Life in the Covid red traffic light

It's been ten days since we left Covid Level 3 lockdown and moved to the red traffic light system.

For us, the main changes have been:

• Mama is back teaching in-person from home.  While some students are still preferring to have Zoom lessons, many are having lessons in our at-home classroom.  They stay socially distanced on opposite sides of the room, and keep the air circulating with the windows open and a fan going.  Scanning in is there, and Covid passes are shown.
• Mulan is back doing in-person ballet lessons at the dance studio (our dining room is back being a dining room again!).  With the exam on Saturday, she's having classes about every second day.
• Miya and I are back rock climbing in the gym, going three times a week.  Our hands are super-soft, and our endurance is way down, but we're steadily de-rusting.  It's tough climbing with a mask on, but much better than nothing.
• The girls have both got gymnastics and contemporary dance classes in-person again (exams for contemporary next Wednesday).
• The girls are both re-starting their in-person private music lessons at our place with their music teachers.

Mulan's school is not much different from before.  Mulan's swimming school decided not to restart classes for her level this year.  Miya's music school decided to continue classes online for the year.  Miya's clarinet exam is cancelled this year, and she'll do it next year.  And athletics is mostly the same as in Level 3 -- club nights and senior interclub competitions but no children's interclub competitions.

In other words, life is mostly normal now for us, except for the mask-wearing, scanning check-ins, and relaxed-but-continued social distancing.
