Elaborate burials making Enugu communities vulnerable to COVID-19 – Monarch

“Anybody who dies should be buried immediately to curtail the number of people who troop to rural communities from urban centres,’’ the monarch said.

The observance of elaborate burials is increasing the burden of coronavirus in rural communities in Enugu State, Ikechukwu Oke, Chairman, Igboeze South Traditional Rulers Council, has said.

Following a reappraisal of the situation, the government recently lifted the ban on burials and limited such to immediate family members of the deceased. The monarch said the state government needed to act in order to contain mysterious deaths in the state. He blamed the situation on the flouting of safety protocols recommended by the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control and government regulations.

Mr Onah appealed to the people to improve on their personal hygiene, wear face masks and use hand sanitisers.
