How safe is an enclosed room?

[Maidofdishonour]

My hairdresser has a garden office unit as her salon. It’s pretty cosy, one chair, one sink etc. Hairdresser wears a mask and everyone has their temperature taken and sanitises their hands. All equipment is wiped down between clients. I arrived today and the person before me hadn’t worn a mask as they are exempt. The room is not ventilated other then when the door opens to let one person out and the next person in.
How safe do you consider this to be if a client doesn’t wear a mask and has been in the enclosed room for about an hour?

To put it in perspective, I isolated in a modest sized house with FIVE CV positive members of my family for 14 days and didn’t catch it. I even slept with one of them (DH), the other 4 are my DC.

You could have caught it and been asymptomatic.

Nope. Tested negative 3 times from initial infection to day before isolation ended.

@CoronaIsShit I isolated completely from my family at the first sign of symptoms and they still all caught it. For balance.

I had my flu jab a few weeks ago and wouldn't let the woman shut the door. I was only there for a few minutes but even so. Although I was at hospital with my daughter the other day and they weren't closing the door in the smaller rooms.

I don't get why people aren't all taking the ventilation issue seriously.

The guidelines tend to be quite woolly by saying ‘increase ventilation’ and suggest opening a window. I think they rely on common sense but it’s getting difficult as the weather gets colder

Advise a minimum of 2 hours after.

I did suggest that she left the door open but she assured me that the previous client didn’t have Covid.
😂😂😂 How can your hairdresser possibly know this? Did she test her beforehand?

Me too but we've had such prolific messaging about hands, space, face and an implication that the virus is not airborne that people aren't now hearing the ventilation message. I have intelligent friends still frantically hand sanitising and not taking on board the risk of gathering indoors in close proximity.

Media teams can put together infographics or animated videos in the blink of an eye. The government could do better to illustrate the message about ventilation in an easy digestible format in the lead up to Christmas
