Please take a look at this useful RG link.

Article Review: The safe handling of a corpse (suspected) with COVID-19

Bruce Lyday

The virus is active, it multiplies in cells of a living organism and until they die, destroy these cells.

Pushkin Sergey Viktorovich

The point is how much time has passed since the person died. Until a person gets to the morgue, he is kantageozen. After the freezer, no. Therefore, we take precautions when transporting the deceased.
