I want to ask other #CovidConscious people:
I am considering a change to policy that would allow my clients not to have to wear a mask in treatment.
The policy change would be: proof of a negative RAT test within 24 hours of the start of their session (preferably 12).
So the onus would be on them to do a test within that window before their session. They would have the choice of either giving me a negative test result or continuing wearing a mask (which I provide).
I had not been asking them to test before this unless they had recently traveled; I've just had everyone wear masks, which has seemed the best route for all of us.
I of course would continue to be well-masked and running a HEPA filter in my work environment.
I don't usually see people back-to-back, so I'm not worried about the air exchange rate in my room between sessions, and I filter the air throughout the rooms they pass through as well.
Is this a bad idea? Did the virus "get" me and change my thinking without me realizing it? It is tricksy and false if so.
I know it's a policy change that could be abused by people whom I don't know well, but I am not seeing any new people right now.
I plan to apply it to existing clients whom I trust to be honest with me.
It would be the first time in four years that I have changed my policy, and the first time I've considered relaxing my practice boundaries since the start of #Covid.
Yet I am a little worried that I haven't considered all of the angles.
I would love to hear what you think.
