Coronavirus: Malaysia Converts Shipping Container to Morgue
18 May 2021
Malaysia’s health ministry converted a shipping container into a makeshift morgue on Sunday in the western state of Selangor as proper morgues have reached capacity in the state amid a recent surge in new Chinese coronavirus infections and deaths.
“The first container was set up at the Sungai Buloh Hospital in Selangor, and can fit up to 16 bodies,” local news outlet Coconuts Kuala Lumpur reported on May 16.
The Malaysian Health Ministry posted photos of the shipping container-turned-morgue to its official Facebook page on Sunday. The ministry did not indicate if it would need to use more shipping containers to temporarily store coronavirus victims before their burial or cremation.
