Response to COVID-19

Our office has always practiced standard precautions, which means that we have practiced infection control as though COVID-19 was always present. On June 11, 2021 Governor Pritzker declared that the state could enter Phase 5 which means no COVID restrictions. Because our office is a healthcare office, we will continue as though it is still a Phase 3 or 4. A true Phase 5 for this office is pending. Not all patients have decided to vaccinate, so the risk remains. Herd immunity at 70% has not been achieved for the state. At the same time, based on the Emergency Use Authorization for COVID vaccines, our staff is 100% vaccinated.

If you have a dental question, please contact me at: office@glenview-dmd.com. In the meantime, please practice the pandemic safety precautions that are meant to serve us all. Please vaccinate if you have not. If you are waiting for FDA vaccine approval, it occured for the Pfizer vaccine on AUG 24, 2021. Other vaccine approval is pending. In the meantime, please practice the three “w’s” of Mayor Lightfoot, wait, wash and wear. Wait, the three foot distance. Wash your hands and wear face masks. Thank you for your trust and confidence.
