Announcement By Order: Masks a must, Showers closed at body rub & holistic massage spas

[xtc27]

Shower in same room? How’d you get there?
The spa rooms that I frequent have a shower but do NOT provide access to equipment storage or a bathroom...

Perfume Spa... not sure if they reopened... Weston N of Lawrence... lotsa names... Heaven 7, Moonlight, MiNe...

Perfume Spa... not sure if they reopened... Weston N of Lawrence... lotsa names... Heaven 7, Moonlight, MiNe...

so those spas have a bathroom on the other side of massage rooms that you have to go through in order to get to the bathroom AND therefore you believe this memo says you can, as a result, keep the shower in the room operating?
Really?

What is actually says is the clients of body rub spas MUST shower (municipal code chapter 545) and that holistic spas can have showers. HOWEVER, right now, they are not enforcing that body rub customers must have showers before a session. They are choosing not to enforce chapter 545 of the municipal code requiring showers before body rub sessions because the showers are to be closed.

"Currently, the City bylaw, Municipal Code Chapter 545 – Licensing, requires clients to shower before receiving services in Body Rub Parlours (municipal code chapter 545) and allows for showers and saunas in Holistic Centres. However, the Emergency Order requires that showers and saunas must be closed. The City will not be enforcing the requirements for clients to bathe prior to receiving service at Body Rub Parlours."

It is not the shower ban that they are not enforcing but rather chapter 545 of the municipal code requiring a shower that they are currently not enforcing.

You are correct. I read it wrong.

Here is a copy and paste from the City of Toronto Notice:

"Dr. Michael Finkelstein Acting Director,Communicable Disease Control and Associate Medical Officer of Health Dr. Eileen de VillaMedical Officer of HealthPublic Health 277 Victoria Street 5th Floor Toronto, Ontario M5B 1W2 June 26, 2020

NOTICE TO BODY RUB PARLOURS AND HOLISTIC CENTRES PROVINCIAL EMERGENCY ORDER MADE UNDER O. REG263/20

Dear Owner/ Operator,

On June 23, 2020, the Province of Ontario amended the Emergency Order for Stage 2 Closures and added requirements to apply tocertain businesses in the city of Toronto effective at 12:01a.m. on June 24, 2020. Under section 6 of Schedule 2 of the Regulation, Body Rub Parlours and HolisticCentres are allowed to open subject to complying with the conditions set out under the “personal care services” category.

Section 6 and the applicable conditions to open, state as follows:
Personal care services6.
(1) Personal care services relating to the hair or body, including hair salons and barbershops, manicure and pedicure salons, aesthetician services, piercing services, tanning salons, spas and tattoo studios, may open if they comply with the following conditions:
1.No personal care services that tend to a patron’s face, such as facials, facial hair grooming or removal or makeup applications, may be provided.
2.Persons who provide personal care services in the business must wear appropriate personal protective equipment
3.Patrons must wear face covering at all times while receiving personal care services.
4.Subject to subsection 19 (2), any locker rooms, change rooms, and showers must be closed, except to the extent they provide access to equipment storage, a washroom or a portion of the business that is used to provide first aid.
5.Any steam rooms, saunas, whirlpools or bathhouses must be closed
6.Any baths, hot tubs, floating pools or sensory deprivation pods must be closed, unless they are used for a therapeutic purpose prescribed by, or administered by, a regulated health professional.
7.Oxygen bars must be closed.The Emergency Order was made under the authority of the Emergency Management and Civil Protection Actin response to the spread of the SARS-CoV-2virus.

Currently, the City bylaw, Municipal Code Chapter 545 –Licensing,requires clients to shower before receiving services in Body Rub Parlours and allows for showers and saunas in Holistic Centres. However, the Emergency Order requires that showers and saunas must be closed. The City will not be enforcing the requirements for clients to bathe prior to receiving service at Body Rub Parlours.

Toronto Public Health has recently released guidance to support owners/operators on how to operate personal services settings while reducing the risk of staff and clients from contracting COVID-19. The guidance is found at https://www.toronto.ca/wp-content/u...19-Guidance-for-Personal-Service-Settings.pdf "

So my interpretation now is the same as yours:

Clause 4, and the second last paragraph of the Notice, which I have "bolded" state that all showers (except for the very specific and unlikely stated exceptions) must be closed whether in Holistics or Body Rubs. And Toronto will not be enforcing the requirement that clients of Body Rubs must shower before a session.

If that is the case, as long as the State of Emergency is in force there will be no showers for staff or clients at Holistics and Body Rubs, at least for those spas who will comply with "no showers" regulation.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

My 2 cents, the letter says that by-law will not be enforcing the requirement, what is not said is that they will be enforcing the ban.
Who is responsible to enforce provincial emergency orders anyways

 

[thunderfromdownunder]

There are likely tens of thousands of "personal care" establishments in the city. Common sense would dictate they don't have enough time to police who is taking a shower.

Not even the cops understand what they are or are not supposed to enforce

so those spas have a bathroom on the other side of massage rooms that you have to go through in order to get to the bathroom AND therefore you believe this memo says you can, as a result, keep the shower in the room operating?
Really?

Same room for Perfume. And La La Wellness.

...in same room as toilet in many others...

Washrooms= explicitly exempt.

“...except to the extent they provide access to equipment storage, a washroom...”

...not interpretation... that’s a quote.

Spirit? Disinfect after every client= e-z & not communal space.

==========

...some guys on here getting horny imagining girls going f/ guy 2 guy dropping w cum... that’s not happening...

U wanna shower? U getta shower. LE can go fuck themselves.

Thank you gotta hobby

this is perfectly correct IMO

showers are to be closed in the typical massage room setting BUT they will not be enforcing the “you must take a shower first rule” for body rubs

in other words, although showers are supposed to be closed in the massage room - just play on

sort of like you aren’t supposed to be getting BBBJ or FS but that’s play on too...

Read gotta hobby explanation above and that will set things straight

 

[itstherealthing]

After a body slide and DATO and DATY with your mask off.......getting covid from a shower is gonna be the least of my worries

 

[gottahobby]

Just texted an mpa who works at a holistic spa who I've known for a long time. It's south of Steeles. She says no problem with the communal shower. Masks on til in the room, and then business as usual.

That's all the details I can share. No PM's please.

Why are these MPAs texting you all the time if you never go to visit any of these diseased money grubbing whores at the filthy infection laden spas where they work?

Not only are they supposedly texting the man who hates all spas and mpas, but they are texting you to tell you all about how ill they are??!!

How certain are you it's not actually the voices in your head?
