Medical staff and burial volunteers in Iraq are under the cosh dealing with the Covid-19 pandemic, having to bury between two-to-four bodies every day.

They are also having a tough time grappling with the differences in Muslim and Christina burial rites.

Burial volunteers wash and wrap bodies before putting them in coffins. 

While there is no evidence that Covid-19 can be spread by corpses, the fear that an infection could happen mean there is a poor turnout of burial volunteers.
