Update, March 25th
Dear Clients,
At this time we are pausing business to do our part to prevent the spread of COVID-19. We will reopen when the crisis is over.
I have decided against taking high need / low risk patients on a case by case basis at this time. I do kindly apologize for any inconvenience. Given the most updated information on how highly contagious the virus is, the CDC’s recently updated sanitation recommendations on cleaning after a possible exposure, their recommendations on healthcare workers wearing PPE when in close contact anyone with exposure, and the fact that we absolutely must act as if everyone has had exposure because of the long asymptomatic incubation period, there is no way to truly operate a massage practice safely.
The WA State Dept of Health, which is the entity governing massage licensure in WA State, has issued statements saying that we are all required to shut down. As beneficial to our health as massage is, it is not essential in a pandemic crisis, in my opinion and the opinion of the DOH. Jay Inslee has not clarified this and some practices are still open, but the DOH sees this as an oversight, as do many massage therapists who are working to change this oversight that is very likely furthering the spread of COVID-19. Seattle Massage Oasis is choosing to comply with the “Stay Home, Stay Healthy” order, which includes not risking exposure for anything non-essential.
Closing is definately not the choice I want to make. However, right now stopping the spread of COVID-19 is top priority. Please take good care of yourselves. We will be opening again when the virus crisis is resolved, and we very much hope to see you then. And again, we will get through this together!
Warm Regards,
Patti Abbott, LMT/owner
