Bodyworkz & Covid-19
As we're navigating our way through the ongoing global pandemic and spread of the Covid-19 (corona) virus, we are trying to keep on top of the information released by the government to make sure our clients are kept as safe as we can.
We follow the Ministry of Health (MOH) guidelines and the World Health Organization for the most accurate and up-to-date information. (Links below.)
As of December the 3rd 2021, we're changing to a new Covid Protection Framework aka the Traffic Light system. Under this system, Bodyworkz are able to operate under both code Red & Orange, as businesses are no longer required to work from home (but may choose to do so). There are no restrictions at Code Green.
Once the new framework is in place there will be an increased risk of community transmission of COVID-19. It is our responsibility to provide a safe working environment for our people, as well as the people who will receive a massage from us.
As we are a close contact business that comes under the Health sector, we are required to provide vaccinated therapists for our services, by law.
As a mobile service that enters into workplaces (and conferences and events), we will always make sure that we follow the rules and guidelines set out by the company / place we're visiting. It is up to each workplace to make sure that these guidelines are made clear to the therapist that visits on the day.
Of course, by now we're used to scanning in via the Covid tracer app, and additional signing in, plus using hand gel and to social distance, so we expect this to be done by default.
Bodyworkz also have a Health & Safety policy in place that will be sent to each person who inquires about our services, or anyone using our services.
At Code Red and Orange the therapist will wear a mask when entering into the premises and when leaving. They will also wear a mask while greeting the client, and the client should in return wear a mask as well when entering your room (optional if workplace requirements differ on mask wearing). The therapist are not expected to keep the mask on while giving a massage, when the client is face down (in the face cradle). People sitting in the chairs do not have to wear masks.

The massage chair will be given a total wipe down with anti-bacterial wipes between each client, as will all surfaces that the client has been in contact with.
Due the turnaround of clients with 15 or 20-minute sessions, the therapists are unable to wash their hands between each client, so hand sanitizers will be used extensively before and after each client.
A word on vaccinations:
At Bodyworkz we do not demand that our therapists are double vaccinated, and leave it up to their own choice.
We do not discriminate at any level - race, age, religion, gender or medical orientation. Our focus is in having a group of awesome therapists doing a great job for our clients, and who love being a part of the Bodyworkz team.
However, we do keep a record of therapists with current vaccination passports as we understand that workplaces will be required to ask for this (at least for the next year to come) and we do take this seriously!
