No More Masks at Doctor Offices?

I’m in Germany. Mask mandates at doctors offices and other medical facilities was removed at the end of March. My GP still asks that you wear a mask if you are coming in with a respiratory infection.

I don’t know about countrywide but locally they are expected to ge worn in medical facilities.

.mine does as well, but they did prec-covid as well

Most of my doctor's offices have dropped the requirement. It wasn't the end of the world to wear one but I am glad I don't have to anymore.

My son had ortho surgery last Thursday at a hospital that was pretty well-known for mandatory mask-wearing (Methodist for the locals). I was surprised that we didn't have to wear masks at the hospital anymore. I had just gone to my ortho in the same system last month, and they were still requiring masks at that time.

When I go to the doctors/hospital in Boston, still a mask requirement.

I’ve been to my dermatologist multiple times this past month and their sign says masks optional. He and the other physicians are wearing them but not their staff.

At the hospital I work in, it stopped being compulsory about 3 weeks ago...some of us are still wearing them though.

At my doctor it's not required, but the doctor I see still wears an n-95 (I don't know why) so out of respect for her, I still wear a surgical mask when I see her.

Not in doctor’s offices. There’s still required in hospital settings along with urgent cares and I had to wear one for my CT scan in the office.

In Florida but same...except I'm not sure it ever WAS mandatory...at one point DeathSantis mae it illegal to require masks

Sort of a mixed bag where I’m at (Chicago).

I’ve been accompanying my mom for several medical appointments and one hospital visit. In her medical network, mask-wearing has been optional since the last week of March.

In my medical network, however, the mask mandate was still in place as of April for hospitals but not doctors’ offices. But when I went to my derm, I was still required to wear a mask. So, I don’t know what’s up with my network—it just seems arbitrary.

Any medical related facility still has mandatory masks. Hospital, Diagnostic Center, Doctors Office, Lab, Dentist, Eye Doctor. All require masks. I really wish they didn’t because I have mild to moderate hearing loss and it makes it really tough to always hear what people are saying. I’m “that” old lady every one hates because I often need things repeated. Yes, I’ll say it - “it is what it is”.

I really glad I don’t have to wear one at the hairdressers. I’m getting a cut and color on Friday and as much $$$ as I’m spending, I want her to be able to see what she’s doing! I had a couple of wonky haircuts because of that darn mask.

Kaiser lifted them in early April.

That is just wild to me. I'll still be masking because I dont need anyone else's germs
