Especially on the Internet, there are many ways of dealing with it: cut the masks, wash the water on the masks, and burn the masks. What should we do with the used mask? Hurry up and do the right thing for get!

How to properly remove masks?

Experts remind

The used masks may carry a large number of microorganisms, which may be adsorbed on the outer surface of the respirator through inhalation. It may also be because the users themselves carry bacteria and viruses and exhale and adsorb on the inner surface of the respirator. Therefore, be careful when you remove the mask.

Zhong Nanshan himself demonstrated the mask.

Main points

When removing the mask, there are several points to remind you:

1 do not touch the outer surface of the mask because it may infect itself.

2 if you are a patient, make sure that you do not meet other people because of the risk of infection.

3 don't touch the mask that others have used because it may cross infection.

4 do not put it directly in bags and pockets. It is recommended to put garbage bags in storage, because there may be persistent risk of infection.

How should a used respirator be handled?

Masks worn by different populations should be treated differently. Many ordinary people are also wearing masks for outgoing activities, such as going to the bus and going to the supermarket to buy vegetables. In this case, the probability of contamination with the new coronavirus should be very small, so the used masks can not take special disinfection measures, and can be disposed of with domestic waste; if some people go to places where there are slightly risk of infection, such as going to the hospital to see other diseases, or going to the hospital to do some temporary work, the masks can be put in a plastic bag at this time, and then poured with boiling water, and then the plastic bags are finally put into the mouth.

According to the current research, the virus can be killed at 56 and a half hours. The temperature of boiling water is much higher than that. After tightening the bag, the temperature will not decrease very quickly, so it can kill the virus. As for those suspected cases or confirmed patients, masks must be handled safely through specialized medical wastes. Most of these groups have arrived in hospitals, and medical personnel will handle them properly.

In addition, professionals also said that before the discarded mask was discarded, the residents in the non segregated area should be folded and striped and tied with the ear cord. When the mask is folded, the mouth and nose should be exposed. Disinfectant (spray 75% alcohol, 84 disinfectant water) should be sterilized and placed in a sealed plastic bag.

In order to cope with the outbreak of the new coronavirus pneumonia, the local governments at all levels also attach great importance to the special work of sorting, handling and disposing of the waste masks. We organize the marketing company to set up special garbage containers at the original garbage collection points to collect the waste cover. At the same time, it is also required to strengthen the classification, delivery, collection, transportation and disposal of domestic waste during the epidemic period, and strictly prohibit the disposal of medical garbage into the domestic waste disposal system, so as to prevent the two pollution.

It is commendable that in the recent CCTV financial channel "economic and information broadcasting", "one heart, one heart, conquer the epidemic", the two spread of "waste masks and soap control epidemic" was broadcast, which reported frequent coup in SuZhuang Town, Kaihua County, Quzhou, Zhejiang. At present, the SuZhuang town of Kaihua County has implemented the requirement of "no use of any mask that is used." Gao Keng Village Party members and cadres have come up with a clever strategy to open the garbage to the front door of the masses and carry out the "mask changing soap" campaign to reduce the phenomenon of masks littering. It is understood that the collected masks were sent to the township hospitals (Su Zhuang) by the village gridman, centralized by the health center, and transported directly to the city of Quzhou by specialized medical waste handling vehicles for unified treatment. In just two days, Gao Keng Village has collected 800 masks used.
