আসসালামুআলাইকুম ওয়া রাহমাতুল্লাহ
বর্তমান করোনা ভাইরাসে আক্রান্ত ব্যক্তিকে অনেক হাসপাতালে যেভাবে চিকিৎসা দেয়া হচ্ছে, তা নীতি মেনেই দেয়া হচ্ছে আলহামদুলিল্লাহ।। একজন জীবিত করোনায় আক্রান্ত রোগী তার হাচি কাশি বা মুখের থুতুর মাধ্যমে ভাইরাস ছড়ায়, আর তাই সাবধানতার সাথে রোগীর সেবা করা হয়।কিন্তু একজন করোনায় আক্রান্ত রোগী মারা যাওয়ার পর তার কাশি হাচি বা থুতু দিয়ে ভাইরাস ছড়ানোর কোন সুযোগই নাই। মৃত ব্যক্তি জীবিত ব্যক্তি থেকেও নিরাপদ। ইবোলা ভাইরাসের সংক্রামক বিধির সাথে করোনাকে মিলিয়ে যে ধরনের অবস্থা সৃষ্টি হয়েছে, তাতে মৃত ব্যক্তির প্রতি অসম্মানজনক আচরন করা হচ্ছে কোন কোন ক্ষেত্রে। নিজ আপনজনও অত্যন্ত অপ্রত্যাশিত আচরন করে যাচ্ছেন বা সমাজ বাধ্য করছে। অথচ WHO এই বিষয়ে সঠিক নির্দেশনা দিয়ে রেখেছে৷ আমরা এই নির্দেশনা না জেনে ভয়ানকভাবে অন্যরকম ভুল তথ্য দিয়ে পরিবার, সমাজে মানবিকহীনতাকেই যেন উস্কে দিচ্ছি।
সঠিক জ্ঞান কঠিন সময়ে আরো বেশী গুরুত্বপূর্ণ।
ভুল তথ্য মানুষের জীবনকে কঠিন করে দেয়, কোন তথ্য আসলে তা যাচাই করতে শিক্ষা দেয় ইসলাম।
WHO গাইডলাইন অনুযায়ী মৃত ব্যক্তিকে গোসল, কাফন জানাযা দাফন করা যাবে। মৃত ব্যক্তিকে বিশেষ প্যাকেটেও ঢুকানোর প্রয়োজন নাই বলেও উল্লেখ আছে সেখানে, হাতে গ্লোভস পড়ে সাবধানতার সাথে গোসল করিয়ে কাফনের কাপড় পড়িয়ে লাশ দাফন করা যাবে ইন শা আল্লাহ। সীমিত লোক জমায়েত গাইডলাইন মেনে জানাযা পড়ানো যাবে নিয়ম মেনে।
নীচে WHO পিডিএফ দেয়া হলো। আমাদের জানা প্রয়োজন। শুনা কথা দিয়েই আমরা সঠিক পথ থেকে বিভ্রান্ত হয়ে দূরে সরে যাচ্ছি। শয়তান এই সুযোগকে কাজে লাগিয়ে যাচ্ছে। একজন মুসলিমের হক যেনো অন্য মুসলিম আদায় না করতে পারে সেই চক্রান্ত করে যাচ্ছে, পারস্পরিক সম্পর্ক রক্ষায় করনীয় যে শিক্ষা ইসলাম দিয়েছে,তা প্রশ্নবিদ্ধ করে দিচ্ছে। মহান আল্লাহ আমাদের সর্বাবস্থায় সঠিকপথে থাকার জ্ঞান ও পথ সহজ করে দিন। আমাদের অক্ষমতা দূর্বলতাকে ক্ষমা করুন। শয়তান থেকে আমাদের হেফাজত করুন। বর্তমান এই কঠিন পরীক্ষায় উত্তীর্ণ হওয়ার সকল পথ সহজ করে দিন।
ঈমানকে আরো সতেজ উদ্দীপ্ত করে দিন।
বিস্তারিত পিডিএফ ডাউনলোড করে জানার অনুরোধ রইলো।
মহান আল্লাহ আমাদের ক্ষমা করুন
Background
This interim guidance is for all those, including managers of health care facilities and mortuaries, religious and public health authorities, and families, who tend to the bodies of persons who have died of suspected or confirmed COVID-19.
These recommendations are subject to revision as new evidence becomes available. Please refer to the WHO website for updates on the virus and technical guidance.
Key considerations
• COVID-19 is an acute respiratory illness caused by COVID-19 virus that predominantly affects the lungs;
• Based on current evidence, the COVID-19 virus is transmitted between people through droplets,
fomites and close contact, with possible spread through faeces. It is not airborne. As this is a new virus whose source and disease progression are not yet entirely clear, more precautions may be used
until further information becomes available;
• Except in cases of hemorrhagic fevers (such as Ebola, Marburg) and cholera, dead bodies are generally not infectious. Only the lungs of patients with pandemic influenza, if handled improperly
during an autopsy, can be infectious. Otherwise, cadavers do not transmit disease. It is a common myth that persons who have died of a
communicable disease should be cremated, but this is not true.
Cremation is a matter of cultural choice and available resources;1
• To date there is no evidence of persons having become infected from exposure to the bodies of persons who died from COVID-19;
• People may die of COVID-19 in the health care facilities, home or in other locations;
• The safety and well-being of everyone who tends to bodies should be the first priority. Before attending to a body, people should ensure that the necessary
hand hygiene and personal protective equipment (PPE) supplies are available (see Annex I);
• The dignity of the dead, their cultural and religious traditions, and their families should be respected and
protected throughout;
• Hasty disposal of a dead from COVID-19 should be avoided;
• Authorities should manage each situation on a case-by-case basis, balancing the rights of the family,
the need to investigate the cause of death, and the risks of exposure to infection.
Preparing and packing the body for transfer from a patient room to an autopsy unit, mortuary, crematorium, or burial site
• Ensure that personnel who interact with the body (health care or mortuary staff, or the burial team) apply standard precautions,2,3 including hand
hygiene before and after interaction with the body, and the environment; and use appropriate PPE according to the level of interaction with the body,
including a gown and gloves. If there is a risk of splashes from the body fluids or secretions, personnel should use facial protection, including the use of face shield or goggles and medical mask;
• Prepare the body for transfer including removal of all lines, catheters and other tubes;
• Ensure that any body fluids leaking from orifices are contained;
• Keep both the movement and handling of the body to a minimum;
• Wrap body in cloth and transfer it as soon as possible to the mortuary area;
– There is no need to disinfect the body before transfer to the mortuary area;
– Body bags are not necessary, although they may be used for other reasons (e.g. excessive body fluid leakage); and
• No special transport equipment or vehicle is required.
Funeral home/ mortuary care
• Health care workers or mortuary staff preparing the body (e.g. washing the body, tidying hair, trimming
nails, or shaving) should wear appropriate PPE according to standard precautions (gloves, impermeable disposable gown [or disposable gown
with impermeable apron], medical mask, eye protection);
• If the family wishes only to view the body and not touch it, they may do so, using standard precautions at all times including hand hygiene. Give the family
clear instructions not to touch or kiss the body;
• Embalming is not recommended to avoid excessive manipulation of the body;
• Adults >60 years and immunosuppressed persons
should not directly interact with the body
.Burial by family members or for deaths at home
In contexts where mortuary services are not standard or reliably available, or where it is usual for ill people to die at
home, families and traditional burial attendants can be equipped and educated to bury people under supervision.
• Any person (e.g. family member, religious leader) preparing the deceased (e.g. washing, cleaning or dressing body, tidying hair, trimming nails or
shaving) in a community setting should wear gloves for any contact with the body. For any activity that
may involve splashing of bodily fluids, eye and mouth protection (face shield or goggles and medical mask) should be worn. Clothing worn to prepare the body should be immediately removed
and washed after the procedure, or an apron or gown should be worn;
• The person preparing the body should not kiss the deceased. Anyone who has assisted in preparing the body should thoroughly wash their hands with soap
and water when finished;
• Apply principles of cultural sensitivity and ensure
that family members reduce their exposure as much as possible. Children, older people (>60 years old),
and anyone with underlying illnesses (such as respiratory illness, heart disease, diabetes, or compromised immune systems) should not be
involved in preparing the body. A minimum
number of people should be involved in
preparations. Others may observe without touching the body at a minimum distance of 1 m;
Family and friends may view the body after it has been prepared for burial, in accordance with customs.
They should not touch or kiss the body and should wash their hands thoroughly with soap and water following the viewing; physical distancing measures
should be strictly applied (at least 1 m between people).
• People with respiratory symptoms should not participate in the viewing or at least wear a medical mask to prevent contamination of the place and
further transmission of the disease to others;
• Those tasked with placing the body in the grave, on the funeral pyre, etc. should wear gloves and wash
hands with soap and water once the burial is complete;
• Cleaning of reusable PPE should be conducted in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions for all
cleaning and disinfection products
(e.g. concentration, application method and contact time, etc.);
• Children, adults > 60 years, and immunosuppressed persons should not directly interact with the body;
• Although burials should take place in a timelymanner, in accordance with local practices, funeralceremonies not involving the burial should be
postponed, as much as possible, until the end of theepidemic. If a ceremony is held, the number of participants should be limited. Participants should
observe physical distancing at all times, plus respiratory etiquette and hand hygiene;
• The belongings of the deceased person do not need to be burned or otherwise disposed of. However, they should be handled with gloves and cleaned with
a detergent followed by disinfection with a solution of at least 70% ethanol or 0.1% (1000 ppm) bleach,and
• Clothing and other fabric belonging to the deceased should be machine washed with warm water at 60−90°C (140−194°F) and laundry detergent. If
machine washing is not possible, linens can be soaked in hot water and soap in a large drum using a stick to stir and being careful to avoid splashing. The
drum should then be emptied, and the linens soaked in 0.05% chlorine for approximately 30 minutes.
Finally, the laundry should be rinsed with clean water and the linens allowed to dry fully in sunlight.
