Title: Corona in your Country
Post by: GJ on March 18, 2020, 08:57:04 AM

Curious to hear from those of you in Europe/Italy.
Is it as bad as they say?

Has anyone had their surgery canceled?

Exams were cancelled at every german university.
Orthodontists recommended to cancel appointment if it is not necessary. I don't know about surgeries.

Interesting.
This morning, my general dentist canceled all cleanings (I was due in a few weeks). They reopen mid April as of now.

Although I'm not in Italy, Italy is in dire straits due to the coronavirus. The news says there is a bigger problem there than even in China as of present. Last I checked, Italy was on lock down. Many Dental Associations are suggesting dentists cancel all non-essential dental procedures which is also be the case with elective procedures of which maxfax surgeries discussed on this board would be considered.

My orthodontist closed her office until mid april.... I was so happy, because today my insurance said that I could begin with the treatment.
