We're currently not open cuz it's tourism and we close depending on the season (issa park kinda thing) but we also can't open right now cuz lockdown anyway. While we were open last year tho we had reduced capacity on rides so we could socially distance people, on most rides there was a face mask requirement. Although unlike the souvenir shop where children or disabled people could be exempt from wearing a face mask, we couldn't allow any exclusions on the rides no matter what reason you have for not wearing one. We got a lot of complaints but if you think about it, they allow exceptions for shops and stuff cuz those things are a lot more essential for people to go to and you should be distancing in there anyway, but on a ride not only is it harder to socially distance even with our reduced capacity, there's also a lot of screaming which shoots a lot more germs much further than just having an idle conversation in the shop, and unlike shops, rides aren't essential at all, so if you don't have a mask or don't want to wear one, or you can't wear one for whatever reason then you just can't go on the ride and that's that. Even if it was a really chill day and there was only one family waiting for the ride we can't allow them to go without masks either cuz although they're technically not putting other families at risk there's still the ride operator who has to stay close to keep an eye on the ride while it's running so we're right in firing line when they start screaming >.>. Aside from that we also have to get our temperature taken before we sign in (customers too) and they try and make us work with the same people as much as possible so if anything happens it's secluded to that bubble, but we were really short staffed last year so it didn't really work out very well.

Well, as I work in a hotel, we have way less guests (sometimes 1 to 2 rooms are occupied) so the workload is heavily lifted. Masks are obligatory as well as disinfection every hour. Hotel bar is open only for the hotel guests, so no workload on bar and restaurant staff either.

I work in a car manufacturing factory, so we had to shut down operations entirely for 3 months. After that, we slowly reopened in phases, first letting only 25% of the workforce come in, and running only one shift instead of 3. There were also a lot of safety and quarantine procedures put in place. Some cafeterias were closed and seating was reduced to socially distance people, automatic sanitizer machines installed everywhere, temp scans done while entering and leaving, face masks made obligatory and so on.

We resumed full operations after a few months but we need to ensure all Covid related instructions are still followed.

Additionally if you apply for leave and travel outside, upon returning back you have to mandatorily check in to our Occupational Health Center and get an unfit certificate which quarantines you for 3 days. After that you get tested, and if found negative, you may rejoin work.

Public are not allowed in our chambers. Any document or file goes into a uv chamber before it reaches our hands. Saturdays are holidays for us and the office is sanitized. If you have any flu-like symptoms, you get 4 days paid leave and if you don't get any better, you come back only after getting tested negative.

Oh and face masks are compulsory, we even wear two each at the same time. Hand sanitizing machines are installed outside every chamber.

I don't really work there anymore but we are REALLY low on staff now, we only have like one to two people come in a day. We barely have any dogs or cats that board, and about four times a day everyone has to go around and sanitize everything. In close proximity spaces or when in the lobby you MUST wear a mask.

But really that's about it.

Office is open, but I have to take my temperature before I go in, if I want to go in. We're allowed to take our masks off only if we're at our own desk. We have to clean our space before and after use, and anything in the break rooms/printing rooms we use. Have to stay 6' apart, so coworkers who usually sit by you can't anymore.

I now work from home; my company loaned me a laptop to use for work purposes (they don't want people using their personal computers because of patient privacy laws). My supervisor is doing what she can to keep me working from home, as I have a two-hour commute each direction; to top it off, some of my bus routes have been cancelled due to the pandemic.
