<\/span><\/h3>\nFirst up, you might be wondering how the coronavirus works and how it spreads. In a
\n nutshell, COVID-19 is a respiratory infection that varies in severity from person to person.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nIt spreads through close contact with an infectious person, and its <\/span>common
\n symptoms<\/span><\/a> include a fever, cough, sore throat and shortness of breath.
\n In Australia, we\u2019re currently seeing the highest presence of the <\/span>Delta<\/span> and <\/span>Omicron<\/span> variants, each coming with its own
\n unique symptoms, severity and transmissibility.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nOnce someone contracts COVID-19, they must immediately isolate and <\/span>remain in
\n quarantine until they\u2019re allowed to leave isolation<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nLuckily, Australia is one of the most vaccinated countries globally against COVID-19.
\n Being fully vaccinated significantly reduces your chances of severe disease and is encouraged for any mobile massage
\n therapist or beauty therapist who is looking to work through the Blys platform.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text]<\/div><\/div>

<\/span>Five COVID-safe practices for mobile massage and beauty therapists\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\nWant to stay as safe as possible while at work? Here are five practical steps you can
\n take to protect yourself as a mobile massage or beauty therapist.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/span>1. Ask clients to create a clear, open space prior to your arrival\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\nTo help you keep a safe distance from your clients, it\u2019s worth messaging your bookings
\n prior to arrival to ask them to create a clear space in their home for you to set up.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nThis can help limit the amount of time you spend in close proximity to your client and
\n keep you both safe during your appointment. Plus, it will ensure you have enough space to deliver the best treatment
\n possible, too.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/span>2. Thoroughly sanitise all tools and equipment before and after appointments<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\nEnsuring your equipment is thoroughly cleaned and sanitised between appointments is a
\n helpful way to keep yourself and your clients safe from COVID-19.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nIn practical terms, this means:<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n\n- Wiping down all tables and tools with
\n hospital-grade disinfectant before and after treatments (including clipboards, pens, product containers and
\n massage stools). <\/span><\/li>\n- Using fresh, clean linen for every
\n client and a pump oil dispenser to lower the risk of cross-contamination. <\/span><\/li>\n- Washing your hands and arms thoroughly
\n for at least 20 seconds before and after treatments. If a sink isn\u2019t available use an alcohol-based hand
\n sanitiser (and make sure to provide a pump bottle to your clients prior to every treatment).\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/span>3. Open windows to encourage natural ventilation and airflow\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\nWherever possible, make sure to open windows and ensure good ventilation during your
\n treatments. You can ask your clients to open the windows in their homes ahead of time to ensure there is plenty of
\n fresh air flow during your appointments.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/span>4. Wear a PPE mask and face shield during appointments<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\nFace masks and face shields are helpful tools you can use to keep yourself safe from
\n COVID-19 at work. These items provide an extra level of protection and allow you to deliver effective treatments
\n while minimising your chances of catching COVID-19.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nThe World Health Organisation has really helpful information about <\/span>how to wear and store your face masks<\/span><\/a>.
\n Plus, the Australian government has given specific guidelines about <\/span>what type of face masks provide the best protection<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/span>5. Ask your clients to wear a mask during sessions (if appropriate)<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\nIf you\u2019re providing a service that doesn\u2019t require a face covering (such as a massage,
\n manicure or brow treatment), it\u2019s worth asking your clients to wear a mask during their session. By both wearing
\n face masks during your bookings, you can keep each other as safe as possible from COVID-19.
