Until a vaccine is developed, the only thing we can do is protect ourselves from infection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To face phase 2, the phase of reopening and gradually returning to normal, we have therefore decided to put in place strategies aimed at keeping COVID-19 as far away from our clinic as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The goal we have set ourselves is \u003Cstrong>maximum protection for everyone\u003C\u002Fstrong>: first and foremost our patients, but of course our team as well.

Since the COVID-19 emergency began, \u003Cstrong>we have paid great attention to the air we breathe at COBE\u003C\u002Fstrong> and taken several initiatives.

We will be happy to clarify anything about the documents, either by phone (to speed things up at the clinic) or at your appointment.\u003Cbr>\n\u003Cstrong>When you arrive at the clinic\u003C\u002Fstrong>, we will ask our patients to put on the protective equipment we provide (shoe covers and a face mask) and to clean their hands; we will check that nothing stated in the forms has changed and take their temperature before showing them to the waiting room. We will ask you to leave coats and jackets in the area provided. To respect the necessary social distancing rules, strict punctuality will be required. For the same reasons, we ask our patients, where possible, not to bring anyone with them.\u003Cbr>\n\u003Cstrong>At the time of treatment\u003C\u002Fstrong>, the patient will be taken to the treatment room and asked to put personal belongings (bags, electronic devices and so on) in a dedicated area to avoid any contamination. You will be asked to rinse twice with two different mouthwashes to disinfect the mouth before the treatment or examination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch2>Our team\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\u003Cp>For our doctors and dental assistants, the measures include the use of \u003Cstrong>Personal Protective Equipment\u003C\u002Fstrong> appropriate to the type of procedure being carried out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Our whole team will carry out a self-assessment every day before coming to the clinic and will take the greatest care in every single procedure, \u003Cstrong>to keep the virus out of the COBE clinic\u003C\u002Fstrong>.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To guarantee maximum safety, we will have to significantly shorten the time we spend welcoming our patients and saying goodbye.
