It is the case that the pandemic is not over. We do need to continue providing for this type of discretion. It's also the case that those who work in our justice sector are actually essential workers. They don't have a choice about coming to work; whether it's the court takers, the registrars, judges, the defence counsel, members of the police force, or prosecutors. It's also the case that those who are arrested and charged, witnesses, and victims don't have a choice but to interact in a confined space in circumstances where they may need further protection. That goes for jurors, of course, as well.
