This guidance should be read in conjunction with the general guidance for management of dead bodies previously developed by the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO)/WHO, ICRC, and the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) in 2016 [5]. The general procedures to be followed when undertaking the recovery and identification of human remains of persons known or suspected to have died from COVID-19 are those outlined in Annex 6 of this Manual [5]. However, this Annex was drafted for handling the dead from HG4 pathogens, such as Ebola. Therefore, some of the guidance provided for in Annex 6 is excessive for COVID-19, including on the level of PPE and disinfection required as well as on the disposal of bodies.
