TANGERANG, INDONESIA - For the residents along Indonesia's Cisadane River, the coronavirus has brought not just deadly disease, but also a deluge of medical waste: a constant stream of syringes, face masks and hazmat suits floating by.
"I still worry to be honest, but I have to wash here," local resident Eka Purwanti, 36, told Reuters, as she did her laundry in the river, and children played on the riverbank,"I hope nothing will happen, although I know it's a deadly disease." "The first time we found medical waste was after the landslide," said Mr Ade, bending down to pick up a syringe and deposit it in a safe box."In the beginning, we found around 50-60 items every day."
