Tenth Coronavirus Update |
I want to thank all of you for working so hard as Dental Healthcare Providers and keeping us in Phase 3! Maybe some caveats, but one step backward only make MSDS’s clients push two steps forward!! I want all of you to understand, each state is different now. So when WHO Makes a statement, it means throughout the world they are looking at the highest areas affected. All National Agencies are the same. So who do we follow? Who cites you is the Answer. The Board of Dentistry and OSHA. Even OSHA says to look at your local Health Dept. They know they have to look at the Nations (worse case) areas. Dental Healthcare Providers – Most have malpractice insurance. Everyone I’ve spoken to tells me that your malpractice will answer questions that you have without raising your fees. So don’t forget about asking them any concerns you have. You don’t have to just listen to MSDS. After reviewing all the documents from OSHA. And I have reviewed the newest VDA and ADA documents. My suggestion? Review OSHA. My clients should have everything they need from these newsletters to have their protocol together. Just don’t forget to take pictures of your office in Covid-19 time! Take pictures of staff in PPE, Fit testing pictures. Charting: quote the patients! We do not know what tomorrow will bring. But if any issue arises, the proof is in your pictures and your documentations. Then get all the screening docs. Policies, etc. throw it all in a binder neatly, and save it on your computer. it will be hard for an ex-staff or patient to say you weren’t in compliance if you have documentation with pictures. Finally; You are all DENTAL HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS. Own this!! If not, we will be in this same situation next time. You can’t blame the governors or FEMA if we call ourselves dental. You must add Healthcare Providers! Enjoy the current newsletter. Everyone has worked hard at submitting information and Saba has worked even harder putting it all to gather. |
If you live in one of these states and travel, you must self-quarantine (check out the list) As July 4 approaches and more state economies open up, many Americans may want to get on the road following the months of pandemic lockdowns. Many are already driving more, according to recent Apple Mobility Trends reports.While worries persist over the safety of traveling by plane, domestic road trips may be a good alternative. If you’re seeking a change of scenery or want to see out-of-town family or friends, not every state is prepared to accept you with arms wide open.Seventeen states have some kind of restrictions on traveling to their states, and there’s often an extra layer of caution for people traveling from COVID-19 hotbeds. Before you take to the open road, check to see if your destination has restrictions that could alter or derail your plans.

Infectious Disease Plan This is a great sample of an Infections Disease Plan. Some of my clients wanted some help in designing one. This is prior to COVID, but the information is very valuable if you want to write one. The only issue is that everything changes every 3 weeks. Once Covid-19 is completed, if there is still a need and the VDA, ADA, CDC or OSHA has not completed an Infectious Disease Plan, I will take a swing at it for my clients. Infectious Disease Emergency Response (IDER) PlanInfectious disease emergencies are circumstances caused by biological agents, including organisms such as bacteria, viruses, or toxins with the potential for significant illness or death in the population. The Infectious Disease Emergencies Response (IDER) Plan may be used in situations that include naturally occurring outbreaks (e.g., measles, mumps, meningococcal disease), emerging infectious diseases (e.g., SARS, pandemic influenza), and bioterrorism.The San Francisco Infectious Disease Emergency Response (IDER) Plan is composed of 3 parts:IDER Core Plan. The Core Plan provides guidance to all components of the response and is divided into modules, or chapters, that are based on the organizational chart. The use of modules provides responders with the information they need in short segments (they do not need to read the entire plan to begin implementation); allows for flexibility in response by allowing only required components to be activated without disrupting the flow of the plan; and, provides each module with clear information on their purpose, implementation approach, staffing needs, reporting, and available resources.Situation Specific Annexes. The 4 Annexes are designed to supplement the Core Plan with specific guidance on how to respond to particular events. The content in each Annex should be used in tandem with the general information in the Core Plan.Appendices. The Appendices contain reference material to assist in the response. Examples of appendix items include maps, pre-written Health Alerts, protocols, forms, reference materials, and equipment instructions. The IDER Plan is compliant with the State Emergency Management System (SEMS) and the National Incident Management System (NIMS) and is based on the Incident Command System (ICS).

This is a great website. I am showing just one of the many forms they have available. This is a great website for additional help with your Dental Healthcare Providers Liability. They really look at OSHA and the rest to come up with their material, which is great! DENTAL TEAM PREPARATION AND SCREENING All team members answer COVID-19 screening questions and have their temperatures taken with a contactless thermometer. NOTE: ≤100.0 ̊F for DHCP. Results are recorded daily. See Employee Screening Log for COVID-19 in the Resources and Tools section of this document. YES: N/A: Source: ALL DHCP who show signs and symptoms of COVID-19 are isolated from others before being sent home and referred to the medical providers or emergent care. Symptomatic healthcare workers are at high priority for COVID-19 testing. YES: N/A: Source: ALL Pregnant personnel is instructed to: Seek and follow medical guidance regarding work. YES N/A Source: CDC, ADA, ADHA Avoid people who are sick or who have been exposed to the virus. YES N/A Source: CDC, ADA, ADHA Consider limiting exposure to suspected or confirmed COVID-19 patients especially during higher risk exposures (aerosol-generating procedures). YES: N/A: Source: CDC, ADA, ADHA PRACTICE TIPS For DHCP who are 65 years or older, or immunocompromised and may be at higher risk for COVID-19 disease consider obtaining a medical evaluation before returning to work. Every member of the dental team should receive the seasonal influenza vaccine.

As a dental community, we are stronger together. That’s why the American Dental Association continues to work with your state and local dental societies to help secure PPE through your governors’ offices and state/local EMA agencies. ADA also continues close coordination with the national FEMA agency to get PPE appropriated directly for you. We know PPE remains difficult to obtain in many areas, so we are offering PPE to our members in your state. FEMA has granted ADA an additional allotment of 3M-made KN95 masks, as well as Level 1 non-surgical polyester Isolation Gowns. You may request one or both of these by ordering online at the link below. Masks will be shipped in packs of 50. Masks currently in stock are 3M-made KN95 masks (model 9502+) and are FDA and NIOSH approved. These masks have headbands, not ear loops, making them more comfortable for most. The reimbursement fee* for masks will be $26.50. Gowns will be sent in separate packs of 25. Each pack will include a variety of sizes from Small – XXLarge. These gowns are washable/ reusable and are supplied during the COVID-19 pandemic subject to FDA docket 2020-D-1138. The reimbursement fee for gowns will be $31.25. To request your PPE, please complete this registration form. Your ADA number is: 125860610 You will be asked to do the following:Enter your ADA number, Your ADA number is 125860610 (whether or not you are currently a member) and your Last Name.Confirm your information (pay close attention to the shipping address.)Confirm your request to receive an allotment of KN95 masks.Confirm your request to receive an allotment of gowns.Enter your payment information for your reimbursement fee(s)*.We strongly encourage you to complete your request immediately, as supplies are limited. Orders will be processed in the order they are received. Once you complete your online request and pay the reimbursement fee(s), you will receive a confirmation email. Please allow up to 15 business days to receive your allotment. If an inventory is not available when you complete your request, you will be placed on a “waiting list” (backorder) and informed of such. ADA will then send your allotment if and when we receive more products from FEMA. If an additional inventory is not received, your reimbursement fee(s) will be reversed on your credit card. We wish we were able to send more PPE but hope this helps in the short term. Based on many conversations with manufacturers, distributors, and federal agencies, we hope to see the supply and demand imbalance of PPE for dental professionals improve over the summer and be rectified by September/October. We can’t do all of this without you! Thank you for your continued membership and support of the American Dental Association. Your membership supports these efforts and you can count on us to continue to advocate for you, your career, and the path forward. Link Source: Forwarded to MSDS from an ADA Member. |

Coronavirus Is Airborne, But That Doesn’t Mean You’re Always At Risk Viruses need liquid to survive and spread. Once outside the body, they must remain in a watery solution such as snot or saliva so they don’t dry-out and eventually disintegrate. Every time you cough, sneeze, talk or even breathe, your fluids are expelled as droplets, which stay in the air for a certain amount of time and can settle on surfaces before they evaporate.Experts disagree over whether or not the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus is airborne. The argument is central to health policy because if droplets can only travel two meters through the air before falling to the ground, for instance, it would help support the six-foot rule for physical distancing.As the size of a droplet influences how far it might fly, scientists also argue over the distinction between an ‘aerosol’ — a fine mist of liquid particles in the air — and a ‘droplet’. Some researchers think expiratory particles should be so tiny that anything wider than 0.005mm (five microns) is a droplet, while others believe 0.01mm is a better cut-off. The figure is arbitrary and the distinction is irrelevant to the average person, but it’s relevant to public health authorities: if a virus is carried via aerosols, you could conclude that it’s also ‘airborne’. Authorities like the World Health Organization and US Centers for Disease Control often send mixed messages because they want to be scientifically accurate while also giving unambiguous advice. That isn’t always possible though, as science can involve fuzzy concepts and the general public just wants a clear answer to a question like ‘Is Coronavirus airborne, Yes or No?’ Meanwhile, news outlets sit on the fence with headlines like “Coronavirus Isn’t Airborne – But It’s Definitely Borne By Air.”As a trained biologist and science communicator, I’m going to give you a clear statement: Yes, Coronavirus is airborne. That comes with an important caveat, which is that whether a virus remains in the air long enough to worry about will depend on the environment — your surroundings and people it contains. So how can you tell if an airborne virus poses a considerable risk to your health? One way is through some back-of-the-envelope calculations. Given that Coronavirus is airborne, we can estimate your risk of catching it (and possibly developing the disease) for various scenarios. Although several factors play a part in how long a virus can hang around in the air, the two key ones are:The boundary of the surroundings (B)The activity of people in the area (A)Both factors can be broken down further (surface area within your surroundings is influenced by furniture, for instance), but our aim is to keep things really simple, which is why we’ll score boundary (B) and activity (A) on a scale from 0 to 3.An open space effectively has zero boundaries (B=0), a large park or secluded beach is slightly enclosed (B=1), a supermarket or office building is more confined (B=2) and a crowded train carriage or hotel elevator is a closed box (B=3). The frequency of people passing through that area over time — its activity — will be proportional to how many individuals may be carrying COVID-19 (including potential asymptomatic cases), which in turn determines the amount of virus in the air and on contaminated surfaces. We’ll score activity on the same scale, with no people (A=0), a quiet area (A=1), normal activity (A=2), or a busy area (A=3).R = A x BWe can now calculate the relative risk (R) for visiting an area using the above formula. Multiplying scores for the boundary of your surroundings (B) by the activity within it (A), we get a total for its risk, which has a maximum value of 9 (a score of 10 would be reserved for extremely risky situations, such as those faced by health workers who are exposed to viruses on a daily basis). I’ve compiled a table with a few scenarios below. Performing a risk calculation is a practical approach to making objective decisions on behavior, like whether you should wear a face mask outside. Unlike governments, which often shirk responsibility and expect citizens to use subjective ‘common sense’ (whatever that means), the risk score doesn’t lie and is less open to interpretation.If you think a scenario with R greater than 6 is too high, you might decide not to take the risk. When I go running through green spaces with my dog, for instance, it’s not really necessary to wear a mask because R = 0 (1 x 0) most of the time — we only need to be careful when approaching another jogger to avoid crossing paths. On the other hand, I’ll put on a mask before entering my local convenience store because it has a high footfall and the aisles are narrow (3 x 2 = 6). While public health authorities like the WHO and CDC give ambiguous and contradictory guidelines, scientists continue to test the extent to which Coronavirus is airborne: studies of hospital rooms containing patients with COVID-19 have found traces of the virus in air samples, albeit at very low levels. Such research usually involves detecting genetic material, which is unreliable because the virus may be missing the outer shield and spike proteins that enable it to invade human cells. A shipwreck doesn’t count as a seaworthy vessel, and viral genes aren’t infectious on their own. Coronavirus can’t infect you without bodily fluids. Regardless of whether it’s carried in aerosols or droplets, both will spend time in the air.
