On March 12, 2020, Vancouver Coastal Health notified attendees of the conference about a possible exposure to COVID-19 on March 6, 2020. Vancouver Coastal Health stated at that time that those who attended should self-monitor themselves for any symptoms for 14 days. To date no 123Dentist staff nor guests have communicated that they our showing any symptoms of the virus nor have tested positive for the virus.
Yesterday, the Provincial Health Officer announced that there are now four confirmed cases of COVID-19 from people who attended the conference. None of these have been any of our staff, partners or guests. It was stated on the news broadcast today that anyone who attended should self-isolate for fourteen days. After careful and further consideration we are encouraging all staff and guests who attended the Pacific Dental Conference with us to self isolate until Monday, March 23, 2020. We thank you for your patience during this difficult time and it is during these times that we reflect on what matters the most. Be safe and take care of one another everyone!
Thank you,
Dr. Amin Shivji, CEO
