TOLUCA.-Even though every day extreme precautions are taken to avoid contracting COVID -19, six funeral service providers in the Toluca Valley have died from the virus. "We have many sick families of contagions; we have many sick families from the funeral homes themselves," said Sergio Acuña Sánchez. Mrs. RubÃ, who sells funeral services outside hospitals, said that although she has been in constant contact with human corpses for a large part of her life, she is afraid of catching it at any time and carrying the illness home.

The first time the virus arose, I am honest, I did not hear any case of a close relative, friend or acquaintance or something but this time, there are many people who I know that have become ill. Some have died, relatives, friends, acquaintances, thank God it has not happened to me, but fear prevails because there have already been deaths among funeral employees ".
