Wearing masks and standing 6 feet apart make it harder to communicate. Here are some tips:
Have your communication partner’s attention.
Face your partner directly. Ensure nothing is blocking your view.
Talk a little louder.
Talk a little slower.
Use your hands and body language.
Ask your partner if he or she understood you. If not, say it differently or write it down.
Move to a quieter place.
Ask if you can do anything to make communication easier for you both.
