I am a dentist and we are now shut down for 3 weeks. Most states are advising dentists to shut down for 2-3 weeks. My big concern is aerosolizing the virus. Though PPEs are mostly effective, I do fear the awesome from the virus will stay airborne longer similar to if the virus actually becomes airborne. Even with perfect cleaning, what is the best way to approach this for patient safety and the safety of staff? This virus will be here for a long time and I know we will unknowingly encounter the virus at an increasing rate when we reopen. Any other thoughts about minimizing risk here?
