Disposal of waste crucial

Many of us have been taking various measures to protect ourselves from the coronavirus, including using gloves and masks and hand sanitisers. But how are we disposing of those materials once used? Are we considering the health/environmental risks? Most of these materials produce plastic waste which is difficult to recycle. Unfortunately, the waste is not being disposed of in a safe and organised manner. This risks the spread of infections even further. Gloves and masks are commonly used in the medical field, but now that a large number of our population are using them, the threats of spreading infections are much higher. The authorities should do something about it urgently.
