According to the Measures for the Management of Medical Waste in Medical and Healthcare Institutions, when the contained medical waste reaches 3/4 of the package or container, an effective sealing method should be used to make the seal of the package or container tight and tight. Medical and health institutions should establish medical waste temporary storage facilities, equipment to store medical waste, medical waste temporary storage time shall not exceed 2 days.
