On Friday, local time, the death toll in COVID-19 exceeded 4,000 for the third consecutive day, and Indian Prime Minister Modi sounded the alarm of COVID-19 crisis. At the same time, India does not have enough vaccines at present.
WHO pointed out that the resurgence of epidemics in India and Southeast Asian countries has sounded the alarm for the whole world. At present, the quantity and distribution of vaccines in the world have not reached the level of ending this epidemic, so it is particularly important to be vigilant and abide by the epidemic prevention and control measures.
The fire in the crematorium and the floating corpse in the Ganges;
The Ganges has always been called the "mother river" of India. However, the Ganges valley, which gave birth to Indian civilization, has recently seen a shocking scene.
According to "India Today" reported on May 13, in recent days, more than 100 bodies suspected of being infected with COVID-19 virus were thrown into the river in the Ganges River in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. Some bodies were close to decomposition, and some were washed ashore. The Bihar government said in a statement that at least 765,438+0 bodies have been found on the banks of the Bergsal River. Uttar Pradesh officials also said that they found dozens of bodies on the banks of the Henghe River.
A local Bihar resident told The Times of India that the scene on the Ganges was "shocking" and that "there were more than 150 bodies floating on the river. Now many people in the downstream area are both shocked and scared. " For people who believe in Hinduism, it is undoubtedly disrespectful that the body cannot be properly disposed of after death.
Indian Minister of Water Resources Xie Harvatt 1 1 said that the central government will investigate these bodies thrown into the river, and local governments will cremate them according to the requirements of epidemic prevention and control.
