How to safely remove and dispose of a used mask and gloves: Rospotrebnadzor recommendation

The orderlies have developed a whole instruction on how to remove protective equipment so as not to catch the coronavirus.

In a number of regions, a mask and glove regime was introduced, so that Rospotrebnadzor issued its recommendations on the safe removal and disposal of the necessary protective equipment.

“Masks or respirators and gloves must be safely removed after use. The mask / respirator is removed by the fixing ties, without touching the outer and inner surfaces (the mask itself or the respirator) with your hands, ”the sanitary department specialists explained to RG.

After you have removed the mask from your face, it is recommended to start with gloves. 

“Grasp one glove with your fingers at wrist level to remove it. Without touching the skin, pull it off your hand so that the glove is turned inside out. Hold the removed glove in hand with the glove on, bring the fingers of the hand from which the glove is removed inward between the second glove and the wrist. Take off the second glove, rolling it off your hand, and put it into the first glove, ”Rospotrebnadzor instructed.

Be careful when disposing – used protective equipment must be packed in a sealed bag and only then thrown into the trash can!
