Coronavirus: Italian army called in as crematorium struggles to cope with deaths

The Italian city of Bergamo, one of the worst-hit by the coronavirus outbreak, is having to transport its dead out of the city as its crematorium is struggling to cope.  Army vehicles have been brought in to move dozens of coffins from Bergamo to other regions, according to Ansa news agency. The wealthy city, northeast of Milan in Italy’s Lombardy region, has recorded at least 93 coronavirus-related deaths as cases continue to grow relentlessly each day. The mayor of Bergamo, Giorgio Gori, said the true number of related deaths could be higher as many people with COVID-19 symptoms had died before being tested. “The crematorium of Bergamo, working at full capacity, 24 hours a day, can cremate 25 dead”, said a spokesperson for the local authority.

“It is clear that it could not stand up to the numbers of the past few days.” Coffins are now being taken to crematoriums in Modena, Acqui Terme, Domodossola, Parma, Piacenza and several other cities. Many of the deceased were unable to have funerals as the demand is too high, and instead they were taken to a chapel inside a church within the cemetery. Coffins have already filled up two hospital mortuaries and a cemetery morgue. Relatives have been allowed to enter the cemetery to pay their respects, but only in limited numbers and with the recommended amount of distance between each other to prevent the spread of the virus. Meanwhile, the local newspaper’s daily obituary section has increased from two or three pages to 10.

The latest developments around the world:

The Chinese city of Wuhan and its surrounding province, the former epicentre of the outbreak, have reported no new cases of COVID-19

California’s state governor has said more than 60,000 homeless people in the state could contract coronavirus over the next eight weeks, according to modelling

US President Donald Trump has invoked an emergency act to overcome shortages of face masks, ventilators and other supplies

Japan has announced it will end its state of emergency today and “move to a new stage to overcome the crisis”

Iran reported its biggest jump in coronavirus deaths on Wednesday as another 147 people died, bringing the country’s total number to 1,135

The United Arab Emirates has barred residents currently outside the country from returning for at least two weeks and banned its residents from going abroad

French health authorities reported 89 new deaths from coronavirus on Wednesday, taking the total to 264 – an increase of almost 51%.

 

Earlier this month, a doctor working in a Bergamo hospital issued a stark warning that the “message of the danger of what is happening” was not reaching people. In a Facebook post, Dr Daniele Macchini said: “The situation is now nothing short of dramatic. No other words come to mind. “The war has literally exploded and the battles are uninterrupted day and night.”
