Anyone else's workplace still stipulating that you have to wear masks?

[shabbalabba]

Just that really? We are still having to wear masks all day in work...anyone else?

And I’m not hospital but domiciliary care.

Ours are 'recommending' them

Yes. Public sector, wearing to walk around the building.

Have to confess that generally there are not many people in and when I was on my own last week I didn't put one on to go to the loo, 10 yards away.

Yes, in Scotland. Have to wear one when moving around the office but not when seated.

Mask on when moving around the office, off at desk and in meetings. Masks on when with vulnerable people so when I'm assessing children with disabilities I wear mask. We can only go to an office if we book a desk and it is agreed by manager. Working from home still in place with visits to homes and schools taking place.

I work in a primary school and we have never worn them.

We visited a chain restaurant last Thursday, I felt so sorry for the staff still having to wear masks, when none of their customers were,

Yes. I work in a university

Yes. NHS.

Working in a call centre, we have plastic guards around all our desks.

We shout at each other through at least two layers of plastic.

Yes, civil service in Northern Ireland

Just warning you all you and your colleagues are likely to get Covid once masks are no longer worn. I have it now and so do many of my colleagues having avoided it the last 2 years.

Yes

Yes, large factory site. Technically meant to be wearing one at all times even outside. In practice, at my desk and with a drink next to me...

I know of different companies same industry where this is also the case. Never had to do regular LFTs though, just temperature checks.

I work in ptofessional services and everyone in our office is still wearing masks in all open plan parts of the office. We can take them off in meeting rooms and when sat at our desks only.

Yes I work in a university. Our numbers of positive cases among staff in my department are higher than they have been at any point. Cases in my kid's school are also as high as they have ever been, although they aren't putting in place any measures to reduce the spread. People may not be getting very sick with covid but it is certainly causing a huge amount of disruption.

Yes, work on a manufacturing site. Our rule is 'if you get up (from your desk) or meet up, then mask up', we're having another spate of Covid at the moment, so seems justified.

Yes, non-clinical NHS working in a local authority building

Yes council office. To lead by example apparently.

I have left adult social care and had to wear one there at all times. Now in children's social care and won't have to wear one at all or lft tests

Yes, it’s not mandatory but strongly encouraged- I’m in HE.
We don’t have to wear in our own office but when walking around campus or communal areas we do.
Students aren’t complying but staff are.

I'm amazed anyone is playing this daft game anymore.

It's now a mild-moderate cold in terms of symptoms for 99.99% of people.

Fewer people are dying of it than normally do of flu. Time to completely knock this nonsense on the head everywhere

Yes - teacher in special school.

Yes! I work in a vets, and it has been our company's policy since the beginning of Covid.
I personally can't wait to ditch them, although that is unlikely for a long time unfortunately

I no longer wear one outside of work.

Yes, university.

I have been continuing to wear one personally too, when out, but so few people are that I'm doing so less. Still wearing one in the supermarket & similar places but I'm one of the very few. I'm in Ireland, compulsory mask wearing was only lifted two weeks ago, and I'm surprised at how many aren't wearing one.

Yes. School in Scotland.
