Is solid waste from rooms where clinically stable PUIs (patients that have no bleeding, vomiting, diarrhea, etc.) are housed treated as medical waste or regular solid waste?
Because many body fluids, including sweat, tears, and urine, are infectious, the waste generated in the care of confirmed patients should be handled as contaminated and therefore Category A waste until inactivated or incinerated.
