00:00It was the first death in our district with COVID-19.
00:04So our downgrade employees were unaware of the protocols.
00:08Though they are trained, out of fear, none dared to attend the last protocols.
00:16The whole world is fighting with the pandemic of COVID-19.
00:33So in this scenario, now that cases are increasing,
00:37every district is managing with COVID-19 positive patients
00:42in their respective district isolation centers.
00:46Yesterday, unfortunately, a COVID-19 patient died at the Peterbilt isolation ward.
00:51So it was the first death in our district with COVID-19.
00:56So our downgrade employees were unaware of the protocols.
01:00Though they are trained, out of fear, none dared to attend the last protocols.
01:08So being a district surveillance officer,
01:10it was my sole responsibility to take care of the situation.
01:16And it was my responsibility to help the deceased family members
01:24to complete the last rituals.
01:26So in this situation, the local authorities helped me.
01:39They provided a tractor to carry the dead body.
01:43But the driver of the tractor, out of fear,
01:47he was reluctant to attend the process.
01:52Hence, I attended it.
01:55I drove the tractor to the crematorium
01:58and helped the deceased relatives to complete their last rituals.
