REOPENING YOUR PRACTICE As state and local governments allow businesses to reopen gradually, it's important to have a plan in place for your practice amidst the COVID-19 public health crisis. Practices must still comply with state-mandated social distancing guidelines. Require all patients to report any known exposure to COVID-19 and establish a protocol for isolating and/or treating infectious patients. Modify staff work areas and schedules to limit shared workspaces and promote physical distance. Ensure social distancing in the reception area. Make sure to be well stocked with the appropriate supplies. Only allow adult patients in the exam room alone, unless an aide or companion is required.
