Welcome to Alert Level 1, NZ!
We're very excited and very grateful, and want to thank all of you for playing your part. Our efforts so far have proven successful, and we're confident that any new COVID-19 cases will be dealt with accordingly.
Businesses operate more or less normally during Alert Level 1. However, there are a few restrictions and procedures in place that will affect the services we provide:
Firstly, our team will still be asking COVID-19-related questions. For example, we need to know about your recent travel history, and check if you're having any flu-like symptoms. If you've recently travelled to a high-risk area or are feeling unwell, your appointment may be postponed as our office is not equipped with the surgical theatre provisions needed to treat high-risk patients. Secondly, if you're over 70 years old or are health-compromised, the New Zealand Dental Council recommends that we postpone any elective treatment until all Alert Level restrictions are removed.
We understand that this is an inconvenience, but we all must do our part to protect our little nation (the only nation that has effectively eradicated the pandemic crippling the globe).
We look forward to seeing you soon for all your dental care needs.
Regards,
Dr Jeff Joy – DDS
