COVID-19 SAFETY GUIDELINES
At Emerge Medical and Well Spa we are committed to the safety of our clients and staff. Below are the steps we are taking to ensure we are compliant with the CDC’s guidelines.
- Prior to booking an appointment clients must answer NO to the following questions proving they are of little or no risk.
- Have you experienced a new fever above 100.4 in the past 14 days?
- Have you had a new cough or shortness of breath in the past 14 days?
- Have you had to travel to a country of high transmission of COVID-19?
- Have you had contact with anyone experiencing the symptoms above or that have traveled internationally in the past 14 days?
- Clients are not permitted entrance into the building until their appointment time.
- Before entry clients MUST WEAR A MASK. Masks may only be removed for services that require you to do so. If you do not have a mask you may purchase one for only $10. If you refuse to wear a mask you will be asked to reschedule your appointment immediately.
- Upon entry, clients must immediately sanitize their hands (hand sanitizer will be provided)
- Upon entry, clients will also be required to have their temperature taken.
- We will then ask that you sign the consent that you agreed to by phone.
- Once the consent is complete your therapist will meet you at the front and escort you to the restroom where you will be required to thoroughly wash your hands.
- You will then be taken to your treatment room.
- After your treatment, you will be escorted to the front area to check out.
- We all must maintain a distance of 6ft apart so you may be asked to wait a few minutes until other clients have cleared the check out area.
