It's official! Toronto & Peel region are moving to Stage 2 on Wednesday. We will be updating our schedule tonight to indicate which SPs are ready to come back (though I should mention that many are not) and we'll reopen our booking line as of today for prebookings.
The following restrictions will be in place for at least the first two weeks:
Client restrictions:
- We will not be arranging any bookings for unverified clients. Might as well get this out of the way at the start; if you haven't booked with us before, then you need a reference, a terb handle with a decent posting history, or an active and visible Twitter handle. No exceptions; we need to be able to contact you if you've been in contact with an SP who tests positive for COVID-19, and we need to trust that you'll contact us if you test positive at a later time.
We recognize that many clients will not be comfortable with this, but these are not normal times, and the risks that both clients and SPs are taking are higher today than they were in the past. Internal contact tracing is a must for all businesses that are reopening, and we will not excuse ourselves or our clients from that responsibility.
- Multiple bookings in one day will not be permitted.
- Duos will not be offered for at least the first two weeks, possibly longer.
- Any indication of COVID-19 symptoms will result in an SP refusing to see you. If you're not feeling 100%, please DO NOT risk it.
SP restrictions:
- SPs will only be offering services in our downtown Toronto locations.
- 1hr minimums for all bookings will apply.
- The SPs are in the process of updating their pages to reflect any service adjustments, but as of now, none of our SPs have indicated that masks will worn, or required. If an SP chooses to require a mask, this information will be clearly marked on her page, and we will inform any clients who request to see her of that requirement when the booking is made.
- SPs will not be working on back-to-back days. This will reduce the exposure to clients if an SP is seeing clients in the presymptomatic stage (which appears to be 1-2 days), and later develops symptoms consistent with COVID-19.
- SPs will have longer than normal gaps between clients, as well as per-day maximums. SPs will also be working in more clearly-defined shifts, as per our website.
We will continue to monitor the situation, and respond to the political and public health-related changes and recommendations as things continue to develop. We will make adjustments as required, and will consistently and regularly reassess our policies to strike the proper balance between safety and risk. This will be the last post that we make on this thread.
Thank you to everyone for your continued patience, and we look forward to resuming services in the coming days.
Thanks,
Nikki
