On December 3, 2020, the Board issued a final opinion and order amending its regulations on handling “potentially infectious medical waste” or “PIMW.” Specifically, the Board amended its definition of “Class 4 etiologic agent,” which bears on the definition of PIMW. The amendments add four viral agents to the “Class 4 etiologic agent” definition: Guanarito virus; Sabia; Ebola virus; and Equine Morbillivurs. The amendments also reflect non-substantive changes suggested by the Joint Committee on Administrative Rules.
