Covid 19 February 2022

​




A few updates regarding Covid:
The latest Government guidance, updated in January 2022 with regard to close contact work can be found here: Government Guidance >

Please read the guidelines carefully to ensure you comply. As usual if you do not feel safe to return to face-to-face massage work, it is your perfect right not to do so.

Please note also this guidance from the GCMT (the Council for Soft Tissue Therapies):

• Given that the devolved assemblies are all taking different routes and timings in their respective announcements. It is incumbent of the GCMT to reiterate to Professional Associations that the recommendations for close contact services have not changed. As providers within the medical and paramedical sector, it is recommended that therapists continue to exercise caution and vigilance and maintain continued best practice of regular sanitisation, ventilation and a minimum standard of a type 11R face mask. It is expected that therapists should continue to risk assess individual clients/patients where the use of enhanced PPE would be appropriate. (GCMT, January 2022)
