MONTREAL --
The second wave of COVID-19 has overwhelmed some Montreal morgues to the point that refrigerated trucks are being used, as they were in the spring, to store human remains, CTV Montreal has confirmed.
"These alternative spaces for the management of remains have been used to ensure that we store COVID-19-related remains in a safe manner," said Helene Bergeron-Gamache, a spokesperson for the health authority for Montreal's West Island.
She was responding to a question specifically about the second wave. She said the "refrigerated trucks" have been used less recently, however, so far, than in the first wave.
