Where TF is this nonsense about "masks while moving around campus, not in teaching rooms" coming from? Let's not worry about accumulating viral aerosols in teaching rooms, after all. With a different group in every hour. But - not an issue, apparently. I can only think that they've copied the idea from schools last academic year. The logic of this in schools (so far as there was any) was 'bubbles' - but we don't usually teach in 'bubbles' at Univ, since it's both standard *and* deliberate that groups change for different activities (e.g. lectures vs seminars vs tutorials). Although... at this stage it would just be helpful to know what our Univ is planning. They may have told the THE, but they certainly haven't told the staff.
