How did you mark the shift from level four to level three? A burger? Welcoming someone into your bubble? Going back to work?
Between 70 per cent and 80 per cent of the country's workforce is now back at work, at least in some capacity. But things aren't anything like normal. Some just still aren't able to do much work at all.
While that's frustrating, it doesn't mean you have to stop everything. If you have staff stuck without work, you might be able to deploy them to get you prepared for when we do finally shift to level two.
So far, I've seen businesses tasking staff with rebooking appointments that should have fallen during the lockdown, preparing safety plans and strategising for the business's future in what is likely to be a tougher operating environment.
You may be able to use this time to get ready to get back to work in better shape.
If you depend on other businesses to get by, even being able to open your own doors won't help particularly.
