What to do with masks worn during an outbreak

Masks worn during the epidemic need to be handled specifically according to the specific situation, including medical institutions, ordinary individuals, and suspected infected people. 1. Medical institutions: If discarded masks are generated in medical institutions, they can be thrown into the medical waste garbage bag, after which the masks will be centralized as medical waste. 2. Ordinary individuals: the risk of infection for ordinary individuals is low, and the masks can be thrown into the garbage after use. If there is a recycling center for discarded masks in front of the community, the masks can be put into it directly. 3. People suspected of being infected: This group of people may have coughs and fever, and also includes groups that have been in contact with such people. Masks can be disposed of in the garbage, sprayed with diluted 84 disinfectant to disinfect the masks, or sealed in a ziplock bag or plastic bag and disposed of in the garbage. Masks need to be disposed of according to regulations, not arbitrarily, to avoid infection. At the same time usually need to change the mask, do not wear the mask into the pocket.
