Health Ministry issues guidelines for beauty clinics, massage spas

 

   

BANGKOK (NNT) - The Ministry of Public Health (MOPH) has established guidelines for beauty clinics and massage spas, as the restrictions and measures for preventing COVID-19 start to be eased.

 

Dr. Thares Krassanairawiwong, Director-General of the Department of Health Service Support, said that, now some of the COVID-19 lockdown measures are being eased, enterprises, such as massage spas and beauty clinics, will be able to operate again provided they strictly comply with the MOPH’s regulations by increasing the cleaning cycle, not flicking sheets to prevent diffusion and changing cushions and pillow cases for every customer. There must also be one room per client and curtains for massage spas. For foot massage, massage cushions must be placed 1.5 meters apart.

 

Those who use the service must wear a face mask, wash their hands and follow the facility’s instructions.

 

Dr. Phanphimon Wipulakorn, Director-General of Department of Health, said the Department of Health has developed the "THAI STOP COVID" platform, to allow operators of restaurants, hotels, beauty salons or shopping malls to assess their readiness before providing their services and to allow the public to inspect and report on whether each enterprise strictly adheres to the screening measures by visiting https://stopcovid.anamai.moph.go.th.

More likely these instructions seem best suited to soap operas. I can't see how they will be enforced in reality.

Like everything else in this country, rules are being put down on paper in case someone gets busted, like traffic laws. In reality we all know very well how things will be.

Don't some high ranking persons have interest in massage parlours as they would seem one of the last places to open. Muay Thai stadiums next?

Best time of day to get a massage is in the morning around 10.  After going to the gym and having breakfast it was always nice to get a rub and a tug!

How about some guidelines for Pollution Mr. Sell weed Health Minister.  This was Bangkok this morning, after Sunday night, on lockdown.

  

I predict more outcall for massage service. And just fyi, not every massage has a happy ending. Not even close. Those days are long gone.

Sheets, cushions, pillows... not sure what "soapy" you've ever been to?

You don't want to feel watched by a police officer in a massage session, to see if you comply with the measures ... stressful situation!

Was this some ministerial order, (about the easing), that I have missed?

Actually, considering all the advice about handwashing we've been getting, a soapy massage would seem to be the safest (as arguably the most enjoyable) option.

 

Well, that's going to be my excuse, anyway!

Oh no - in a massage session they're likely to measure you as well now?
