Hands, face, space, fresh air

Last March the government introduced the “Hands, face, space, fresh air” guidance to encourage people to wash their hands, cover their face, keep a safe distance from others and meet in fresh air, all in an effort to move towards the next step in easing restrictions safely. Although lockdown restrictions have been lifted to an extent, the government is still advising us to be cautious and it’s likely that the legacy of covid guidance will continue for some time to come.

So, how can you implement these messages into your dental practice?

Hands

Hand hygiene has always been an important part of infection control in practice, but this doesn’t mean that you can’t implement further measures to ensure that disease transmission is minimised as much as possible.
