First day back at the workplace today (school) after the summer holiday. We started with a whole-staff briefing in the hall, so 200+ in attendance. Seats all placed 1m apart, so some effort at distancing had taken place, but what I found surprising was the lack of masks. I counted just 6 members of staff wearing a mask, and at least one removed theirs pretty swiftly, possibly uneasy about standing out, I don’t know. Refreshing to slowly be getting back to normal.
When the pupils return next week I do expect masks to persist at maybe 20% - some will of course have worries, want to take precautions or they’ll have instructions from their parents.
