Funeral guidelines for COVID-19 victims are set to be eased, according to a draft compiled by the Health, Labor, and Welfare Ministry.
Under the current guidelines, corpses are supposed to be kept in body bags as part of measures to mitigate the spread of the disease, but this advice is expected to be scrapped.
The ministry established the current guidelines in July 2020 to prevent the spread of coronavirus among family members, medical staff and funeral service personnel.
