PETALING JAYA: Clinical waste in the country has increased by almost 100% since the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic, says Environment and Water Minister Datuk Seri Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man.

“There has been an increase in clinical waste by 96% since the pandemic started in Malaysia in December 2019.

He noted that the launch of the Covid-19 National Immunisation Programme on Feb 24 will see an increase in clinical waste nationwide. As such, Tuan Ibrahim said the government is introducing the handbook on the disposal of Covid-19 waste to ensure that such waste is disposed of at designated centres to ensure a safe and sustainable environment.

Among the measures, he said, were increasing forest protection, tree planting and use of renewable energy.
