At Atma we want to assure you that we are taking steps to make sure that our spa is sanitized at all times. We are wiping down doorknobs, face rest, bathroom facilities, and take our most care in personal hygiene including handwashing for at least 20 seconds.
If you have the following symptoms : Fever, cough, shortness of breath, or difficulty breathing please stay home.
Apart from not wanting to spread the disease, if symptomatic, massage can increase severity of illness.
It is a good idea to do the following to reduce the transmission of this virus and others. According to the CDC this includes:
• Handwashing often with soap and water and at least for 20 seconds. This includes the upper and lower hand and the nail beds. Especially when going to the bathroom, before eating, and after blowing your nose coughing or sneezing.
• If handwashing is not available, use and alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol. If hands are visibly dirty always wash with soap and water. You can make hand sanitizer with rubbing alcohol and aloe vera gel, and if rubbing alcohol is not available in the store, vodka can be substituted.
• Avoid close contact with people who are sick. People who are sick should be isolated to their room, and if possible should use her own bathroom.
• Avoid touching your face especially your eyes, nose, and mouth.
• Stay home when you’re sick.
• Coughing or sneezing should be done in to the inside of your elbow.
• Avoid shaking hands with other people. Fist bumps and elbow taps are acceptable.
• It is thought that contact with surfaces is a way that the virus is spread so be careful and wipe down surfaces regularly with a disinfectant cleaning spray
If you have any questions or concerns we are here for you.
