What are the lessons that could be learnt from working at the COVID-19 quarantine zones?

Doctor's Answer

I think the most important lesson that we can pick up from here is that the disease is really contagious. It’s no joke. Our government is scared, I mean many governments are scared, and there is a reason for them to be scared. I think the contagiousness of the disease is something that is more apparent when you are actually there, when you are seeing sick patients. I think that is something that has brought it home. Because sometimes, when we are in our circuit breaker and we only go out to buy food and come back, you think that it is so troublesome (but you don’t see the full extent of it). So now that the government is going to do mass community testing, there have been talks about it, and I think that would be a good thing. We all as dentists, we can even participate in these mass community swabbing.
