Swedish authorities are resorting to refrigerated shipping containers, ice rinks and canteen fridges to store the nation’s dead as the Covid-19 death toll rises and burials are postponed across the country.
Long weekends such as the Easter Holidays can cause a backlog but this has been exacerbated by the coronavirus epidemic and ensuing deaths and backlog at cemeteries, many of which are closed as a precautionary measure.
In both Gothenburg and Stockholm, hospitals have resorted to renting out ice rinks and refrigerated containers for use as temporary cold storage for the deceased, while Karolinska University Hospital in Solna has resorted to using a cold storage room for food as a temporary morgue.
“The big bottleneck is that our mortuary is not properly dimensioned for such a large city that we are in. It is then important for relatives to arrange the funerals so that the deceased become coffin-bound and thus can be handled by the cemetery administration,” Gothenburg funeral director Katarina Evenseth told Swedish Radio.
She added that the ice rink "will work great" as the "coffins placed on the hockey rink" due to the dearth of business amid the ongoing coronavirus crisis.
Meanwhile, Claes Ruth of Karolinska University Laboratory said the situation was "strained" as the "inflow of bodies is greater than the outflow," a situation which, rather grimly, applies to "all hospitals" in the country.
Stockholm's Danderyds hospital has seen a fivefold increase in the number of bodies sent to the morgue while Karolinska's body count has risen by a factor of eight, to between 100 and 150 bodies.

Ännu mer bevis på att sjukhusen går på knä och att dödstalen är enorma.
