Additionally, most (admittedly not all, but most) dental offices I know have taken extra means already to mitigate this virus as best as possible from having UV-C lights installed in our HVAC air returns to in the treatment room hepa filtration units with onboard UV-C. We have even ordered an ULPA air filtration unit which guarantees filtration down to .8 microns - MUCH better than a HEPA filter. We limit the number of patients that can be seen to allow time for cleaning between them and follow the CDC, OSHA, VDA, ADA recommendations already like installing sneeze-guards at the front desk and routinely wiping down all high use surfaces. Adding more to do on top of these things will continue to overburden an already struggling system of businesses trying their best to get moving again. Please exempt dental office from this rule - most of it we have done since we opened our practices 20 years ago. Thank you.
