Funeral directors maintain social distancing rules for grieving families with 'innovative' ideas.
ABC's David Wright reports on the strain coronavirus has placed on mourners around the world due to social distancing standards, and how it's overwhelmed funeral homes.
When a married couple and four others from South Carolina went to a funeral last month, no one expected them to get the novelThe couple, with"several decades with adult children," were from Kershaw County and died four days apart, said Kershaw County Coroner David West. The four others were three women and one man from Sumter County who died between March 27 and April 2, said Sumter County Coroner Robert Baker.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued warnings against mass gatherings of 250 people and more or 10 or more for high-risk populations, across the country onto prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus. Other safety measures, including social distancing and self-isolation, followed. The safety precautions were enforced days after the six South Carolina mourners went to the same funeral earlier in the month, Baker said.
Since social distancing orders were implemented, events like funerals where family and friends gather together to mourn with hugs, kisses and other means of consoling, are now restricted to watching the service from a screen or a car at a distance.
