It is reported that the corpse of a corona infected person who had been placed for cremation at the Matugama Panthiya crematorium has been taking out and another body brought in a VIP has been cremated.

The incident took place when the body of a 93-year-old woman who died of corona infection was brought to the crematorium by a hospital ambulance for cremation.

Corona’s body has been taken out and placed in an ambulance for cremation until the VIP body is cremated.

The public health inspectors are helpless due to an order that came from a higher authority above them.

Health workers say the body was left in the ambulance for more than two hours, leaving the ambulance with no choice for using other services.
