Based on Manitoba’s latest update on the phased reopening of the province’s economy during the coronavirus pandemic, Manitoba dentists are allowed to open their practices on Monday, but they’re not doing so without some anxiety.
Dr. Alan Grant of Kildonan Place Dental Centre in Winnipeg told 680 CJOB the reopening is “bittersweet.” “I’m really happy to be getting ready to open, but I’m kind of not quite there yet, because of lack of protective equipment, and just functional changes we have to do with the office to make it safe for both the staff and patients,” he said. “I’m happy that the premier is opening us up, but I’m hoping it’s not too soon because we don’t have the support for PPEs (personal protective equipment) just yet.” Grant
