Post by Andy_07 »

It's not mandatory but advisable ,maybe RM have finally realised that prevention is the way forward as a person may be reinfected within 3 months.

I Wrote-During Covid-Which is still relevant now
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.

I am pretty much the only onr in our place that wears one. RM doesn't normally give a toss about COVID now, so at least your dom has some sense.

An FFP3 mask does prevent infection ,these are worn on the Covid hospital wards.
