How to deal with masks during the epidemic

For discarded masks, if you are in a medical institution, please throw the used disposable masks into the yellow "medical waste" dustbin, and the medical institution will collect and disinfect them according to the medical waste.

For masks worn by ordinary people outside medical institutions, the possibility of highly pathogenic microorganisms is very low. It is suggested to fold it up like a paper towel to wipe your nose and throw it into the trash can marked "Other garbage". Masks used in household isolators should be boiled with boiling water 10- 15 minutes before being discarded, and then put into the "other garbage" collection container. Finally, please remember to wash your hands carefully with hand sanitizer or soap.

Ordinary residents should put discarded masks directly into other trash cans; If a community or unit has a special collection container for discarded masks, the realty service enterprise and unit shall cover the collection container with plastic bags and seal it, and do a good job in daily disinfection.

People who have symptoms of fever, cough, expectoration and sneezing, people who have had contact with such people, and people who are suspected of having infectious diseases should first throw their masks into other garbage bins, and then use 5% 84 disinfectant (if other disinfectants are used according to the product instructions) to sprinkle them on the masks for treatment; If there is no disinfectant, you can also seal the mask with sealed bags and fresh-keeping bags and throw it into other trash cans. For people suspected of suffering from infectious diseases, the used masks should be handed over to the corresponding staff for treatment as medical waste when they see a doctor or accept investigation and disposal.
