The German official institution for disease prevention (RKI) also discouraged from making autopsies. The Hamburg pathologists did not give a shit, said that it is their job to find out what happened and carried on. I am so happy that there are still many people out there who can think for themselves.

Why are autopsies being forbidden/discouraged? Is it to minimize biohazards and contamination?

In the Italian case, safety was mentioned, and the governmental expert panel was quoted as saying that autopsies were unnecessary since the cause of death was known.
