Call.: Call to find out if they are open. Some providers are working by telemedicine. I know that my dentist is not seeing patients yet. Most facilities that have opened back up or that have remained open are taking precautions to account for COVID 19.

Exactly the opposite: you are better off at a health care provider than just going about your routine activities. Health care providers have installed extreme measures to negate risk. The people you deal with on a regular basis are, at most, wearing a mask and limiting contact. Limiting, not eliminating. If you are concerned, call the provider's office and discuss your concerns.
