Iowa COVID-19 Update Correction
05/08/2020ABMP, ASCP, AHP, and ANP sent an email this week regarding back-to-practice dates for massage therapists, estheticians, and cosmetologists in the state of Iowa. Since sending that email, we are appreciative of those of you who responded seeking further clarification. We were able to talk with the Iowa Board of Massage Therapy Chair and the Board Administrator and sought clarification with the Governor’s office, as the state’s April 27, 2020, Proclamation of Disaster Emergency is confusing at best.
Iowa COVID-19 State Update
05/06/2020There have been many changes in the massage therapy, esthetics, and cosmetology professions and communities in response to COVID-19 (coronavirus), from proclamations affecting business closures, to emergency rulemaking altering renewal timelines, to distance learning modifying continuing education requirements.
