The number of burials in Manaus per day increased from about 30 to more than 100, due to the coronavirus pandemic. The collapse forced the burials to be carried out collectively. Only a maximum of three relatives of each dead person could attend the funeral. The coffins were put together in a trench dug with the support of a mechanical shovel.

  • A disposable mask is seen under the shadow of a grave located in the wing for victims of Covid-19 in the public cemetery Nossa Senhora Aparecida, in the west of Manaus, Amazonas, Brazil, on June 11, 2020. The issue of disposal of masks whose use was recommended by the World Health Organization as a sanitary measure to prevent disease caused by coronavirus, is already viewed with concern and a potential environmental problem. The disposal of the material characterizes a toxic and long-lasting waste: the degradation of a disposable mask in nature can take up to 450 years. Manaus, where you can find hundreds of masks improperly discarded, is located in the middle of the Amazon rainforest at the confluence of two of the largest rivers in the world: the Amazon and the Negro.
