Practitioner Guidance
England
Practitioners can accept and receive clients as normal.
As you may be aware from Thursday 27 January 2022 the Plan B measures that were introduced by the UK Government in December in response to the rising infection rates from the Omicron variant ended. This means that face coverings are no longer required by law in any setting. The UK Government’s guidance for close contact services has now been updated to reflect the changes in relation to face coverings (see Section 7.2). The guidance states: “having considered the risk of COVID-19, you may decide that you’re going to ask clients or staff to wear a face covering in your premises, especially where practitioners are conducting treatments which require them to be in close proximity to a person’s face, mouth and nose.”
You must exercise the utmost caution and exercise your professional judgement in assessing the risks. It is your responsibility to ensure you adhere to Government advice at all times which can be accessed here www.gov.uk/coronavirus and more specifically, for England visit: Working safely during the coronavirus (COVID-19): Close contact services.
Northern Ireland
Practitioners can accept and receive clients as normal.
