We are no longer requiring patients to provide us the proof of vaccination.

However, if you have symptoms or exposed to Coronavirus please let us know and reschedule your appointment.
If you really wish to get treatment even you have symptoms, bringing ‘Negative’ resulted in PCR test will allow you to receive treatment.
Also, if you have an antigen test kit, you may bring them and will be able to receive treatment after we have performed the test.
In order to resume treatment, please provide us the proof of ‘Negative’ resulted in PCR or bring an antigen test kit.
We have belief on our patients to communicate with us to protect our organization and community.
Thank you for cooperating with our policy.

Double Mask to protect and be secure from COVID
Recent experiment published from CDC shows which mask modification could improve fit of masks and reduce exposure of the virus to reduce COVID transmission and exposure.
Experiments were done in three different scenarios for each modification:
① No Mask Speaker (Source) / Mask Listener (Receiver)
② Mask Speaker / No Mask Listener
③ Mask Speaker / Mask Listener
There were three modifications in this experiment (Picture) and the percentage from the result is how much you are secure as a listener (Receiver)
A. Unknotted medical procedure mask
①. No Mask Speaker / Mask Listener → 7.5%
②. Mask Speaker / No Mask Listener → 41.3%
③. Mask Speaker / Mask Listener → 84.3%
B. Double Masking (Cloth mask over a medical procedure mask)
①. No Mask Speaker / Mask Listener → 83%
②. Mask Speaker / No Mask Listener → 82.2%
③. Mask Speaker / Mask Listener → 96.4%
C. Knotted and Tucked masks
(Knotting the ear loops of a medical procedure mask where they attach to the mask’s edges and then tucking in the flattening the extra material close to the face)
①. No Mask Speaker / Mask Listener → 64.5%
②. Mask Speaker / No Mask Listener →62.9%
③. Mask Speaker / Mask Listener →95.9%
Underline with the fact that wearing a mask as a both speaker and listener is necessary and recommended, the experiment shows double masking is the best way to be secured from virus with 96.4%. Knotted and tucked masks came next with 95.9% secure. If you have a cloth mask and medical procedure masks, please make sure you are cleaning or changing it often. And hanging the mask when you are not using them is recommended because it can be well ventilated.
In short, double masking can secure yourself and other from virus with the highest percentage. So if you have a cloth mask and medical mask, make sure you use both of them to protect and to be protected.
