Covid - 19
is a virus that is becoming epidemic in the world starting early 2020. This
disease has claimed many deaths from all over the world, including Indonesia.
Handling of the bodies of victims of Covid - 19 cannot be arbitrary. Because
the bodies of sufferers of Covid - 19 can still infect people who have contact
with the bodies. Therefore, the procedure for handling covid-19 bodies has a
special standard set by the World Health Organization (WHO), namely the use of
coffins. The problem faced in Indonesia is that this country is predominantly
Muslim where people who die are not buried using coffins so that the
possibility of Indonesia experiencing a shortage of coffins is very high. On
the other hand, if we pay attention to environmental factors which also need to
be worried because the more use of coffins, the more the need for raw material
for the coffins, namely wood. Then more wood will be cut. This will have long
effects in the future. This research
activity develops a multi-use product. It is a product that can be used as a
mattress for the patient as well as a casket when the worst happens to the
patient. The products used use a knockdown system so there is no need for
physical contact from health workers to patients when they need to turn them into
coffins.
