The Welsh Government have confirmed that close contact holistic services can reopen from today.

What does this mean for CNHC Registrants?
You can return to working 'hands-on' provided that you:

• have full infection control measures in place
• have confirmation that you are covered by your Professional Indemnity Insurance
• comply with any local lockdown restrictions imposed in your area.

The Welsh Government's guidance for holistic services can be found here. It includes a restart risk assessment and a reopening checklist.

Note: This guidance diverges from UK Government guidance for close contact services in relation to high risk zones. It states that: "practitioners are currently strongly advised not to perform treatments that will bring them within the ‘highest risk zone’ of clients (defined as the area in front of the face where splashes and droplets from the nose and mouth, that may not be visible, can be present and pose a hazard from the client to the practitioner and vice versa)".
