Policies in accordance with the release of COVID-19 restrictions in Massachusetts effective 5/29/21
For the BUILDING:  Roots and  Wings policy is

1. All doors will be locked before 9am and after 5pm.  If locked, call when you arrive and I will come to let you in.  
2. Wearing of a well-fitting face covering is strongly encouraged at all times in the common areas of the building.
3. As I fall under "health care" face coverings are still required in my office, regardless of vaccination status.

Vaccination status:  I am fully vaccinated.  
Prescreening:
If you are not vaccinated, you will be required to sign a short form acknowledging that you have not been exposed to anyone testing positive in the last 5 days and you have no symptoms at present.....

Hand Hygiene, Sanitizing and disinfecting:

1. Appointment times are staggered to allow 30 minutes for cleaning/sanitizing between clients. 
2. All table coverings are changed between each patient.
3. Common use surfaces will be wiped with an EPA registered disinfectant for coronavirus, door knobs, table, chair, other surfaces with which patients come in contact.

1. Patients MUST wear a face covering in the office.
2. I will be wearing a clean scrub shirt – changed between patients.   
3. I am sanitizing my hands between patients (after sanitizing the room) and often during the treatment.
