Many people have reached out regarding the safety of coming into the office. I want to reassure you that we have put in place the highest of standards in protecting our patients. We have expanded our hours to limit how many patients are in the office at one time. Everyone is screened and temp checked prior to being allowed into the office. Masks are mandatory. We place each patient directly into their own private treatment room. We ask for drivers or other family members to r...emain in their cars, rather than the office. We do allow caretakers to assist you, when necessary.We also allow for telemedicine visit, both by video and by telephone, if you prefer. I am seeing too many patients in the hospital, because they were afraid to come into the office. It is so much better for you to be seen in the office, rather than wait for a problem to become so bad that a hospitalization is required or the treatment program is more prolonged. We want to get you healthy and active as soon as possible! We ask you for your understanding as we need to keep everyone safe! My staff and I are always here for you! xo, Dr. Joan Oloff 408-356-2774 See more

Recently, I shared with you a phenomenon that has been called "Covid Toes." Here is a follow up: COVID toe lesions are not caused by the SARS-CoV-2 infection but by quarantine conditions, reports Dermatology Daily (June 26, 2020), a newsletter of the American Academy of Dermatology. It also indicates that Spanish researchers found that none of the patients affected by the condition tested positive for the virus, and the researchers suggested that the lesions were instead caused by people walking around barefoot at home for weeks while under lockdown. A Belgian study reached a similar conclusion, adding that the condition appeared to be most common in younger children.

This is a nice overview, based upon data, showing a "large reduction in risk of infection" with masks: https://www.medpagetoday.com/infectiousdisea/covid19/86812
