Over the weekend, Governor Inslee announced new restrictions on social gatherings and other activities for the next four weeks. The Washington State Dental Association was made aware of these restrictions and has received direct confirmation from the Governor’s Office that the restrictions announced do NOT place any new limits on dental care or health care delivery more broadly.
Based upon conversations to date, delivery of preventive care and care that, if delayed, would result in patient harm will continue to be permitted and strongly encouraged in the updated proclamation. Dental and medical care organizations will continue to advocate for the continuation of health care delivery consistent with what is currently allowed under Proclamation 20.24.
Because our purpose is to partner with you to achieve and maintain your good health, we plan to continue with care and will look to implement additional safety precautions where possible. We will continue to share timely COVID related updates as the situation develops in the coming weeks.
