Covid-🇱🇰

When Buddhist-majority Sri Lanka insists that coronavirus victims should be cremated rather than buried, because burials could contaminate groundwater and spread the virus, triggering much anger among minority Muslims who want to bury their dead facing Mecca.

The WHO recommends both burials and cremations of corona victims as they carry zero risks of contamination or infection, but the Sri Lankan government wants to solve the Covid-🇱🇰 crisis their own way, with no regard for religious, political, or personal reasons.
