Heartbreaking pictures show coffins packed into an Italian church as authorities struggle to keep up with the high number of deaths following the corona virus outbreak.
Priests have had to carry out mass blessings because funerals are currently banned.
One said that officials do not know what to do with all the bodies as the death toll continues to rise.
Father Mario Carminati, senior priest in Seriate in Bergamo, northern Italy, said large clusters of coffins are brought in every day.
The 64-year-old, who has been a priest for 40 years, said: “Authorities didn’t know where to put the coffins.”
