How I run my clinic in the age of COVID-19

Before any patient arrives, I disinfect any surface they might touch such as door handles, bathroom fixtures and the like. I wear a surgical mask for patients without symptoms and I have a respirator for those that do. I ask my patients to wear a mask if they have one and I can give them one if they don’t. I take everyone’s temperature. Of course I wash my hands regularly with soap and water and use hand sanitizer as well. I would wear a glove but I have only one hand that works (from a stroke) and it is impossible to put a glove on my good hand by myself. I can do acupuncture with one hand, I’m just a little slower. I have an ozone and ion air cleaner I can use as well. It forces any water droplets to fall to the ground. I disinfect all the surfaces between patients as well. I am not that busy during this crisis so it is not that hard to do.
