Hello! When at the doctor’s office, it’s important to take measures that will reduce exposure to germs. Some examples are using a paper towel to turn off the bathroom faucet, using a tissue for the elevator buttons and door handles. Wearing a N95 mask is optional in most offices today, but I would recommend it in some healthcare settings. Below are some links to CDC resources on infection control measures: https://www.cdc.gov/infection-control/about/index.html
