their doctor or urgent care but must not enter the facility.
Establish a customer self-certification checklist that certifies they are free of COVID-19 related symptoms before having a
procedure performed. Consider also asking the customer to take their temperature prior to the procedure to ensure they
do not have a fever. NOTE: Revise facility’s Consent Form and Medical Questionnaire Form to address changes due to
COVID-19.

E. Measures to Prevent Crowds from Gathering:
Limit the number of customers so there is at least a 6-foot physical separation between workstations during each
procedure. Procedures are conducted by scheduled appointment only, with no walk-in customers. Schedule
appointments with enough time in between each client to fully disinfect all contact surfaces in the procedure area,
bathroom and facility entrance.

the facility.

each other, as much as practicable. Providing a physical barrier (non-absorbent walls, large plexiglass installations, etc.)
between workstations to provide protection when 6-feet distancing is not possible. Discuss with your health inspector
ahead of time for approval.
