Question 1

What are your safety measures re: COVID-19?

Accepted Answer

Each patient needs to bring his/her own mask (optional). The practitioner will wear a mask during the session if the patient is more comfortable.  Handwashing/disinfectant gel for patient and practitioner before/after the appointment. There will be fewer appointments per day as surfaces will be cleaned/disinfected between each patient. One person per visit, or 1 parent accompanying a child. Obviously new linen for each patient. Required rescheduling of appointments if you (or someone you have been in contact with) have: fever, cough, sore throat, difficulty breathing, or if waiting for Covid test results. Payment is preferred by Interac or e-transfer. The receipt will be emailed.
