We May Be Forced To Reject New Corpses If…. – Mortuary Workers

Published

Members of the Mortuary Workers Association of Ghana have charged Ghanaians to take advantage of President Akufo-Addo directives to ban social gatherings and funerals and decongest the morgues by organizing private burials for their loved ones.

Speaking with Citi News, the General Secretary of the Association, Richard Kofi Jordan noted that they’ll be forced to reject new corpses if families fail to come for their dead bodies.

“The COVID-19 deaths together with deaths from other diseases are all put together. So what has happened is that once the president issued the ban on funerals, people have started cancelling their funerals as well waiting that one day and somehow, the president will lift it for them to have an elaborate funeral.

“So, we suggest they can have the burial service and maybe later do the funeral otherwise anytime soon, we will have to be sending families away indicating that the mortuaries cannot collect more dead bodies.”
