Mass burial to relieve overflowing Papua New Guinea morgue as Covid cases surge

Follows attacks on Covid nurses in the country where less than 1% of the population is fully vaccinated

Papua New Guinea authorities have approved a mass burial to take pressure off Port Moresby's hospital morgue where bodies are stacked on top of each other as Covid-19 cases surge.

The burial of more than 200 bodies comes as health teams around the country report being attacked as they took part in vaccination programs.
