This article reviews the aspects of the pathophysiology of the disease that have an impact on the infectivity of the body's tissues and fluids, measures for preventing biological risk, taking samples and pathological findings, both macroscopic and microscopic, associated with death caused by infection with the SARS-CoV-2 virus. 13 Nevertheless, infection by SARS-CoV-2 is associated with a high rate of mortality, and many carriers are known to exist who have no symptoms or only mild ones, so that it is possible that some of the corpses that will be subjected to a medical-legal autopsy are infected by this virus. ./cache/cord-340537-pdvpmydk.txt ./txt/cord-340537-pdvpmydk.txt
