"I’ve seen plenty of such cases like this, where bodies are decomposed, in the COVID outbreak, and also done postmortems in ‘query COVID’ cases [where the disease was suspected]."

As per the reports published in the newspaper, doctors believed that there were dozens of such cases have occurred in London.

Reportedly, 700 people have been died at home in London, in which cause of death is due to the coronavirus.
