From MGCQ to GCQ, Tarlac province will increase its community quarantine measures from August 12 to 31, 2021 as the country faces again alarming numbers of COVID-19 cases brought by the new Delta variant.
In response to this call, the clinic also enhanced its countermeasure protocols within its working environment. We doubled all our filtering systems as well as our personal protective equipages. We also enhanced our sterilization process in all our dental apparatus including the sanitation of our daily waste disposals.
As one of the essential establishments of the city, we adhere to the provision of the government under the Tarlac Provincial Regulation Number 11, Series of 2021 dated August 10, 2021 in the fight against the long termed pandemic by knowing the limitations of our operations in alignment to the regulations set by the term General Community Quarantine (GCQ):
- On appointments, patients below 21 and those who are 60 and above, those with immunodeficiency, comorbidities, or other health risks, and pregnant women, unless assessed by our dentist that the patient needs immediate dental care attention, are not allowed to visit the clinic on the duration of the quarantine.
- On gatherings, patients are not allowed to bring companions with them to stay in the clinic unless they are PWD that need assistance since minors and elders are not also not allowed to go out from their houses during GCQ.
- On clinic hours, treatment time is limited only to at least one (1) hour per patient. This is to give ample time for the staff to conduct area sanitation before and after the start of ever treatment. Likewise, clinic hours remains the same Mondays to Saturdays, 9am to 5pm.
In as much as we want to maximize our accommodation for everyone, it is more important to prioritize safety for everyone. May God bless us in all our endeavors. The Lord be glorified at all times.
