Relax. Unless your hands were contaminated (which they probably were not) you will remain perfectly healthy.

Agree with Dr. Davantzis. Please remember that surface contamination is a minor mode of transmission for COVID 19 and most medical/ dental facilities in this country make an effort to maintain a high level of cleanliness.
