Many offices around the world have been closed for over a year now and many people have been working remote during that time, including us. Now, with vaccines becoming more widespread, it's starting to look like the pandemic is winding down and people will begin to transition to office life again. A lot of people are wondering what this will look like, will we still wear masks, and will we be in the office five days a week again? Will returning to the office after COVID look the same?

When will we return to the office after COVID?


Around the world, restrictions are easing and some people have already been called back into their offices. While other companies have gone ​remote permanently​. The pandemic has shown that some work can be done remotely and the office is just an added cost, others have decided that people can work remote part time and in the office part time. It all depends on 


What will returning to the office look like?


Just because you are returning to your office, doesn't mean that everything is normal. The ​CDC outlines​ some guidelines for returning back to the office in safe manner. This includes following much of the advice you've heard for the last year, like wearing a mask, maintaining a distance of six feet when possible, washing your hands often, and limiting interactions with others with possible. We know that it's not always possible to do all these things, but being aware of your surroundings and limiting any kinds of dangerous interactions will keep you safer. Also, if you start feeling sick, you should stay at home if possible to prevent infecting others. 


While we can't guarantee that as soon as you go to the office, everything will be normal, it can give a better sense of normalcy. When you do return to the office, if you haven't already, remember to stay vigilant and minimize your risk of catching coronavirus. If eligible, consider getting vaccinated to protect yourself and others from spreading COVID further.
