 Of course yes, we ask people to wear a mask, we want them to where a mask (unless they are exempt) but repeatedly touching your face and mask, while otherwise breathing into the room? It's probably more hygenic for you to just call it quits and not darned wear one.

It's unusual times, whatever your role, front of house, back of house, working at home, working on site, working with customers. Whatever your thoughts on the measures which should be in place, the way the country is being led, the way people are behaving, we are all balancing complex and deep feelings.

Couple that with most of the public getting their lockdown information from media outlets, which often don’t communicate more than the “exciting” changes (You can go to the pub in these numerical groups!) and someone looking for tea and cake with gran as part of their visit to your museum may get a bit huffy about the changes.* If your venue is in England, and especially if it has a cafe, a few things you need to really know/think about at the moment:  |
