Waste that has been in contact with a facility that is housing a COVID-19 patient or a person who has been exposed to the coronavirus, including decontamination materials, is to be treated as regulated medical waste, according to an article on the Physicians Practice website.
The CDC has recommended that control of COVID-19 waste be handled through routine procedure, with personal protective equipment standard to infection control.
For workers that may be in close proximity to carriers of the disease, airborne protective equipment is advised as well.
The best bet in tackling the COVID-19 pandemic is to contract an OSHA-compliant medical waste management expert that can handle all of your needs on your schedule.
