COVID 19
OUR RESPONSE & A PLAN FOR THE POST-COVID WORLD
Dear Metro Sports Friends and Family,
MSPT has remained and continues to be open for in-office physical therapy during the COVID-19 pandemic and also continues to offer Telehealth physical therapy for all patients. Physical therapy has always been classified as an essential service in New York State.
We have educated ourselves on recommended private practice guidelines from the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) and will continue to strive to be in constant compliance with New York State rules and regulations in regard to the operation of a small business such as ours. We also understand that the effects of the surrounding COVID-19 pandemic are always changing and we intend to evolve in alignment with all public health requirements.
In preparation of the phased New York re-opening, we would like to share our plan to always ensure the safety of our MSPT patients, staff, and our surrounding community.
