Birmingham Airport to be temporary coronavirus mortuary for 1,500 bodies

The West Midlands is considered a coronavirus hot-spot with 112 deaths recorded so far. It is anticipated that the new site could ultimately accommodate all deaths across the West Midlands.

They will also handle deaths which are not related to coronavirus as regional mortuaries may close due to staffing the new facility. Senior Birmingham Coroner Louise Hunt said: “We understand that it is a very difficult time for everyone and we will do all that we can to make sure bereaved families understand what is happening to their loved ones and to release them for funeral as soon as we can.”

The damp environment of the U.K. must be making the virus much more powerful especially for congestion in the chest. Sad and I hope it gets better for our brothers and sisters across the Atlantic.
