COVID-19 has been declared a worldwide pandemic by the World Health Organization. COVID-19 is extremely contagious and is believed to spread mainly from person-to-person contact. As a result, federal, state, and local governments and federal and state health agencies recommend social distancing. Your Massage Therapist has put in place preventative measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19; however, your massage therapist cannot guarantee that you will not become infected with COVID-19. By signing this agreement, I acknowledge the contagious nature of COVID19 and voluntarily assume the present and future risk that I may be exposed to or infected by COVID-19 by receiving massage therapy and that such exposure or infection may result in personal injury, illness, permanent disability, and death. I voluntarily agree to assume all of the foregoing risks and accept sole responsibility for any injury to myself (including, but not limited to, personal injury, disability, and death), illness, damage, loss, claim, liability, or expense, of any kind, that I may experience or incur in connection with my massage therapy appointment. On my behalf, I hereby release, covenant not to sue, discharge, and hold harmless my massage therapist, their massage establishment, and any interested parties from the Claims, including all liabilities, claims, actions, damages, costs, or expenses of any kind arising out of or relating thereto. I understand and agree that this release includes any Claims based on the actions, omissions, or negligence of my massage therapist or the establishment where massage therapy services are received, whether a COVID-19 infection occurs before, during, or after participation in any massage therapy session.
