Studio 110 by Sophia 150333 Report post Posted May 16, 2020 (edited) I will following the beauty industry models. So phase 3. I have not yet fully decided what this be like for me yet. But screening will be extra tight, extra hygiene will be mandatory, the extra cleaning it will take longer and more effort between each visitor will require less volume which may affect my rates to increase( massage rates) There will be no kissing or mouth to body action. These are some ideas I have been working on. Will be different for sure. Edited May 16, 2020 by Studio 110 by Sophia 3 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Meaghan McLeod 179664 Report post Posted May 21, 2020 (edited) So, just to chime in. I wont be taking appointments. I personally feel the risks are too high for me. I'm not knocking anyone who chooses to open or continue, that is their choice. I was reading an article by the massage association about possible protocols. Masks and/or face shield, new clothing cover for each patient, no skin to skin contact (i.e. no hands only elbow) or gloves, 30 minutes in between patient to thoroughly disinfect area/practitioner. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/newfoundland-labrador/nl-massage-therapists-covid-1.5565948?__vfz=medium%3Dsharebar I'm trying to imagine how a provider (escort or MA), could implement safety protocols to keep herself and her clients safe. Unless I'm missing something, there isn't any way to return back to the way we saw clients pre-covid19. Somehow I doubt clients would be ok with a provider wearing PPE during an encounter. With no skin to skin contact. This industry is full of risks before covid. STD'S, STI'S, clients lying about their health status, providers lying about their health status, risky activities. Now the old risks are still there, but this new risk is so tricky to calculate, because it is a novel virus. Mutating, asymptomatic passing of virus. It has its own path of least resistance. If you want to pretend that because phase 3 is now open, somehow its now ok to open this industry, carefully think. We still wear masks, stay 2 meters away from others if wearing a mask is not feasible, wash hand frequently, don't touch our face etc. Why would anyone now say "phase 3 is open, so now we can contact our favorite provider"? I don't know, it puts pressure on those that have no option but to start seeing clients again. Hoping and praying they don't get sick or pass it onto their family. For me, its a hard no until I see the results of what happens to others. I don't like the idea of watching others be guinea pigs in a situation where we really don't know the answers, we can only guess. Educated guesses. If we were to ask our doctors, I know what the answer would be. It would be no. Think everyone before you rush out to enjoy phase 3. If you choose to see a provider, please follow her protocols. If it means she will wear PPE and ask you too as well, then do this. Don't try to put her in a position to jeopardize her health. Stay safe everyone.

Meaghan McLeod 179664 Report post Posted May 21, 2020 (edited) This is what phase 3 looks like. https://www2.gnb.ca/content/gnb/en/corporate/promo/covid-19/recovery.html#yellow Reopening of more businesses and activities after the ability to control transmission has been demonstrated. Subject to the Public Health and WorkSafeNB COVID-19 general guidance, the following activities are allowed: Family and friends bubble Gatherings with physical distancing of 50 or fewer Increase in elective surgeries and other non-emergency health care services Non-regulated health professionals/businesses Personal services businesses Swimming pools, saunas and waterparks Gyms, yoga and dance studios Rinks and indoor recreational facilities Pool halls and bowling alleys Low-contact team sports Other sectors to be determined More details on what is allowed during this level Family and friends bubble Your household bubble will be extended to all close friends and family that you would normally see on a regular basis. These will no longer be exclusive. Large gatherings beyond that circle would be discouraged. Gatherings with social distancing of 50 or fewer Public gatherings with social distancing of 50 or fewer are now allowed. This will make it possible for larger religious services, weddings and funerals to take place. The limit on gatherings will be reviewed on a regular basis according to risk based on the evolution of the situation in New Brunswick. Increase in elective surgeries and other non-emergency healthcare services Regional Health Authorities will increase service levels and occupancy within hospitals and clinics in the province. This will be done in a progressive manner to continue to ensure safety of patients and staff. Non-regulated health professionals/businesses Non-regulated health professionals will be allowed to resume in-person services if they can respect physical distancing measures, except when receiving services or brief exchanges where it cannot be avoided. They will be subject to the COVID-19 general guidance. Personal services businesses Personal service businesses (i.e. barbers, hair stylists, spas, estheticians, manicurists, pedicurist, tattoo artists etc.) will be allowed to resume in-person services if they can respect physical distancing measures, except when receiving services or brief exchanges where it cannot be avoided. They will be subject to Public Health and WorkSafe NB general guidance. Swimming pools, saunas, waterparks Swimming pools, saunas, waterparks and other similar venues may open if they can respect physical distancing measures except for brief exchanges when they cannot be avoided. They will also be subject to the COVID-19 general guidance. Gyms, yoga, gymnastics, and dance studios Gyms, yoga, gymnastics, dance studios and other similar venues may open if they can respect physical distancing measures except for brief exchanges when they cannot be avoided. They will also be subject to the COVID-19 general guidance. Rinks and indoor recreation facilities Rinks, indoor recreation facilities (i.e. climbing walls, escape rooms) and other similar venues may open if they can respect physical distancing measures except for brief exchanges when they cannot be avoided. They will also be subject to the COVID-19 general guidance. Pool halls and bowling alleys Pool halls and bowling alleys may open if they can respect physical distancing measures and sanitization practices for their equipment. They will also be subject to the COVID-19 general guidance. Low-contact team sports Sports activities may operate as per the guidance provided to them by their national or provincial organization, as long as they identify means to limit the number and intensity of close contacts during play. All provincial, regional or local leagues shall maintain operational plans to ensure compliance with this guidance. They will also be subject to the COVID-19 general guidance. All reasonable attempts shall be made to respect physical distancing measures as much as possible except brief contacts on or off the field, arenas, gyms, rinks, etc. Youth leagues will ensure that spectators at games are limited to one accompanying adult per child. Other sectors to be determined The reopening of casinos, amusement centres, bingo halls, arcades and cinemas, bars (without seating), large live performance venues, large public gatherings (i.e. festivals), overnight camps will be determined at a later date when additional evidence is available on the continued success of the province in managing a resurgence of the virus.

letsplay_57 3463 Report post Posted May 28, 2020 Everyone has their own thoughts on this...Yes we were fortunate here in NB....But I think the virus was here late Dec & Jan...Doctors called it "the upper respitatory cold" which I had @ Jan & lots of people I know....a lot of the symptoms were the same as Covid-19.... we all survived it back then. A lot of people are still concerned about it...things will get back to normal soon 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
