Healthcare facilities remain one of the last places left in the United States with COVID-era mask requirements still in effect.So, when is this change of policy coming to the Merrimack Valley?It's time for that to end, experts say.

COVID-19 has reached the point where it should be managed in a way similar to how other respiratory viruses are handled in hospitals, doctor's offices and long-term care facilities, the editorial argues.

In my case, being "elderly", I should still wear my mask in the hospital, although now I may be free to wear a KN-95. I wear my mask when I go up for Communion, or when I think I will be in another crowded place.
Hat tip to the InstaPundit.

♠ I would like to thank Mr John McDonough for the education that caused me to switch over to the KN-95 Mask for my normal usage.
