So, within the past week, the Coronavirus has gone from looming in the back of our minds to taking over our every waking moment. But, Do my clients need to worry?
I am still taking bookings for parties and events and keeping an eye on the news for what the department of health and government suggests.
So, there are things we can do as professionals to minimise the risk to our clients. This is why it so very important to hire a professional over a hobbyist painter. We have stringent routines we follow
Please be assured that as a professional face painter, I will always adhere to strict hygiene rules regardless of what virus is circulating...

To put your minds at ease this is how I will be handling the situation , bookings and cancellations. Please get in touch if you have any concerns at all regarding a booking.
As long as we’re all following the advice and washing our hands regularly, we’re doing the very best we can. We’ve seen this happen time and again in history. A decade ago it was swine flu and the issues surrounding that. Right now, we need to be sharing the CORRECT information on how to tackle this and stay safe. Social media is a hotbed of misinformation and opinions, if in doubt always refer back to your government website.
Stay safe. Keep grounded. Keep informed
