What Covid Restrictions or precautions are changing where you are? Here in Colorado, some settings still have masks where others are optional. Just informed today we no longer have to check our temperature upon entry or answer symptom questions. I work in long term care.

I'm in Canada. Based in a long term care hospital. We still screen digitally via app before work,and are masked all shift. Temperature checks for staff ended quite a while ago.

Clinical staff still wear surgical masks with patients. Patients are asked to wear them in open areas (waiting room) with other patients but can remove them in the room if desired. [Most never wore them correctly or worn an effective n95 mask anyway]. We’re in a more rural area so we never really saw a surge of any significance or nearly the severity of illness that more urban areas saw.

I literally just read (today) how California is getting ready to no longer require COVID vaccinations nor masking for hospitals, correctional facilities, emergency personnel etc. however California is having a surge in COVID cases right now. I was on Apple News while reading the “possible” reasons behind it. Here are the titles to the 4 news articles that were mentioned and were all written by The San Francisco Chronicle. In fair disclosure, I haven’t read all of these yet so don’t come at me!

I have COVID delayed vacations planned for the last week in August and the first week in October.

Should I just cancel one of them? Or should I at least put both on the table and see what they say? They're going to hire me either way, but I wonder if it's a bad start to ask for both.
