COVID-19 and forensic research avenues

Abstract

The world is witnessing a global pandemic in form of  Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) caused by SARS-CoV-2  virus. The exponential spread of COVID-19 has already  resulted in enormous morbidity and mortality. In these trying  times, healthcare providers and researchers have left no stone  unturned to save human lives by providing prompt healthcare  services and devising newer ways to combat the crisis. In view  of the considerable mortality, role of forensic practitioners has  become paramount specially in view of the dignified  management of the dead.
