Not stand in a group, not have a family party, not have a mini-rave but walk in the street .
Not ideal by any means but if maintaining social distancing even if only partially still a good move.

Same here Paula.
I went to my local Asda yesterday, and none of the staff walking about were masked, neither were a couple of the customers that I saw either.
I can't be sure, but I don't think the staff on Customer Services were masked either.
Wilko's sprays for sanitizing tolley handles were both empty, and Iceland had run out of paper towels to wipe baskets with - although in all fairness, when I mentioned it in store, both shops said they would refill immediately.

They are subject to the H&S rules of their employer
This is important to understand because those members of staff are certainly not breaking the law that's being discussed so it is not fair to blame them.
From the government website: "Face coverings are not required by law for employees as employers already have a legal obligation to provide a safe working environment. Employers should assess the use of face coverings on a case by case basis depending on the workplace environment, other appropriate mitigations they have put in place, and whether reasonable exemptions apply."

OK Havenview, so employees don't have to wear masks.
But that doesn't mean they cannot be carriers of Covid, nor pass it on, just the same as the rest of us, and what about staff catching it from the public too?
They are not protecting themselves at all are they.
