Los Angeles County, California, will no longer be subjected to air quality regulations limiting the number of cremations that may be performed there.
Business Insider reports the South Coast Air Quality Management District said the regulation was lifted so officials could handle a 'backlog' of bodies.
Business Insider reports the move comes as a grim reminder of the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic in California.
The regulation has been lifted for 10 days, with the option to be extended.
