IDCs/Dual Sign Off during COVID pandemic

Sorry if this has been asked already...

Is anyone suspending requirements for independent double checks/MAR dual sign offs to minimize staff entry into rooms?

If yes, what medications have you retained the IDC requirement for? I'm being asked by our Nursing Leaders to consider this and am trying to think it through (and not freak out in the process :)).

Hope everyone is hanging in there!
