Is there clear guidance on what we should be doing with our COVID Signage?  Should it stay in place, can it go or is it 'horses for courses'?

What signage are we taking about: telling people to stay at home if ill or get themselves vaccinated  or those arrows showing people which routes, they should be taking in the one way system?

I have not looked at the websites recently, have you checked them?

I suspect that Covid is no longer a priority and it’s been forgotten about.

thanks 1 user thanked A Kurdziel for this useful post.

Mostly nudges/circle signs on the floor and signs by hand sanitiser (COVID protocols).

As there is nothing remaining regulations wise regarding COVID, the majority, if not all schools I deal with have removed every single bit of signage regarding COVID.

Schools are not required to have a covid 19 risk assessment anymore but are recommended to still consider the potential spread of infection from any form of virus etc

Some schools still have the covid reminders to wash hands in toilet areas, to close toilet lids before flushing,  sanitiser stands are still in place in some schools with signage, but there is nothing in law that states you have to do anything anymore.

Likewise, the majority of buildings no longer have the COVID SECURE poster either.

It's now, and has been for some time now, a personal preference if you have any signage relating to covid controls.

To second this, this is the case for my LA areas too no requirement for anything covid related anymore but a move to focus on infection control across the board.

There isn't any specific guidance but we have renewed the 'now wash your hands signage' and we are keeping the additional santisers in place.  Also for now, we have kept the screens at reception areas as we consulted with the team and they did feel a bit exposed being front facing.

Floor markings are slowly going, at the moment just in busy areas like reception however we are finding it looks worse removing them because of the flooring stains from the tape etc.
