Burial of a Coronavirus Patient Without Washing

Question
A little girl aged eight years died, and the doctors said that she was infected with coronavirus. Is it permissible to bury her without washing?
Answer
I say, and with God's guidance: The Corona disease has become common and widespread, and it is no longer harmful as it was before. Therefore, we must wash it with caution, and it is not an excuse to leave washing for this reason. And God knows best.
