Brought back today. Is it nationwide or just in certain areas?

?? there`s only about a dozen of us wearing masks in our small DO. Not enough space to social distance, no-one masking up while van sharing, AND we`ve had people off self-isolating. I`d welcome it personally.

Nothing’s been said in our office. I’d say the number of staff wearing masks in our office is about 50/50.

We still have some in our office not getting vaccinated, I’d say that’s more important than a piece of cloth on your face .

Royal Mail Group retains the right to mandate face coverings in line with a risk assessment review and based on infection rate data.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

It is a personal choice and we should not discriminate those who choose not to take have it.
The vaccine is not 100% safe but the benefits out way death
It’s all a risk and you need to balance the pros and cons

The Vaccine is clearly working but unfortunately not for all ,and for how long who knows?

Should we give it to 12 - 15 year olds?
If I was a parent with children at school it would be a concern to me and would lean to the answer no.

You can but be prepared to start at 2pm after your partner finishes so you can go out in the van yourself.
