Message From CAMTC About Coronavirus (COVID-19)

March 15 — Governor Gavin Newsom held a press conference this afternoon from the headquarters of the Office of Emergency Services (OES).

The press conference began at 2:00pm and lasted until a few minutes after 3:00pm. The Governor spoke without notes and made it very clear that California is in an unprecedented crisis. He suggested that we not panic and do our best to be guided by common sense.

He provided guidelines for businesses, schools, and personal behavior. While it was made clear that the new protocols are guidelines, the Governor also said several times that he has the ability to enforce them.

85% of our children will be kept home from school until the end of March — some until the first week of April.
Individuals 65 years and over will self-isolate until future notice.
Visitation at skilled nursing facilities will be for end-of-life only.
Bars, wineries and pubs will close. Card rooms and casinos will be impacted as well.
Restaurants will focus on take-out/delivery, curbside service, and should reduce capacity by half.. to increase social distancing.
Social and business gatherings should be severely reduced — CDC guidelines state no more than fifty people at gatherings.
Social distance — don’t shake hands, and attempt to stay six feet apart from other people.

The theme of the Governor’s press conference was that all non-essential services and all non-essential travel be put on hold.

California Massage Therapy Council’s mission is to protect the public by certifying massage professionals in California that meet the requirements in the law and approving massage programs that meet the minimum standards for training and curriculum.
