As the number of coronavirus cases in India continues to rise, people have been urged to wear face masks. But there is no system to safely dispose of protective equipment and rubbish collectors say the waste is putting their lives at risk.

Think so dear Shno Mustafa Ali and it's specially a serious problem for third world countries where hospital waste management is not satisfactory at all.
Exactly the wastes are another problem to the environment (water, air soil) of each country
Hospital waste is more dangerous always than the general one dear Shno Mustafa Ali and hospital waste is a silent threat even in normal time.
Even in Africa, a similar scenario is being experienced and I agree with you it is a ticking bomb in waiting
Think so dear Joan Nyika and it's always a neglected issue here.
