Please maintain 2 meters for social distancing at all times, but particularly in the communal areas.
During treatment, the therapists or other staff may get closer to you than 2 meters but this will be as short as fgeasible to provide your treatment
We will be cleaning equipment before, during and after use for your safety and this will be part of your treatment time.
Seating in the reception area has been removed temporarily. With safety in mind, we have placed a single chair near the toilets and entrance and we will clean this chair regularly during the day.
We will ask you to go to your designated treatment area and remain there for the duration of the session. You will be informed by your therapist when it is your turn to leave the treatment area. This to avoid challenges to social distances when others are using the communal areas such as reception
We will contact you the day before to check on any health concerns. This may be by email or phone
What are the symptoms of Coronavirus
The new Coronavirus may not show sign of infection for many days.
So how can one know if he/she is infected?
By the time they have a fever and/or cough and need to go to the hospital, the lung is usually already 50% Fibrosis. Taiwan experts provide a simple self-check that we can do every morning. Take a deep breath and hold your breath for more than 10 seconds. If you complete it successfully without coughing, without discomfort, stiffness or tightness, etc., it proves there is no Fibrosis in the lungs, basically indicates no infection.
In critical times, please self-check every morning in an environment with clean air. Serious excellent advice by Japanese doctors treating COVID-19 cases: Everyone should ensure your mouth & throat are moist, never dry. Take a few sips of water every 15 minutes at least. Why? Even if the virus gets into your mouth, drinking water or other liquids will wash them down through your throat and into the stomach. Once there, your stomach acid will kill all the virus.
If you don't drink enough water more regularly, the virus can enter your windpipe and into the lungs. That's very dangerous. Please send and share this with family and friends. Take care be safe!!
THE SYMPTOMS
1. It will first infect the throat, so you'll have a sore throat lasting 3/4 days
2. The virus then blends into a nasal fluid that enters the trachea and then the lungs, causing pneumonia. This takes about 5/6 days further.
3. With pneumonia comes high fever and difficulty in breathing.
4. The nasal congestion is not like the normal kind. You feel like you're drowning. It's imperative you then seek immediate attention.
