Question: How should healthcare medical waste be handled if used by a COVID-19 patient?

Answer passage (source: CDC):
page_title: Clinical Questions about COVID-19: Questions and Answers
section_headers: Waste Management
Should medical waste or general waste from healthcare facilities treating PUIs and patients with confirmed COVID-19 be handled any differently or need any additional disinfection?
section_content: Medical waste (trash) coming from healthcare facilities treating COVID-2019
patients is no different than waste coming from facilities without COVID-19
patients. CDC’s guidance states that management of laundry, food service
utensils, and medical waste should be performed in accordance with routine
procedures. There is no evidence to suggest that facility waste needs any
additional disinfection.
More guidance about environmental infection control is available in section 7
of CDC’s Interim Infection Prevention and Control
Recommendations for Patients with Confirmed COVID-19 or Persons Under
Investigation for COVID-19 in Healthcare Settings.

What do waste management companies need to know about wastewater and sewage coming from a healthcare facility or community setting with either a known COVID-19 patient or person under investigation (PUI)?
section_content: Waste generated in the care of PUIs or patients with confirmed COVID-19 does
not present additional considerations for wastewater disinfection in the
United States. Coronaviruses are susceptible to the same disinfection
conditions in community and healthcare settings as other viruses, so current
disinfection conditions in wastewater treatment facilities are expected to be
sufficient. This includes conditions for practices such as oxidation with
hypochlorite (i.e., chlorine bleach) and peracetic acid, as well as
inactivation using UV irradiation.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
Gives the reason why waste does not need to be handled differently than any other waste in a patient room and also gives how it should be handled.
Says that coronavirus waste doesn't pose an additional risk, but doesn't address waste outside of wastewater.

Do wastewater and sewage workers need any additional protection when handling untreated waste from healthcare or community setting with either a known COVID-19 patient or PUI?
section_content: Wastewater workers should use standard practices including basic hygiene
precautions and
wear the recommended
PPE as
prescribed for their current work tasks when handling untreated waste. There
is no evidence to suggest that employees of wastewater plants need any
additional protections in relation to COVID-19.
