Question: Are there any procedures for handling waste produced by patients who are suspected or confirmed to have COVID-19

Answer passage (source: WHO):
page_title: Q&A: Infection prevention and control for health care workers caring for patients with suspected or confirmed COVID-19
section_headers: What personal protective equipment (PPE) should be used by healthcare workers (HCW) performing nasopharyngeal (NP) or oropharyngeal (OP) swabs on patients with suspected or confirmed COVID-19?
section_content: Health care workers collecting NP and OP swab specimens from suspected or
confirmed COVID-19 patients should be well-trained on the procedure and should
wear a clean, non-sterile, long-sleeve gown, a medical mask, eye protection
(i.e., googles or face shield), and gloves. Procedure should be conducted in a
separate/isolation room, and during NP specimen collection health care workers
should request the patients to cover their mouth with a medical mask or
tissue. Although collection of NP and OP swabs have the potential to induce
fits of coughing from the patient undergoing the procedure, there is no
currently available evidence that cough generated via NP/OP specimen
collection leads to increased risk of COVID-19 transmission via aerosols.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
This answer relates to taking COVID-19 specimen, not for general waste by patients.
This response goes into a lot of detail about how health care workers should dispose of waste and that's what the question wanted to know. This is a very good answer in my opinion

section_headers: Can disposable medical face masks be sterilized and reused?
section_content: No. Disposable medical face masks are intended for a single use only. After
use they should be removed using appropriate techniques (i.e. do no touch the
front, remove by pulling the elastic ear straps or laces from behind) and
disposed of immediately in an infectious waste bin with a lid, followed by
hand hygiene.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
This answer is relevant only to PPE and does not answer the question of handling waste for patients.
This response vaguely touches on waste disposal but only in a sense of single use medical masks. This is too specific where the question was going for general waste disposal to this misses the mark

suspected or confirmed 2019-nCoV infection should be disposed of as infectious
waste.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
This answer, while relevant, is not very rich with much information.
This response is pretty good as it links to information on how to dispose of infectious waste which is what the question was about. Could have a little more detail in the answer itself
