The apex court bench, headed by Justice Ashok Bhushan, said “Covid-19 patients are treated worse than animals. In one case, a body was found in garbage."

Slamming the Delhi government for the way the bodies of deceased covid-19 patients were handled, the court said there was no adherence to the guidelines of the home ministry. Neither the patient’s family was being informed about the death nor were the bodies cremated/buried appropriately, it added.
