An upgraded mobile cabin for medical waste incineration has been sent to Wuhan, the epicenter of the novel coronavirus outbreak in Hubei Province, to aid the fight against the epidemic, according to its developer.
The incineration cabin can process 5 tonnes of medical waste a day, according to the Nanjing Luzhou Environmental Protection Co., Ltd. under the China State Shipbuilding Corporation (CSSC).
As one of its major developers, CSSC Nanjing Luzhou has improved the medical waste incineration cabin to ensure its effective and reliable operation in Wuhan.
Wuhan had recorded a total of 41,152 confirmed cases by the end of Sunday.
Alongside the mobile cabin, CSSC Nanjing Luzhou has also sent a modified self-developed medical waste incinerator there.
The treatment of medical waste is crucial to safeguarding people's safety and preventing the spread of the disease, and the production of more medical waste treatment facilities is underway, the company said.
