How to dispose of discarded masks:
The first is to standardize classified delivery. Medical institutions and their surrounding areas should treat discarded masks as medical waste, and put them into special containers after simple breakage, tearing or cutting, so as to prevent criminals from recycling and selling them. For those who have symptoms of fever, cough, expectoration and sneezing, or those who have come into contact with such people, the masks used by household isolators should be discarded in other garbage bins, and then 5% disinfectant 84 should be sprinkled on the masks according to the ratio of 1:99 for treatment. If there is no disinfectant, you can seal the mask in a sealed bag or a fresh-keeping bag and throw it into other trash cans. Wash your hands in time after release.
The second is to disinfect effectively in time. Epidemic prevention and control personnel should wear protective clothing, goggles, masks and gloves, and collect and transport medical wastes at various collection points. In strict accordance with the requirements of clean transportation, daily production and daily cleaning of domestic garbage will be achieved. Strengthen the disinfection and sterilization of garbage containers, especially garbage collection stations, garbage transfer stations, landfills, incineration plants and other public places. Strengthen the disinfection of garbage trucks, which must be closed. After the garbage is transported, the garbage truck shall be disinfected.
The third is to standardize classified disposal. The discarded masks collected by medical institutions should be disposed of according to the standards of medical waste, and the discarded masks collected in other areas should be incinerated harmlessly as other garbage types. For ordinary people who use low-risk masks, they can be thrown directly into the trash can. For people suspected of suffering from infectious diseases, abandoned masks should be handed over to the corresponding staff for treatment as medical waste.
