I think that in the now there may be some uncertainty about others for various reasons. I think you can alleviate your second bullet point by pre-empting it and saying, "Feel free to have a snack. Sit where ever you like. Just because I am wearing a mask does not mean that I expect everyone to wear a mask."
There is a lot of feeling others out on a lot of things. We had a disability inclusion talk at my company, and this lady who came to give the talk said she was talking to the leader of some org a year or two earlier while wearing a mask. That other leader tucked her hair behind her ear, and that showed that she was wearing a hearing aid so the person with the mask asked "Would you like me to take my mask off so you can see my lips?" (Once she noticed the hearing aid, she wanted to be inclusive of the person who might need to lip read.)
