I am writing to confirm that an in-person appointment, with proper precautions, can be held at the current time.
First, thank-you for re-circulating the “Return to In-Person Work Guidelines” along with the link to the current Public Health Order. I have reviewed both of these.
The current situation is as follows: I have a part-time private practice, and I am now seeing all of my clients virtually except for one client who I am seeing virtually for now but we’d like to return to in-person appointments as soon as possible (later this week if possible) as it is a unique case where we are completing trauma-specific therapy and there are certain concerns linked to the phone and technology which are making it difficult to complete the level of work we need to virtually right now. This client knew I would be reaching out to NSBEP to confirm that we can continue in-person as long as I continue to follow the Return to In-person work guidelines (sanitation, screening, cleaning, log, etc.), along with now having us both wear a mask inside regardless of whether we can keep 6 ft between us – it seems that protective eye equipment is not necessary at the current time?I just want to ensure that I am proceeding correctly and understanding correctly that we can still indeed engage in in-person work as long as it is done with all of these precautions in mind?Thanks so much for your advisement and your continued guidance during these challenging times!
