The disposal of medical waste from COVID-19 has to undergo strict treatment protocols to ensure the virus does not spread in the process.

Wuhan City is the epicenter of the outbreak, and the large number of patients meant hospitals got overloaded with medical waste. Medical waste must be disposed of quickly to limit any possibility of viral spread. The city's firefighters took around 20 minutes to load all 30 barrels of waste onto their trucks.

The waste was then taken to a designated site where the environmental protection department handled the disposal process.
