JAKARTA - The use of masks can no longer be separated from everyday life. The pandemic situation that has not subsided requires us to wear masks and apply health protocols as preventive measures.
The use of masks brings us to a new problem, namely the handling of medical waste. How do you usually dispose of the masks you have used? Did you just throw it away?
Reporting from various sources, every mask has the potential to transmit the danger of infection, including the coronavirus. This is because when used there may be splashes or droplets from the mouth that stick to the mask. As we know, the coronavirus can be transmitted through splashes or droplets.

Based on studies, the coronavirus can survive for several days on the surface of medical waste. For this reason, a disinfection process for medical waste such as masks is needed to prevent it from spreading to other people.
So, first, clean the mask before throwing it away. In addition, cut the mask to the strings. This is done so that no person misuses the mask waste for resale.
In addition, make sure to change the mask regularly. If you use a medical mask, it is recommended to replace it every four hours. If you use a cloth mask, wash it often and don't use it for more than a month.
