of the epidemic, there have been more than 10,000 crown deaths since the outbreak, of which more than 5,000 have died in the past three months.Experts are worried that if this trend goes on, South Korea's daily deaths may be 300 to 400 or even more than 500.
