With the spread of the 2019 new coronavirus (2019-nCoV) epidemic, it has triggered a wave of mask purchases and hoarding by the public. Recently it is all over the business start gear, masks are out of stock off sale, a mask is difficult to find. In response to this situation: as early as the twelfth of the New Year (February 5), the Health and Welfare Commission held a press conference on the joint prevention and control mechanism of the State Council. Emphasis: For some enterprises worried about future excess capacity, the surplus production after the epidemic, the government will carry out storage, medical care as long as they meet the standards, the enterprise can start full production organization.
According to statistics as of February 11, China's mask enterprises have resumed work rate of more than 76%, however ...... China has a population of 1.4 billion, the recent is the extended holiday around the enterprise back to work after the climax, even if all the mask enterprises are back to work, the daily production of only 20 million, even if the end of February daily production capacity of up to 180 million, which is far from enough. According to the relevant departments, masks must be sterilized for 16 hours after production, and analyze the volatile sterilization gas for 7-10 days, (originally masks must be analyzed 14 days after production) before entering the market sales, in the short term mask production capacity there is a serious shortage of supply. Can't buy masks? People have started to create their own disinfection to extend the life of the mask, but is your self-creation method right?
First, use 100 degree steam and disinfect for 10 minutes. Conclusion: Undesirable, the reason why medical masks are replaced is that our breathing gas gets wet when wearing the mask, making the mask defense performance drop rapidly.
Second, use microwave heating sterilization disinfection. Conclusion: undesirable, the mask will inevitably contain some metal components, microwave sterilization is easy to cause the mask metal melting three, oven sterilization sterilization. Medical Ren medical conclusion: undesirable, oven dry baking on the mask to the mask itself more damage, and not easy to control. It was at this time that we found. Many front-line personnel face the problem of shortage of protective materials, but also on the mask to repeatedly disinfect the use of the medical medical disinfection method: write the name on the mask, disinfected with ultraviolet radiation and continue to use! As a general public we should be more economical in the use of masks, but why do medical personnel use UV disinfection, according to the "New Coronavirus Infection of Pneumonia Treatment Plan (Trial 4th and 5th Edition)", it has been clear that coronavirus is sensitive to UV and heat.
