COVID-19: End of Week Updates
UPDATE on OFFICE CLOSING:
The CSW is doing everything we can to provide the necessary information and resources during this virus pandemic.

One of the key issues and fears is the mandatory closure of our offices.  The mandatory closure would be called "shelter in place."  With Kentucky, New York, California and most recently Illinois going to shelter in place the fear level started to rise in Wisconsin.

Below is a new release from the legislative leadership that correlates with the Governors previous statements that Wisconsin is  NOT  currently considering a "shelter in place." This is very positive news and it means that all of our offices will remain open to serve our patients.

Legal Webinar this Friday March 27th from 12:00 - 1:00 p.m. related to the new Employer/ Employee requirements :
The CSW realized the importance of this information for our members and have set up a program with the employment law team from the law firm of O’Neil, Cannon, Hollman, DeJong & Laing S.C.  We also realized that all chiropractic offices would need this information and thus are working with the presenters and CHUSA's webinar platform to bring this program on a nationwide level.

We will have the sign up procedures available late Monday or early Tuesday for our members to register.

* This is very important information and the CSW is opening this webinar up to all chiropractors and staff in Wisconsin as a service to our profession.
Can We Continue Providing Massage Therapy Services in our Offices?
Yes , all of the services you provide in your office can still be provided during the pandemic. You will need to make sure that all of your disinfectant procedures are closely followed and potentially enhanced to ensure patient safety.
