The United States became the first country in the world where the death toll from the global outbreak of the Corona virus exceeded 2,000, and due to the large number of deaths the bodies were buried in mass graves.

According to a British Broadcasting BBC report, data from the Web site of Johns Hopkins University's Corona Cases website reported 2,810 deaths over 24 hours in the United States.

Reports suggest that the death toll in the United States is likely to exceed the death toll in Italy, while the number of virus-infected patients has increased by more than 5 million.

According to a report by the Associated Press of the United States, 25 bodies were previously buried on the island during a week.

However, the burial process is now taking place five days a week and 24 hours a day instead of one day a week.

In this regard, officials said that prisoners in the city's central jail used to bury the bodies, but the workload increased so much that the work was now being taken from contractors.

It is unclear who among those buried in the gravesite has no heirs or families of dogs unable to afford the expenses.

Access to this remote cemetery is possible only by boats, where the atmosphere is always mournful due to the mass graves without books and the number of dead is unknown.

On the other hand, Dr. Anthony, the head of American Infectious Disease, claimed that corona cases and mortality levels would start to decline soon in the United States.

He further said that despite this 'significant development', prevention efforts, such as social distance, should not be eliminated.

Excessive pressure on emergency services
On the other hand, due to the large number of Corona virus cases in New York City, operators of emergency services receive a new call every 15 seconds in which callers report the health of their loved ones.

As a result of unwanted calls, authorities have begun sending text messages and Twitter alerts to the public, urging people to call only when there is a life-threatening situation.

An operator of the Emergency Services 911 said, "As we place a call, the second rings out, there is not even a minute break between calls."

Another operator said that the calls were intermittently interrupted and we were just picking up one call after another.

The fire department, on the other hand, says they are receiving more than 5,500 calls daily for ambulances, which is more than 40 percent of the normal.

South Korea: Electronic bands will be worn on the wrists of quarantine breakers
The South Korean government has decided to put electronic bands on the wrists of breakers, taking drastic measures to prevent the spread of the Corona virus.

According to a Foreign News Agency (AP) report, Yun Tai Ho, a senior official at the South Korean Ministry of Health, said concerns about the personal freedom of citizens regarding the bands were being raised.

He said the order would be implemented with the help of police and local administration officials after two weeks of preparation.

Authorities need more effective measures because the people living in Quarantine and those coming from out of the country have quit after the 14-day quota imposed April 1, the government official said.

He said that the number of citizens returning to Europe and the United States was worsening with the Corona virus.

Lee Boeim-seok, a South Korean interior and security official, acknowledged that the legal nature of forcing citizens to wear bands on the wrist is insufficient.

Police and local administration officials will submit a consent form regarding the device when investigating those who break the quarantine, he said.

According to current South Korean laws regarding pandemic diseases, violators can face one year in prison or a fine of $ 8,200.

The Interior Ministry official said those who agreed to wear bands on the wrist could potentially ease the sentence.

The number of Corona virus cases in South Korea was initially steadily increasing, but effective measures were limited.
