Is it necessary to cut and throw masks? How to avoid the second use of masks?

Is it necessary to cut the mask and throw it away? At present, the supply of masks in China is in short supply. In order to prevent new pneumonia, everyone has to buy masks. Generally, they are disposable masks. Don't throw it away easily after use, cut it into pieces to prevent black-hearted merchants from using it for the second time and selling it to others.

Is it necessary to cut the mask and throw it away? Some netizens in Weibo said:

Appeal to everyone: In order to prevent serious pollution caused by a large number of discarded masks, please put the masks in bags and then throw them away. Be sure to cut into pieces and shred them before discarding them to prevent them from being sold by black-hearted vendors for the second time (some masks are very new in color and in short supply).

1, cut into pieces! Beware of bad business recycling!

2. Why not just tear off the tape?

3. Don't touch the outside of the used mask! Don't touch the outside of the mask! ! I understand you said that cutting is to prevent bad people from reselling. Let me say here that the front crease of the used mask is unfolded, and the wire of the nose clip is difficult to recover. At the same time, recycling masks from garbage requires labor costs. Not to mention the difficulty of recycling, mask production is originally an assembly line. Is it really over?

4. Cut off the mask and throw it away, so as to avoid the second sale by unscrupulous merchants. Those Wuhan compatriots who have run away from home don't know what to say. Experts from all over the country went to Wuhan. At Zhong Lao's age, they traveled in various cities to treat the epidemic. Will you stop running around?

How to deal with the mask later? In the future, a large number of disposable masks covered with saliva, bacteria and even viruses will appear in trash cans in various cities. If you deal with these disposable masks, it is also a problem that needs to be considered by relevant departments. Don't let the mask that should protect our health become a new virus carrier.

Related news calls on everyone to store masks properly. The main reason is that many manufacturers have stopped working on holiday, and the first line really lacks protective equipment. They should go out at home as little as possible. There is no need to store one or two thousand masks. It is a waste for you to leave them there. You can buy them again when the factory resumes work in the next year. But now front-line workers, especially medical staff, are very short of these materials, and their lives are in danger. So, I really hope you don't just pay tribute and support them in action.
