Three DH dental clinics to be closed for disinfection
*****************************************************
| Clinic(s) | Closure date(s) | Case(s) involved |
| Li Po Chun Dental Clinic | February 25 |
|
| Tsuen Wan Dental Clinic | February 25 | A clerical staff member who last performed duties on February 23 |
| Pamela Youde Government Dental Clinic | February 25 | A dental officer who last performed duties on February 22 |
The above staff members wore appropriate personal protective equipment while performing duties.
The DH's Centre for Health Protection has initiated an epidemiological investigation. In view of the epidemic situation, the DH's clinics have stepped up infection control measures, including temperature screening for all visitors before clinic entry, conducting health declaration, limiting the number of accompanying carers and rescheduling the appointments of patients with higher transmission risk (e.g. persons subject to compulsory testing). During the epidemic, each service unit of the DH has been strictly implementing various disease prevention measures, which include providing employees with masks and other protective equipment, and stepping up the cleaning and sanitising measures of the clinics. All staff members are wearing masks at work and practising hand hygiene at all times. The DH is highly concerned about the COVID-19 situation and has reminded all staff again to maintain personal hygiene and be vigilant at all times. If feeling unwell, they should seek medical attention immediately.
