The bereaved family of an Indian woman who had been declared dead after contracting Covid-19 were stunned when she arrived home two weeks after her funeral.
Muktyala Girijamma’s family were told on May 15 that she had died of coronavirus, but strict social distancing procedures meant that they could only view the body from a distance and it remained tightly wrapped in plastic right up until the point of cremation.
The 60-year-old’s nephew Nagu told reporters that when they tried to visit her at Vijayawada Government General Hospital they were told that the 60-year-old had died.
He said: “The duty doctor on that day failed to inform my uncle that she was shifted to another ward and told him that she succumbed to Covid.
