July 19th 202 New Government Guidelines   Dear Clients This week the Prime Minister announced that the plan going forward is to open up society, as agreed on the 19th July in  England.  It is important to note that he also mentioned that decisions made going forward will shift from being a state instructive to the responsibility of the individual themselves.  This  clearly means the onus is now back on us to make sensible decisions. My industry was one of the hardest hit and one of the last to re-open.  Given the nature of our close contact services, it is imperative to continue to mitigate risk as far a possible.  Not only for our safety, but help eliminate the factors that could lead to me having to self-isolate and my business having to close. Given the increase in daily cases, there is no doubt the pandemic is far from over and while many rules have become personal decisions as opposed to legal requirements, all the more reason a cautious approach is still recommended.  I have many vulnerable clients and their safety is paramount. The new Government Guidelines were published this week and I have performed a new Health and Safety assessment. For your reassurance – I have made the decision to continue to block out extra cleaning and sterilising time between every appointment (your promptness is much appreciated and then enables me to offer you the full treatment time). The room will continue to be ventilated and fogged between clients.  Interestingly since using my fogging machine, I have not suffered from hay fever this year or any of the usual colds/bugs…………… I will continue to wear a face mask and apron and continue to make your experience as safe and as comfortable as possible. I will perform regular tests on myself.
