NSW Government has extended the stay-at-home orders across all of Greater Sydney until midnight Friday 9, July. NSW Health have advised that providing medical care (including dental care) to the community is considered an essential service for leaving home under stay at home orders.
In response to this, the mandate does not require the closure of our practices and we still are operating under Level 1 dental restrictions. Lifestyle Orthodontics have heightened alert but will remain open for all appointments during this lockdown period. As information from NSW Health is constantly evolving we will continue to update you during this period if needed.
It is important that we all play our part in preventing the further spread of COVID-19. So we wanted to highlight some of our ongoing COVID-Safe measures we are taking to protect our community:
CHECK IN All patients are only allowed to bring a maximum of one support person.
FACE MASKS It is mandatory to wear face masks inside our clinic as per NSW government recommendations.
COVID-19 SCREENING We will continue screening every patient and visitor that comes through the practice. Screening questions on arrival ensures we are not treating anyone who is at risk of COVID-19 infections.
If you have any COVID symptoms; have been to an exposure venue; and/or have been identified as a close contact of a confirmed COVID case, please contact us immediately to reschedule your appointment.
CLEANLINESS & HYGIENE Hygiene has always been a main priority across our practices even before the pandemic struck. We have continued our usual high standards of infection control with decontamination of the clinic after each patient. Customer service areas are also decontaminated throughout the day.
