Sidhu appeals to people not to oppose cremation of COVID-19 positive

Chandigarh, Apr 3 (UNI) Punjab Health Minister Balbir Singh Sidhu on Friday appealed to the public not to panic, as the cremation of a COVID-19 positive patient, does not pose any additional threat.
Mr Sidhu made the appeal, in reaction to an incident that took place on Thursday, in which cremation of the body of renowned Ragi Padam Shri Bhai Nirmal Singh was opposed, owing to his demise from COVID-19.
Sensitising the public, the crematorium and burial ground staff, he reiterated that the cremation has no adverse effects, if proper protocols are adhered to. So much so that even the ash does not pose any risk and can even be collected to perform the last rites, he added.
