    Let's just move on and stop letting COVID-19 run our lives. Each one of us can take the healthcare measures we feel comfortable with. Those who want to mask, should mask, but enough of the mandates and telling other people how to take care of their health.

    I wonder if the same companies who don't implement simple mitigation measures like wearing masks are the same employers whining about their staffing issues. People don't want to get sick from COVID at work.

    We're a health care company so follow all CDC guidelines, meaning masks are mandatory indoors until the next time the directives change.

    Absolutely not. It's time to move on.

    We are considering returning to a mask requirement but have not yet made a final decision.
