Jose Cardoso is one of the two security guards at Jonathan Law. Like all members of the Law community, Cardoso’s days are a lot different now due to Law’s COVID-19 protocols. Advocate Entertainment Editor Jess Owens interviewed Cardoso about the changes established at Law for this school year.

Jess Owens: How has COVID-19 changed your job?

Jose Cardoso: It’s changed in that there’s we are trying to keep everyone following the one-way patterns that have been established. A majority of it is trying to make sure the students are following the social distancing policy and wearing their masks.

JO: Do you like this change better than what you normally do?

JC: I think the change is working. Do I like it? No, because Law is a community that’s always social where we all like to talk to each other and see how each other’s days going, and now it seems like everybody is distancing themselves a little bit. It’s hard to get to know some of the new students with everybody wearing masks, so I would rather go back to what we were.

JO: What are some new things you had to start doing this year?

JC: Some of the new rules we had to make were shutting down the bathrooms during passing time, obviously the one-way directionals in the hallway during passing time, and students are required to wear masks at all times. Everybody usually complies but there are some issues here and there.

JO: With the new protocols, do you see less hallway traffic?

JC: Yes, there is definitely less hallway traffic, which I guess is good in a way because we’re following the rules. We’re probably going to end up beating this thing if we just follow the rules.

JO: What’s your general message you would like to share with the Law community?

JC: Wear your mask, follow the social distancing policy, and if we do everything correctly, hopefully we’ll be back to normal sooner than later.
