Yaris Trespalacios, mother of the deceased minor, could not see her 4-year-old son, Javier Martínez, because doctors from the Asunción clinic in Barranquilla told him that he was a suspected case of coronavirus, Semana reported.
On Monday, May 11, the little boy died and he was immediately transferred to a funeral home, the magazine says, without the mother being able to see the boy’s body; 24 hours later, Blu Radio adds, Trespalacios was told that his son’s coronavirus test was negative.
“We contacted the funeral home and they told me that the boy had been cremated as soon as he arrived because there was the issue that he was positive. Although it came out negative, they did not let me see it, nor give him the holy grave he deserved, “said the mother, according to the station.
According to the magazine, the boy suffered three cardiac arrests the day he died, so the doctors treated it as a suspicious case of COVID-19. However, shortly after it became known that he was not infected.
The situation has been unmanageable for the family, according to Johanis Meneses, Javier’s grandmother, quoted by Semana.
“My daughter is psychologically devastated, we are all psychologically ill,” said the family, said the publication.
The Barranquilla Health Secretariat asserted that in this case the protocols decreed by the Government were fulfilled, which say that the bodies of patients must be cremated “suspects and confirmed COVID “, mainly to “protect the family group where the case was registered from the virus,” Blu Radio explained.
