Management of palliative care in hospital during the coronavirus pandemic, NHS England (updated 22nd April 2020)
Where coronavirus has been confirmed or, if the patient has been tested and no results are available yet, they will need to be treated as high risk when they die. Mementoes or keepsakes (for example, locks of hair, handprints, etc.) may be offered and taken at the time of care after death. These cannot be offered or undertaken at a later date. They must be placed in a sealed bag and the relatives must not open these for at least 72 hours. Full PPE should be worn for performing physical care after death.

It ’s Time to Get Serious About End-of-Life Care for High-Risk Coronavirus Patients
There is perhaps nothing that exemplifies the sheer magnitude of deaths due to COVID-19 than public health officials’ decision last week to turn a Madrid ice rink into a morgue. They did this, they said, to help families, as funeral parlors no longer felt safe collecting bodies and existing morgues were at capacity. In Italy, an emergency national law has prohibited funerals completely; elsewhere in the world, including in the U.S., visitors are banned from hospitals. This means that in the coming weeks as coronavirus cases are projected to grow, many Americans will die and die alone. These are not the deaths or cel...
