ICMR Says No Post Mortem For Dead Bodies

Invasive techniques should not be adopted for forensic autopsy in COVID-19 death cases as doctors and other mortuary staff are exposed to potentially dangerous health risks due to organ fluids and secretions, the ICMR has said in a draft document.

The deaths in hospital and under medical care due to coronavirus infection don't require postmortem and the required certification of death is being done by treating doctors.
