    Abstract/Overview
    Health determinants on safety of community health during coronavirus disease 2019, (COVID,19), determined by freshly arterial embalmment for safe disposal and cadaver’s dissection.Fluid concentration based specific case analysis to enable quality hygiene and eliminate community transmissions. COVID-19 symptoms: fever, sore throat, cough and dyspnea due to aseptic shock and low blood pressure attributed with sudden mortality. COVID 19 pathogens takes 48hrs in deceased to die while HIV/ AIDS 16 days. Study assessed knowledge, attitude and practices on safety of the community health when exposed to highly infectious death and associated health risks. Determined utilization of arterial embalmment and elucidate level of PPEs uptake. Despite existing enabling global health protocols on handling COVID 19, advocacy and meditations by intersectoral collaborations on safety of the community health through health promotional on health behavior change, and holistic professional machinery arterial embalmment needs, the world still struggle to purchase curative machines to solve a Public health problem as cure to a public health pandemic. Thus need to enable, mediate and advocate for holistic and comprehensive functional Primary prevention approaches, machinery arterial embalmment to enable dignified disposals and cadavers’ dissection. Descriptive mixed research: surveys and interviews were exploited, sample size of 150, observation by 3Ls explored for valid and reliable inferences through purposive random sampling. Results opined 98% COVID 19 deaths, occurred in public facilities were neither disinfected nor embalmed maybe due to global health restrictions, which were social genocides on African customs, virtues and norms, as noted with night calm exhumations, exposing community health to health risks of OD 6.7, RR (5.6, 7.7). Uptake of PPEs was very low, due to MOH failure to classify distinct, Red and Blue COVID 19 zones to enable holistic health behavior change. Thus only 25% population health enables correct uptake of PPEs with insignificance OD ratio of (1.0), and RR (2.3, 2.3). The 6 feet physical/social distance application remained insignificant with P value of 13.67. Surprisingly 76% of participants knew that COVID19 deaths transmit infections, while only 24%, participants, knew that since COVID 19 was airborne, it’s difficult to transmit infections after dead. Need to mediate and advocate for improved functional Primary preventions approaches to enable reduction of global mortalities attributed to COVID 19 pandemic.
