Close contact isolation and mask rules to change in Vic from this Friday. Its probably time to do it, but it'll be interesting to see what psychological approach the public will take, given that close contacts no longer have to isolate.
Work is already thinking about maintaining isolation rules for a while longer, as we have some critical processing to perform over the next couple of months, that cannot fail. If close contacts come into the office and infect core operations, it would have a severe impact. Not sure if they can legally enforce isolation rules though?
The new rule requires close contacts to wear masks in public, but lots of people are still voluntarily wearing masks. Will masked up individuals get treated like leppers? Curious to see what the reaction would be if someone walked into a meeting room with a mask on after Friday.
