No, masks are not required by me on Long Island... except at my son's eye doctor. Go figure.

I went to draw blood last week and masks were clearly optional. No signs and I saw maybe only 2 people wearing masks. My dentist has been masks optional for quite awhile now. I don’t know about local hospitals. I know if I had to sit in an ER waiting room though I would wear a mask. But, masks wearers are pretty much in the minority now. Maybe less than 10%. This is SoCal, which was pretty stringent on masks.

It's optional now at my hospital and clinic. I'm not sure when they lifted the requirement because we had to wear them last fall when I took my brother for his cataract surgery. They do require that you wear them if having any respiratory symptoms.
I do still see some people wearing masks, even in the grocery store.
Unrelated but I had to schedule a home visit with my internet provider the other day and they called me before the technician arrived to ask if anyone in the household had any covid symptoms. Our AC service does the same when they come for routine maintenance.

The health system I work for no longer requires them with the exception of the oncology unit. They do ask that if you have any type of respiratory symptoms that you wear one.

I don’t know if it’s required here, but I had a mammogram a week or two ago and they had a sign up saying their employees were wearing them for our health. I grabbed one out of my car and returned the favor. ...because you are awesome.
