The outbreak of COVID-19 associated with West End Dental is expected to be declared over later this week following a successful multi-agency inspection on Monday, June 7.

A spokesperson for the incident management team said: “We are grateful to the management and staff for cooperating with the inspectors. The IMT can now assure the public and patients that appropriate precautions and safety measures are in place at the practice to prevent an outbreak happening again. The IMT supported lifting the Direction of Notice which had instructed the practice to close.

“A further IMT meeting is scheduled for Thursday this week to review the situation 14 days since the practice was last open. In the event of no further cases coming to light by then the outbreak will be declared over.

“NHS Grampian will continue to work with the practice management to provide ongoing support and assurance.”
