YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThe Chinese capital Beijing is seeing a sharp increase in COVID-19 cases. And high numbers of workers testing positive for the virus means the city's funeral homes are overwhelmed.
Undertakers say they are short on drivers and workers, so families have to wait longer to cremate their relatives. Local media have reported more coronavirus-linked deaths, even though official tallies do not include the latest victims. China relaxed some of the world's toughest measures to control the spread of the virus just over a week ago.
