The family of a man who died of COVID-19 is now trying to recover his corpse which was mistakenly buried by the family of another fatality.

In addition to only being notified of the cause of Wazim Ray Ramjattan’s death a week and a half after he passed, the family says hospital authorities also failed to advise them to isolate themselves and get tested in the interim.

Ramjattan, 35, died suddenly on March 29th at the Georgetown Public Hospital and the family has said his body has not been seen since then.
