China crematoriums are fully booked as people are struggling to handle an influx of dead bodies due to the wild rise in Covid cases.

In the wake of the government’s abrupt decision to lift lockdowns, quarantine centers, testing centers, hospitals, and drugstores are struggling to handle the demand.

The outbreak is now a concern for the rest of the globe, according to the United States, given the possibility of new mutations and the magnitude of China’s economy.

According to reports, the crematorium had run out of space to keep bodies.

The number of bodies found in recent days is far more than before, as per media reports.

An employee at a funeral home in Shenyang, China’s northeastern metropolis claimed that because crematoriums are completely crowded, the deceased are often left unburied for up to five days.

The termination of mandated testing has made it challenging to trace the toll of China’s Covid spike.

Authorities last week acknowledged that it is now impossible to calculate how many people have been ill.

According to Beijing health officials, only individuals who had directly died from respiratory failure brought on by the virus will be included in the Covid mortality numbers.
