again.
- Change on definition of a critical work: everything that leads to operation is from now on considered a critical work (official communication will be send by e-mail).
- Tomasz J. says interlock tests in SA1 tripped the laser interlock due to the Seeder connection to the interlock. 
Andreas G. says there are care been taken to prevent this in future. More discussion will follow.

CTRL:
- Updates were done on the time servers and data loggers.

VAC:
- VAC OCD was involved in the absorber EPS issue.
- Today around lunchtime the XTD6 and XTD9 will be closed.

PRC/EEE/VAC/XPD OCDs solved by manually telling the system it is closed.
- Wrong bunch number sent to XGM: SA3 toroid was moved to a different position and the old name was not valid anymore. 
Info from this toroid was not received and the consequence XGM was receiving wrong bunch numbers. This makes impossible for the XGM to calculate correctly the number of 
bunches. 
Doocs servers were not updated (these programs would need to be informed of new naming).

MID:
- Joerg H. raises the question on the FFP2 usage recommendation. Sandra Plett says the document containing guidelines will be prepared (hopefully today); 
It is mandatory to use FFP2 masks if you are not alone; it also depends on the room size and at the moment it is 3-5 people in the hutches with mandatory use. 
A. Galler says these are the current regulations and maybe this will change in future.

HED:
- Nothing to report.

SCS:
- Nothing to report.

- Use of FFP2 masks in experiments control hutches:  Sandra Plett informs rules such as temporary stop of work after 75 minutes of mask use or a day off after two working days with masks are not mandatory - these are only a recommendation; If two people are <1.5m, one has to use masks. While Seated or alone you can remove the masks; However, if there are people running around, please use masks also if seated; The wearing time is just a recommendation - it is not mandatory to make the break.
