The Florida Dental Association (FDA) has developed a toolkit for members whose practices are managing exposure to COVID-19. It can be found on the Practice Resources & Forms webpage and includes resources such as:
 

• Suggested language and techniques for communicating with staff members
• Talking points for communicating with patients
• ADA’s What to Do if Someone on Your Staff Tests Positive for COVID-19
• ADA’s COVID-19 Hazard Assessment and Hazard Assessment Checklist

Also, on the FDA website under the Human Resources FAQs, you can find answers to such questions as, “Can I require my staff be tested for COVID-19?” The answer is yes. You can require a staff member to get tested, but you should ensure that the test is accurate and reliable. 

A new addition to the HR FAQs this week is Florida-specific information that fully answers the question, “Can I require employees to be vaccinated?”
