“The number of deaths in recent days has imposed an activity as a front not only in hospitals, but also in cemeteries, announces Monitorul de Botoșan i.
In order to cope with the rhythm imposed by the deaths, the management of the Public Service for Administration of Markets, Obor and Cemeteries (SPAPOC) decided to rent an excavator to dig pits because the gravediggers could no longer cope with the wave of burials.
“On October 12, there were 14 burials. I rented an excavator. It was a force majeure situation because seven pits had to be dug. The other families already had leased places “, said Marinela Vieru, SPAPOC director. The official added that he cannot predict what will happen in the coming days.
**If before this sanitary crisis, there were five or six burials per day in the county seat municipality, in the last days their number has exceeded ten. The centralized data show that, at the level of Botoşani municipality, every month, there were approximately 50 deaths, but their number doubled.** SPAPOC has ten graves, which are distributed on the two cemeteries, depending on the number of burials.
The wave of burials exacerbates the crisis of eternal places, so the mayors must find solutions. At this date, the tender is underway to expand the Eternitatea Cemetery.
Due to the large wave of people who died as a result of the infection with the new coronavirus, a crisis of places in cemeteries broke out in Italy this spring.
In Rome, in May, there was even a riot of funeral home employees who complained that there were no more places available.
Spread over 140 hectares in northern Rome, Prima Porta, the largest cemetery in Italy, had a waiting list that began with deaths at the beginning of the year.
People who had dead relatives since January said they had not been buried or cremated in May, and mortuaries at other cemeteries in the city were in similar situations. Ama, the municipal company that manages the cemeteries, said at the time that the delays were exacerbated by coronavirus deaths and regulations imposed by the health ministry over the pandemic, the British newspaper The Guardian wrote in the spring .”
