@Donna54228270 @kanyon562@vicderbyshire Yes for aerosol generating procedures (most dental procedures)we’ve been advised to have FFP3 or FFP2 masks which have been fit tested. So imagine all dental practices trying to source these at the moment, then finding someone able to fit test them. Unrealistic in a week.
St John volunteers, like Alex, are working alongside the NHS in the fight against #COVID19.

Tomorrow dentists and their teams head back to work, many with more questions than answers on #COVID19
