Danbury Free Dental Clinic Cancelled Over Coronavirus

DANBURY, CT — A free dental clinic scheduled for March 20-21 at the Western Connecticut State University's O'Neill Center has been postponed "out of abundant caution" due to the new coronavirus, organizers said in a statement released Saturday.

The clinic is held annually in Connecticut and made possible by the efforts of The Connecticut Foundation for Dental Outreach.

CFDO organizers said they are in the process of identifying a date to reschedule the free clinic.

The decision was made one day following the news that a Danbury and Norwalk Hospital employee from New York tested positive for COVID-19, and the same day that a New Rochelle doctor who works in Connecticut tested positive for the virus.
