MOSCOW (Sputnik) – Authorities in New York City, the epicentre of the current COVID-19 outbreak in the United States, will begin burying victims of the disease in mass graves on Hart Island in the Long Island Sound, a mayoral spokeswoman told The New York Post.
In recent weeks, the Hart Island Project non-governmental organisation, which seeks to provide information and access to the public cemeteries on the island, has published video footage captured with the use of a drone showing the digging of mass graves there.
New photos published on Thursday appear to show at least 40 caskets being buried in a single mass grave, the newspaper reported.
New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo announced on Thursday that the total number of COVID-19 cases confirmed in the state since the start of the outbreak has reached 159,937, resulting in the deaths of 7,067 people. A total of 87,028 cases have been confirmed in New York City alone.
