9/28 Adjustments with Covid-19

October 9, 2020 by mestaton

Although I may be on campus this semester, there are certainly some changes due to COVID-19. Everyone in the museum is required to wear masks and socially distance. Roughly two weeks into my internship, a friend of mine had to go into quarantine for two weeks since they were suspected for being in contact with someone who was positive. Since the staff of the Salem Museum is relatively small, I decided it would be best for me to work remotely for two weeks as a precaution. Then a week after returning someone I worked with started to show covid symptoms and I continued to work remotely for another week as they waited for their test results. Luckily neither one of them tested positive for corona virus but I am happy that everyone is taking preventive measures to keep students and staff safe. Working remotely did not give me as much hands on experience but it did give me the skills to be flexible in my work.
