Summary:
This waste would be treated as hazardous and would be collected and transported separately. The ULBs would provide these households with specially-marked yellow garbage bags and the waste generated from quarantined houses would be treated as bio-medical waste. It would be collected in separate collection vehicles and transported separately, and the vehicles would be thoroughly disinfected every day. The sanitary staff involved in the collection and transportation of the hazardous waste should be provided with personal protective kits every day. They should deposit their used masks and gloves at a designated, cordoned-off area and such used protective gear should be treated as hazardous waste, to be disposed of through incineration..
