  Getting a COVID-Safe Haircut

  With COVID-19, even things as simple as getting a haircut were never the same. The photo above shows what that looked like. In Bahrain, where I live, hairdressers were closed down in March and were only reopened months later. When they finally did, patrons and customers had to abide by certain restrictions. There was only a fixed number of customers allowed in. Body temperatures had to be taken. Contact details had to be provided for the purposes of contact tracing in case anyone was exposed to the virus. Masks and face shields were mandatory for the persons giving the haircuts. Moreover, many people seem to not want to handle cash, and as a result, cashless payments are more popular than ever. This reflection was submitted as part of the HIST30060 Making History project at the University of Melbourne. HIST30060.

  Post Office Safety Signs

  Most businesses in Orange, CA closed when the governor first announced the stay at home order in mid-March. One of the businesses to stay open is the post office. It has become all the more important as people try to stay connected and still continue with daily life as best they can. The Post office has a number of safety measures put in place for their customers: signs like the picture above listed in about 8 languages, plexiglass dividers between postal worker and attendant, and signs on the floor to practice social distancing. *Original text in Contributor: Joey Dorion took the photograph

  Checkerboard Notices

  Since the quarantine was declared in California, the local branch of Wells Fargo that I use has been filling up their windows with more signs and announcements. With each new development or health recommendation, a new sign went up. It has reached the point where you cannot look through the doors anymore because of the number of postings.
