Abstract
Coronavirus disease 2019 or coronavirus disease, described as a pandemic recently, is a cumulation of respiratory disorders transmitted mainly through droplets from an infected person. Aerosols produced during various dental procedures can cause a high risk of transmission. This report describes measures that can be adopted by oral health-care personnel to minimize the risk of cross-contamination in clinical practice during this severe acute respiratory syndrome corona virus 2 pandemic.
