Covid relic

Objects, signs, rules, or behaviours created during Covid that are still hanging about years later, long after everyone mentally clocked out of the pandemic.

Usually found in workplaces, GP surgeries, shops, or at the back of someone’s brain.

Common examples include:

“Keep 2m distance” floor stickers that everyone now stands on

Faded “How to wash your hands for 20 seconds” posters (with diagrams like it’s rocket science)

Perspex screens protecting absolutely no one

Hand sanitiser stations containing liquid that smells like regret

Signs saying “Masks must be worn” while nobody is wearing one

A workplace notice board still hosting a faded A4 paper of “new Covid rules”, long dead but not yet buried
"I knew the place was badly run when the reception desk still had a Covid relic telling me to keep my distance from a woman coughing directly into my soul.”
