“What protocols are you following?”

It’s an appropriate question - especially now. When making an appointment or reservation, ask the question.

Where appropriate, most establishments have precautions in place, but I’ve seen that nothing should be taken for granted.

I am shocked to learn that some establishments where one might reasonably expect to see a sign “Masks Required” as well as other protections like encouraging social distancing, are not doing so.

There should be no surprises or mistaken assumptions when your health and safety are at risk.

If you’d be uncomfortable or feel unsafe or prefer not to expose yourself to risk, ask first....
