The fact that the 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has impacted practically every aspect of life is no longer breaking news. Prior to the time when immunizations will be widely accessible and freely available worldwide, this virus may possibly have become a permanent fixture. Healthcare delivery and medical institutions are overwhelmed by the daily increase in COVID-19 cases and fatalities. Medical education is now under pressure as a result of the succession of lockdown measures used to stop the COVID-19 virus from spreading. Millions of youngsters were forced to stay at home while schools were closed. This has made it difficult for medical students to access, among other things, dissecting areas, cadavers, bones, and pathological specimens. The degree of exposure to the COVID-19 from ongoing use of cadavers is a significant concern for academia, students, morticians, and other stakeholders, especially given that immunizations are not yet widely accessible for everyone.
