“We request everyone not to hesitate to dispose of bodies. Protocol is already in place. Body needs to be properly wrapped and the relatives can take the bodies not inside the house but outside for a few hours”, Tynsong said.
He also urged various organisations and individuals not to be scared.
“PPEs will be provided to take care of bodies”, he added.
