My 'Coping With Covid Protocols' that I put together over the quiet Winter months, which my colleagues mocked me for as they said they wouldn't be needed by Summer 2022, have been put into effect this past week and have been proved to be successful! We had a little 'mini outbreak' of sorts, with a couple of families and a member of staff all testing positive on the same day, so we upped the cleaning schedule and gave free LFTs to everyone they had been in close contact with, and gave people designated seating and designated servers in the eating areas over the weekend. Gavin had always worried that we'd cause a panic and get bad publicity if we tried something like this, but actually everyone was really appreciative of our extra efforts and thanked us for our honesty when we informed them of the situation. No-one moaned about having their arrangements changed very slightly, no-one said we'd ruined their holiday, they just quietly got on with what we asked them to do then happily got on with their lives.
I guess we've all got so used to doing nothing over the past two years that small inconveniences are a small price to pay if it means we can get back to doing what we used to. The families that we asked to isolate for a few days were fine about it all, too. The mum, especially, was worried about spreading anything and causing problems for other groups, and they were overjoyed when we said they could come back later in the year, for free, as a thank you. "I don't think there's anywhere else in Britain that is offering something like said," she said, with tears in her eyes.
