(Beijing = Yonhap News) Reporter Cho Joon-hyung = On the 17th, due to the outbreak of Corona 19 in China, an industry insider claimed that more than 2,700 people died during treatment at home in Beijing on the 17th, published in the Hong Kong media on the 18th.

Myeongbo presented this message from an official in the funeral industry in Beijing, saying that as a result of covering hospitals, funeral homes, and companies related to funerals in Beijing, the number of deaths related to the infection of COVID-19 is increasing rapidly.

China’s National Health Commission (Wiganyu) announced on its website on the 18th that 2,028 new community infections were reported in mainland China the day before, including 394 in Beijing, and there were no new deaths from COVID-19 infection.

However, Myeongbo notes that contrary to the official announcement, the funeral home is overflowing with deaths that appear to be related to the infection of COVID-19. Even if not all of the increased deaths are due to COVID-19, the number of related deaths is estimated to be significant.

Myeongbo said, “All places where bodies are stored and processed, such as hospital morgues and funeral halls in downtown Beijing, are overflowing with bodies.”

An employee at the China-Japan Friendship Hospital in Beijing said that the refrigerator was full and there were 30 bodies that could not be frozen on the floor. Myung-bo submitted that he said that he could not even receive a body that came through an emergency call).

In addition, Myungbo submitted that there is evidence that some funeral homes buy refrigerated container boxes and store 20 to 30 bodies in each box. In the midst of this, the newspaper reported that the cost of funerals in Beijing had doubled.

Along with this, Myeongbo said that after examining the cremation workload at 12 government-run funeral homes in downtown Beijing, they found that they had to wait a long time because the reservations were full.

A funeral industry official who responded to Myeongbo’s interview said, “Currently, relatively large funeral homes such as Babaoshan and Dongjiao can cremate an average of 300 people per day, but there are still about 2,000 people waiting to be cremated cremated in a week. Even if I wear make-up all the time, I can’t handle everything.”
