According to the report prepared by the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), Delhi accounts for 10% of Covid-19 biomedical waste generated in the country each day. The CPCB has filed this report in the National Green Tribunal. The country produces 101 tonnes of Covid-19 biomedical waste every day and Delhi despite being 19th largest state or Union territory in terms of population is the third-largest generator of such waste after the bigger states of Maharashtra and Gujarat. According to the report, there is worry also about the improper segregation of waste at Covid hospitals, isolation centres and quarantine homes. Delhi currently produces 11.1 tonnes of Covid waste every day, just above Tamil Nadu (10.4 tonnes) and Madhya Pradesh (7.5 tonnes). On Tuesday, there were 15,288 active coronavirus cases in the city, of which 3,517 were being treated in hospitals, 2,136 at Covid care centres, 160 in health centres, and 8,126 in home isolation. Before the pandemic, a hospital typically generated 500 grams of biomedical waste per bed per day. That figure has now risen to 2.5-4.5 kg.
