Officials of the New York City Office of Chief Medical Examiner informed the New York City council health committee last week that remains of around 750 Covid-19 victims continue to be stored in refrigerated trucks for over a year now, reports
Washington Examiner.
These makeshift morgues were created to store the bodies of deceased Covid-19 patients as the pandemic exploded at New York in spring last year.
Executive deputy commissioner with the medical examinerâs office Dina Maniotis has revealed that these bodies could probably end up at Hart Island, where the bodies of the poor and unclaimed individuals have been buried for more than a century now.
