The California Dental Association released the top five most frequently asked questions by its member dentists regarding COVID-19 exposure.
Top five COVID-19 questions, per recent calls to CDA Practice Support:
1. What are the quarantine requirements for a dentist or staff who has tested positive for COVID-19 or has been exposed to a COVID-19-positive individual, either inside or outside of the dental practice?
2. Do I need to pay my staff during quarantine and for how long?
3. When is it safe to treat a patient who was diagnosed with COVID-19 (with or without symptoms) or who had close contact with an individual with COVID-19 (with or without symptoms)?
4. Under what circumstances would I need to close my practice due to COVID-19 exposures or an outbreak?
5. What do we tell patients if there's been a possible close-contact exposure?
