MOH: Post-mortem shows coronavirus stays on skin, funeral rites can only involve body bags

Friday, 10 Apr 2020 07:33 PM MYTHealth director-general Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah confirmed today that the Health Ministry’s post-mortems show that the coronavirus still stays on the surface of the skin of deceased victims. — Picture by Choo Choy May

Health Director-General Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah said this means that any religious rites during funeral can only involve the surface of the body bags of the Covid-19 victims. The Malaysian fatwa committee has previously decided in a conference on March 15 that any funeral rites for Muslims should only involve “tayammum”, or religious purification using earth or dust, rather than the usual practice of bathing the dead.
