Good Morning,
Can anyone advise if you are double bagging clinical waste for known or suspected COVID-19 patients?
I thought that I had seen it written somewhere in the early part – but now the guidelines are stating normally process for clinical waste which would be one bag.
Any comments would be gratefully received.

Hi Janine
WHO specifies infectious Waste and no special requirements
Btw WHO.int is a great first stop for any questions and guidance
https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019
AHPC advice via CDNA is next – note that that advice is to be updated soon.
BTW We are trying to stop the various medical specialty colleges from issuing advice without its endorsement first by AHPCregards

Hi Janine,
we are still double bagging, this is more to prevent the runners coming in contact with the bags, so the runner stands in the corridor with open ‘clean bag’ and ‘dirty’ bag placed into it .
