Ask Dr Tessa

"My client found out she had been exposed to someone who has tested positive for COVID-19..."

"Cases appear to be on the rise again... should I be preparing to close my business again?"

“Lip waxing requires my client be unmasked. How much time can pass before it becomes too risky?”

“I am pregnant and also suffer from asthma. How does COVID affect those in my situation?”

“There seems to be a lot of counterfeit PPE... What should I look for when buying a mask online?”

"It’s difficult to treat masked clients. As long as I wear one, is that adequate enough protection?"

"If I have a fever or get sick, how long should I stay at home before returning to see clients?"

"Am I more susceptible to contracting coronavirus if I treat health-care workers?"

"I trust my co-workers. Is it necessary to wear masks around each other?"

"What’s the best way to keep my space safely ventilated?"
