How to deal with the mask after use?

Walking on the street, you can see that people are wearing masks to prevent the invasion of the new coronavirus, but how to deal with the used masks? Cut? Pour boiling water? To burn?

Look at the correct posture here to answer it for you. Masks used by different groups of people should be treated in different ways. For example, masks used by ordinary people in daily life can be disposed of with household garbage. Many ordinary people now wear masks when going out for activities, such as taking the bus or going to the supermarket to buy food. In this case, the chance of being infected with the new coronavirus should be very small, so the used masks do not need to take special disinfection measures. , You can dispose of it with the household garbage; if some citizens go to some places with a slight risk of infection, such as going to the hospital to see other diseases, or going to the hospital to do some temporary work, you can put the mask you wear at this time Put it in a plastic bag, pour it with boiling water, tie the mouth of the plastic bag tightly, and discard it. “According to current research, 56℃ can kill the virus in half an hour. The temperature of boiling water is much higher than this. It will not decrease quickly, so it can serve the purpose of killing the virus." As for those suspected cases or confirmed patients, masks must be safely disposed of through special medical waste. "Most of these groups have already been to the hospital. The medical staff will handle it properly."

Nowadays, many citizens are buying masks with N95 or even higher protection level. In fact, if you are not high-risk medical workers, you do not need to wear N95 masks for normal life and work. General medical surgical masks are enough. And walking in an outdoor environment, if there is a distance of more than 2 meters from other people, the risk of not even wearing a mask is very small.
