How Covid Secure is your office?

Just that really. I'm starting a series of temp bookings tomorrow that will see me through until November. Am thrilled to bits about getting back to work. Bit worried I'm going to look like a twat if I turn up wearing a mask and keep a distance from others. How are things in your office?

We have kept our distance from each other throughout. Only wear masks in public or clinical areas.

We keep a 2m distance but don't wear masks. No desk hopping allowed, we all have to stick to our own desk and computer. Only one person allowed in the toilet at a time. We can't WFH in our line of work so we need to be sensible to keep the office going.

no idea -- not allowed to be there.
Except, I can and do sneak in some weekends, to get certain tasks done I can't do at home. Maybe 3x since March. There is a confusing one way system we are supposed to wear face covers any time not at desks, and more rules than I can remember.

Two metres apart, screens between workstations, masks at desks unless eating. Used to be just masks when you leave yer desk but not anymore, which is hideous for 8 hours a day talking in the phone.

It means the organisation has taken all the steps it can to keep the staff safe. It’s not a guarantee of no Covid.

Our company has done a lot of work to put measures in place in the office. Only every third desk is in use, one way system, hand gel, regular cleaning, you have to wear a mask when moving around the office, you have to book a slot to use the printer or post room.

It hasn't stopped each of the 7 people working in one section of the office testing positive to covid-19 after one of them caught it from a relative.

We distance , have moved desks. We don't have to wear a mask all the time but actually sometimes I forget and just sit with my mask on the whole time! They don't bother me much unless I'm walking.
