I just had my first in person session for 4 months last Friday. My country is down to about 20-30 new cases a day, our population is about 8.5 million.

It was a tiny bit different than usual, but not much. Near the entrance, there was hand sanitizer provided for people who don't have their own. There was also a disinfectant spray in the bathroom, plus gloves to clean/do something like open the window, window was open anyways though.

T and I both wore a mask (it's mandatory if you're in an enclosed space with close contact for more than 15 minutes), and he put the client's seat as far away from his as possible. He cleans the seat as well as door handles after every client.

It was very nice to see him again. We only talked for 15 minutes a week on the phone, no video, for the last few months. I didn't really mind the masks, I am wearing one whenever I go out anyways and I almost never look at him, so it's fine. When he greeted me in the beginning, he didn't wear a mask and I could see his whole face, which was also nice.
And there were no handshakes at the beginning/end of session, but that was fine as well, I was happy enough to be able to see him again.

We're planning on doing in person again for the time being, but of course if things get worse again, we might switch back to phone sessions.

It might be worth noting that it's been legal for him to see people in person for almost two months now, but he only decided to go back about three weeks ago, and he started with a reduced number of people to figure out how to best do things himself.
Thanks for this!
