During the epidemic, masks after use may be contaminated with bacteria and viruses. In addition to the implementation of garbage classification and treatment in many cities, it is recommended not to discard them at will. Netizens have made suggestions, such as boiling water, burning, cutting and throwing them away. These treatment methods are not scientific and should be dealt with according to the situation.
● Medical institutions: Put masks directly into medical waste garbage bags as medical waste.
● Ordinary healthy people: The risk is low, and they can be thrown directly into the “hazardous garbage” trash can.
● For people suspected of suffering from infectious diseases: when going to a doctor or undergoing quarantine, hand over the used masks to relevant staff for disposal as medical waste.
● For patients with symptoms of fever, coughing, sneezing, or people who have been in contact with such people, you can use 75% alcohol to disinfect and then put the mask in a sealed bag and then throw it into the trash can, or throw the mask into the trash can first , And then sprinkle 84 disinfectant on the mask for disinfection.
