COVID Information & Consent

Signature Required

INFORMED CONSENT 

I understand that COVID-19 is highly contagious and still present in the community where I am seeking massage therapy. I understand that COVID-19 is passed through close contact with others and that people without symptoms may be infectious. I understand that this massage business has taken every precaution to ensure my health and safety but that risk of infection is still possible.

HIGH RISK AWARENESS 

I understand that the heath conditions listed on page 2 of this document place me or my dependent at higher risk for serious illness from COVID-19 infection. If I have one of these conditions I or my dependent should forgo massage therapy while COVID-19 is still present in my community, or obtain my physician's consent to receive massage therapy. Should I or my dependent decide to proceed with massage therapy I assume all risk related to illness from COVID-19 infection.
