In Shanghai, during the spread of the epidemic, the discarded masks belong to medical waste and should be centrally recovered and then centrally disposed of. If the ordinary people use the discarded masks, you can simply disinfect them and discard them in the dry garbage cans; the masks of the infected people should be disinfected first, and then handed over to the staff to deal with, to avoid randomly discarded to cause infection.
Currently, in the special period of the spread of the epidemic, the discarded masks should be treated as medical waste, the Shanghai Municipality has set up in many areas of the epidemic masks centralized recycling garbage cans, if the health of the public can not find such a garbage cans, you can discard the discarded masks disinfected into the dry garbage cans, categorized as dry garbage.
If you are infected with the epidemic, the masks you use must not be thrown away to avoid causing more viral infections. The correct way to do this is to fold the mask in half, spray it with 75% alcohol and cut it, then place the mask in a separate plastic bag and give it to a community worker for disposal.
The recycling of masks is also important. As medical devices, masks must be handled with care or they will increase the severity of the infection. Currently, the supply of masks in Shanghai has exceeded the demand, if the masks are not very dirty, you can use boiling water to cook for 10 minutes and then dried to continue to use, so as not to waste the mask resources.
