COVID-19 Update: Revised patient screening guidance document

The Ministry of Health has updated the Patient Screening Guidance Document to take into account a patient’s immunization status. The Ministry has also updated the Screening Tool for Workers.

Patients who are fully immunized, have no symptoms, have not tested positive for COVID-19 in the past 10 days and have not been told to self-isolate will screen negative. We have also updated our COVID-19 screening FAQs to be consistent with the revised Ministry document.

Screening must still be performed for all patients prior to dental appointments, regardless of immunization status.
