Sri Lanka government sources say that no final decision has been so far taken regarding the burial of the Muslim persons who pass away due to COVID-19.
However, Muslim organizations including extremist National Thawheed Jamath thanked the government for being benign to the Muslim sentiments regarding the burial of the dead.
Sources say Minister of Justice Ali Sabry is the lead advocate for the rights of the Muslims for burial.
However, the government sources further say that the probability of burying the dead COVID-19 persons on dry cemeteries is being studied. Contamination of water sources by the virus is cited by the persons who are against the burial of COVID-19 dead bodies.
