Dear Editor, we found that the publication on “Management of the corpse with suspect, probable or confirmed COVID-19respiratory infection - Italian interim recommendations for personnel potentially exposed to material from corpses, including body fluids, in morgue structures and during autopsy practice” is very interesting [1]. In fact, the management of dead body is an important issue but rarely mentioned. There is a risk of possible disease transmission from corpse to practitioner or other persons who come into contact with the corpse. The first possible case of COVID-19 transmitted from corpse by Sriwijitalai and Wiwanitkit is good evidence for the urgent need to implement good protection of disease from dead body [2].
