Pinchicha, Apr 15 (EFE).-The Tabacundo metalworking factory, owned by the council of the Ecuadorian province of Pichincha, the capital of which is Quito, has changed its production line to manufacture coffins to provide a dignified burial for those who die from the novel coronavirus, while hoping that such coffins won’t be used.The factory was formerly dedicated to producing metal sports equipment to be installed in parks throughout the province, but now its director Andrés Salas is rushing to get a batch of coffins ready.He’s optimistic and believes that the coffins won’t be used in Pichincha, although he told EFE that he and his colleagues make each of them with the sorrow in mind of what has happened in the city of Guayaquil, where many of the dead were not treated or buried in a dignified manner.(Camera: JOSÉ JÁCOME).FOOTAGE SHOWS WORKERS AT THE TABACUNDO METALWORKING FACTORY IN PICHINCHA WORKING TO MANUFACTURE COFFINS FOR THE VICTIMS OF CORONAVIRUS IN THE COUNTRY.
