Workman in house no mask

We have a workman in the house and he hasn't got a mask on 😕
I'm really surprised and when I said to him about it he said he ha had Covid last year and has his jab. That doesn't stop him spreading it though and now I'm really anxious staying in another room while he works.
Has anyone had anyone in there house with no mask on while doing work?
Maybe I'm being over cautious 🤷🏻‍♀️

I have to say I'm feeling slightly uncomfortable at the moment with six tradesmen in my house all not wearing masks. Admittedly they are fitting windows so good ventilation but they have also stood around chatting in the other rooms and one even wanted me to move a desk with him when no windows open. I opened another window and he asked me to close it as it was cold... but if you challenge they will just say they are exempt.

Tell them that exemptions don’t apply in your house.

@RedcurrantPuff I guess it depends how much @bathsh3ba wants that window fitted as contrary to popular opinion you can't just make up laws.

It’s not about making up laws. Ultimately they are in someone’s home and should abide by their wishes. I’d struggle to believe that 6 men capable of carrying out physical work like window fitting were all “mask exempt” and would tell them so. If they wanted the money for doing the windows they might be best to crack on and wear one of it is the home owner’s wish.
