What is a COVID-19 death? There is no straightforward answer to that in COVID-19 death reporting as explained. This episode presents the death rate in Nagaland in comparison with the national and global average.
When someone dies of COVID-19, the frontline workers prepares the body with all safety precautions and after the coffin is sealed and disinfected, there is no increased risk. The modes of spread of the infection are known. Therefore, the fear of being infected from a dead body is unfounded. Discrimination in life due to COVID-19 positive status, and discrimination in death. This should not be.
The majority of the positive cases are younger males who are highly mobile. Although they are less likely to suffer and more likely to recover, they can spread to the elderly and those with other health conditions who are more susceptible to COVID-19.
