Today (27 Apr 2020) was the first day I went back to work in the office full time. It was great seeing all my colleagues again, though noisy; however, spirits were high as was productivity and focus. On the other hand, we're all still wearing masks, keeping our distance (as much as possible), and practicing hand hygiene, and desk/equipment disinfection. We're also maintaining these practices at home.
In the last four months, I've seen the office for about a maximum of 4 weeks all told.
So, what's changed?
This is the first day (27 Apr) the city has opened to "normal" after approximately 4 months of voluntary self-isolation.
Current COVID-19 cases: 1,038
Recovered: 772
Deaths: 4
No changes for about 4 days now.
