Since signs are only effective if people read … and follow … its message, an even wilder, outside-the-box tactic which COVID Conversations might try is to install a collapsible “doggie” gate in the office doorway. People would then perhaps think twice before carelessly entering the office. LOL

Excellent! Trader Joe’s stores have a sign at the check stands saying, “Customers, please stand in the yellow box.” And there I wait, in the yellow square conveniently panted on the floor. This makes me wonder where else some specific visual clues of a direct request might inmprove things. Thanks for the tips!

Was thinking the same thing as Joseph on this solution. When I had employees in cubicles who wanted to be “not disturbed” they put up little paperclip chains over the “doorway” so that those walking by knew to not interrupt or even to enter. A simple string sign stating “Trying to Social Distance” or “Please wear a mask if coming to this office” could be a visual reminder for coworkers.

I have a similar reminder on my floor. I’ve added a vertical fan with remote control as extra remedy.
