Nearly 3,000 people to date have died from the pandemic in Taiwan. The Central Epidemic Command Center (CECC) previously indicated that the deceased should be cremated as soon as possible within 24 hours after death. However, many complained that they were unable to see their deceased family member for a last time and demanded that the rule be relaxed. However, Minister of Health and Welfare Chen Shih-chung, who heads the CECC, stated that there is only a requirement to notify within 24 hours but no requirement to dispose of remains within 24 hours. Chen's remarks caused backlash among the public and the funeral industry.
