Hope everyone is ok.

But what happens in these situations when people go back in? That newspaper report tells a familiar story about staff saying no social distancing.
Are they more strict on enforcing it? Staggered starting times etc? Because surely if that happens AFTER the event it shows that it wasn't being done beforehand.
