(UTV | COVID-19) – Responding to a question raised at an interview on Ministry of Health sought 1000 body bags from the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) to dispose bodies during the on-going coronavirus pandemic, the Director-General of Health Services Dr. Anil Jasinghe clarified that body bags weren’t invented only for COVID-19.
The requesting body bags from the International Red Cross Committee (ICRC) is only a simple request.
Dr. Jayasinghe said that requesting for body bags does not anticipate a large number of deaths due to the coronavirus.
