This is part of step two in the three step framework for re-opening the economy.
Our favourite RnT joints will not be able to provide any services unless that establishment has a remedial massage licence. Even if they do, "part two" services are still (no doubt) strictly forbidden. So, these establishments and prospective clients should still proceed at their own risk.
Brothels are definitely still not allowed to open.
I'm doubtful as to how much restrictions will ease, let alone at all, at Stage Three.
Establishments will also be required to record client contact details, for any prospective COVID-19 contact tracing. This is a point which I think will be lost on many punters, and one which will also make it a slow grind back for the industry when we things get back underway (as I'm sure many will walk away and not engage in the service not wanting to give away their details).
