Covid 19 Virus and Facemask

Why safe disposal of Coronavirus/Covid 19 virus-infected mask is important?

According to the guidelines related to the precautions of the Covid 19 virus provided by the World health organization, the use of facemasks for coronavirus patients is very important, because in this way a patient can stop spread of body liquid from his mouth and nose to other bodies.

Safe disposal of corona infected face mask is as much important as the use of face masks by coronavirus/ Covid 19 virus-infected person.

Why safe disposal of Coronavirus/Covid 19 Virus?

Safe disposal of Covid 19 virus-infected person is important because If we dispose of corona infected facemask in an open area or in the household bin then it may infect the municipal workers & sweepers and roadside children. The use of masks & sanitizer is good for self-protection but the disposal of these items must be as per the guidance of the health and sanitation department.

You can stay safe from coronavirus if you follow guidelines provided by WHO:

  • Wash your hand frequently with Soap or an alcohol-based sanitizer.
  • Avoid touching your face
  • Keep social distancing
