With these places it's not about the number of people present, the issue is the almost guaranteed likelihood of transmission. If a punter or a WL/ML has it, that transaction is enough to guarantee transmission from one to the other. It's the nature of the contact that is the problem here. I can't think of any other activity that has an equivalent likelihood of transmission... can you?
Not only that but a bunch of people extremely reluctant to 'fess up if a case emerged. This alone might be enough to keep them closed for longer. Not so much massage shops as they are "supposed" to be no different to beauty salons, hairdressers and nail shops that women seem to spend an inordinate amount of time in.
