Overview

Analysis of 1,569 medicolegal autopsies reveals disruptions due to COVID-19 lockdowns, indicating altered forensic services.

Key Points

  • Only 6.37% of autopsies were conducted during the lockdown, showing a major decline in forensic services.
  • There was a significant surge in autopsy cases post-lockdown, particularly related to respiratory, cardiac, and traumatic deaths.
  • Operational delays and shifts in age distribution during COVID-19 highlight the broader implications for forensic services.
  • The findings underscore the necessity for adaptable protocols in healthcare responses to emergencies.
