US: Coronavirus victims buried on New York's Hart Island

A mass burial of coronavirus victims is taking place in the United States, Report says, citing Reuters.

Troubling new images released Thursday show nearly a dozen contracted workers in protective suits burying stacks of wooden coffins in a mass grave.

“For decades, Hart Island has been used to lay to rest decedents who have not been claimed by family members. We will continue using the Island in that order during this crisis. We will probably bury those people who have passed away from COVID on the Island in the coming days,” mayoral spokeswoman Freddi Goldstein said.
