EPA-approved products in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions for all
cleaning and disinfection products (such as concentration, application method,

How do you transport the body of a person who has died from COVID-19?
section_content: Follow these steps if you are involved in transporting the body of someone who
died from COVID-19:

If the body of a tribal member needs to be moved, wear disposable gloves and contain the body in a body bag, an impermeable shroud, or another impermeable covering that does not allow body fluids to leak from the enclosure. The virus that causes COVID-19 is not thought to be carried by blood (bloodborne), but leaked fluids could cause exposure to pathogens.
If a body bag is used to contain the body, disinfect the outside of the bag with an EPA-approved disinfectant for emerging viral pathogensexternal icon. Be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning and disinfection products including concentration, application method, and contact time.
Following transport of the body, carefully remove your gloves and immediately wash your hands with soap and water for 20 seconds. If soap and water are not available, use a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol.


Reviewer feedback on this answer:
This answer is irrelevant to the question. This information is about transporting body of a person who died from Covid-19 and does not provide any information on what should be done after preparing a body that was affected by Covid-19.
This only discusses transporting a body bag, not preparing a body and thus does not answer the question.

How can I protect myself when preparing the body of someone who died of COVID-19?
section_content: If washing the body, shrouding, or other important religious or cultural
practices are observed in a specific tribal community, families are encouraged
to consider this guidance and work with their cultural and religious leaders
and funeral home staff on how to reduce their exposure as much as possible.
If you participate in these activities, wear disposable gloves (nitrile,
latex, or rubber). And you may need additional equipment (called personal
protective equipment, or PPE). For example, you may need the following:

Disposable, waterproof isolation gown
Face shield or goggles
Facemask

Following preparation of the body remove PPE and throw away. Immediately wash
your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. If soap and water are
not available, use a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol.
Shower after completing body preparation activities. If you did not wear any
personal protective equipment while preparing the body, wash your clothes in
the warmest setting possible and dry them completely.
For more information see CDC resources on Cleaning and Disinfecting Your
Facility
or Cleaning and Disinfecting Your
Home.
