Sao Paulo has started to dig up graveyards to create more space as coronavirus continues to ravage Brazil.
In a statement issued Friday, Sao Paulo’s municipal funeral service said the remains of people who died at least three years ago will be exhumed and put in numbered bags, then stored temporarily in containers that will be delivered to other cemeteries within 15 days.
Adenilson Costa, a gravedigger at Vila Formosa, said their work has only grown more arduous during the pandemic and he fears what is to come. A decline in intensive care beds to about 70 percent prompted Mayor Bruno Covas to partially reopen businesses, which has prompted crowds across the city who show no regard for social distancing.Cemetery workers exhume remains buried three years ago at the Vila Formosa cemetery, which does not charge families for the gravesites, in Sao Paulo, Brazil, Friday, June 12, 2020.
