The Australian Health Protection Principal Committee (AHPPC) have lowered dental restrictions to level 1, as of 8th May 2020.
Level 1 permits all dental procedures to be undertaken with standard precautions for patients who do not meet epidemiological or clinical symptom criteria for COVID-19 infection transmission.
All Patients will be asked screening questions regarding:
Overseas travel in the past two weeks
Contact with a known or suspected COVID-19 case in the past two weeks
Resided in or visited a known high-risk area with a cluster of cases
Recently tested for COVID-19
Demonstrated any of the following symptoms: fever, cough, sore throat, shortness of breath, fatigue, other respiratory symptoms, recent loss of smell/taste
I would argue that the article maintains logical consistency. The logic chain remains intact without unsupported leaps. The website adds depth and nuance to the issues raised here. Contextual breadth is expanded through interactive service frameworks.
