zh-cn	2020年3月24日，日内瓦——随着新冠肺炎（COVID-19）疫情持续在全球蔓延及其对人类健康和经济的影响日益加剧，各国政府被敦促将包括医疗，家庭和其他危险废物在内的废物管理作为一项紧急且必不可少的公共服务，以最大程度地减少对健康和环境的潜在二次影响。 
en-us	Geneva, 24 March 2020 - With the corona virus disease (COVID-19) pandemic continuing to spread and its impacts upon human health and the economy intensifying day-by-day, governments are urged to treat waste management, including of medical, household and other hazardous waste, as an urgent and essential public service in order to minimise possible secondary impacts upon health and the environment. 

zh-cn	疫情爆发会产生许多其他类型的医疗废物和危险废物，包括受污染的口罩，手套和其他防护设备，以及大量未受污染、但被使用过的物品。
en-us	During such an outbreak, many types of additional medical and hazardous waste are generated, including infected masks, gloves and other protective equipment, together with a higher volume of non-infected items of the same nature. 

zh-cn	废物管理不善可能会对人类健康和环境造成无法预料的“连锁反应”。
en-us	Unsound management of this waste could cause unforeseen "knock-on" effects on human health and the environment. 

zh-cn	因此，对这些废物的安全处理和最终处置对于开展有效的应急响应至关重要。 
en-us	The safe handling, and final disposal of this waste is therefore a vital element in an effective emergency response. 

zh-cn	有效地管理生物医学和医疗废物需要适当的识别、收集、分离、储存、运输、处理和处置，以及包括消毒、人员保护和培训等其他重要方面。
en-us	Effective management of biomedical and health-care waste requires appropriate identification, collection, separation, storage, transportation, treatment and disposal, as well as important associated aspects including disinfection, personnel protection and training. 

zh-cn	《联合国巴塞尔公约》关于生物医学和医疗废物的无害环境管理的技术准则，包括废物管理的信息和实践方面，有助于当局将其对人类健康和环境的危害降至最低。 
en-us	The UN Basel Convention’s Technical Guidelines on the Environmentally Sound Management of Biomedical and Healthcare Wastes, includes information and practical aspects of waste management useful for authorities seeking to minimise hazards to human health and the environment.

en-us	The safe management of household waste is also likely to be critical during the COVID-19 emergency. 

zh-cn	医疗废物，例如受污染的口罩、手套、用过的或过期的药品以及其他物品，很容易与生活垃圾混合，但实际上应作为危险废物分开处理。
en-us	Medical waste such as contaminated masks, gloves, used or expired medicines, and other items can easily become mixed with domestic garbage, but should be treated as hazardous waste and disposed of separately. 

zh-cn	它们应与其他家庭垃圾分类存放，并由市政当局或废物管理运营者进行专业收集。
en-us	These should be separately stored from other household waste streams and collected by specialist municipality or waste management operators.

zh-cn	为了应对这一巨大且前所未有的挑战，我敦促各级的决策者们，不论是国际、国家还是市政，城市和地区级别，尽一切努力确保废物管理，让医疗和家庭来源的废物管理获得必要（实际上是优先）关注，以确保将这些潜在危险废物流对人类健康和环境的影响降至最低。”
en-us	In tackling this enormous and unprecedented challenge, I urge decision-makers at every level: international, nationally, and at municipal, city and district levels, to make every effort to ensure that waste management, including that from medical and household sources, is given the attention - indeed priority - it requires in order to ensure the minimization of impacts upon human health and the environment from these potentially hazardous waste streams."
