Since its outbreak, China responded quickly and has taken proactive public health measures to combat the disease including intensive surveillance, epidemiological investigations,active treatment of confirmed and suspected patients, andcut off the routes of transmission. However, the case countfrom the virus has soared. Concerning the outbreak of SARS-CoV-2, Who declared the disease as a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC),and it was named COVID-19.

Since late January 2020, the Chinese authorities recomended that people go to crowded places as little aspossible to avoid cross-infection. On the other hand, people’s fear of COVID-19, because of its novel and rapid transmission, make them reluctant to go to public places including medical and dental hospitals.
