[QUOTE="rkm rdt, post: 317513, member: 83"] While the World Health Organization (WHO) declared COVID-19 a pandemic, the degree to which this pandemic affects each region in Canada varies immensely; in all circumstances, dentists take infection prevention and control practices seriously and understand their social responsibility to contain the spread of COVID-19. While science provides solid recommendations about what dentists should do, advice needs to reflect provincial as well as local contexts. Therefore, the Canadian Dental Association suggests that: [B]Dentists[/B]: Given the rapidly evolving COVID-19 situation, dentists licensed to practise in Canada are asked to consult the website and communiqués of the dental regulatory body in their province/territory, as well as the website and communiqués of their provincial/territory dental association. [B]General Public[/B]: Canadians and people in Canada are asked to consult the public website and communiqués of their provincial/territory health authorities. So far it appears that provincial bodies are responsible for suggestive office closures. I think it's safe to assume the other provinces will follow suit " I know we are all "adults" here, but these threads could use less trolling. This thread in particular. " Feel free to offer some substantive information to this or any other thread . [/QUOTE]
