If you are vaccinated, practice good hand hygiene and both you and the massage therapist wear a mask, the risk of you getting Covid, although not zero, is still quite low. Wash your hands directly afterwards and both of you mask. If you are not vaccinated, get vaccinated first and wait for 2 weeks post-vaccine. Good luck!
