JAKARTA - Within 8 days of opening, the special COVID-19 burial ground at the Bambu Apus Public Cemetery (TPU) has been filled with 306 bodies of COVID-19, starting from Thursday, January 21 to Thursday, January 28.
A total of 700 graves were prepared. With so many new bodies being buried, it is estimated that this 3,000 hectare plot of land will be full in 1 month.
In order to accommodate more graves, the Bamboo Apus TPU manager worked around this by reducing the size of each plot.
Muhaimin, the Special Implementing Supervisor for the Covid-19 Cemetery of Bamboo Apus Cemetery, said that his party had reduced the area of the hole to 1.2 x 2.2 meters, from the previous area of 1.5 x 2.2 meters.
"Even though it is smaller in size, there is still a distance of about 40 centimeters on each side when loading the coffin," Muhaimin told reporters, Friday, January 28.
According to Muhaimin, saving size will increase the number of holes or grave plots. Trimming the area of the grave plots will double the number of bodies that can be accommodated to 1,500 grave plots.
"It is estimated that the number of grave plots that can be added to the land is around 850 to 900 holes," he added
Currently, the digging officers at the Bambu Apus cemetery have been added to around 35 people for handling because the bodies continue to grow and the excavation takes a lot of time.
