Hi noted above history.
As the cases of covid pandemic is increasing day by day .And the process of unlock has already begun .
As long as you wear the mask ,maintain the social distancing and hand and respiratory hygiene and as you mentioned the dentist has wear a PPT then very less chances to get contracting.
The risk or fear is getting is everywhere as you step out of your home.
