-  * There is a consensus in the field that massages (especially in the region of the head and face)should be totally avoided if either partner is identified like being more at risk of developing serious illness in the event of catching the coronavirus (elderly, for example) / is feeling poorly at the time of massage / is sneezing or coughing - whether or not they have a fever. Another recommendation, valid at all times, is that both partners in massage be wearing clean clothes for the massage, not clothes that have been outside. And of course, it's best to wash hands and forearms thoroughly before and after the massage.
