Yes...? Isn't that what healthcare workers did before COVID? Why would that be controversial?
If my doctor or nurse isn't wearing a mask I get the same gut reaction as if they're smoking a cigarette. They are, of course, free to do that on their own time, but when they're at work I expect them to be professional and health-conscious. That includes wearing a mask.
My care providers didn't and don't wear a mask every time I visit, though they do maintain a reasonable distance. They do around sick people though.
The post makes it sound like healthcare providers are expected to always wear a mask, which is ridiculous. They should wear a mask about as often as they did pre-2020, more if there's a COVID surge or something.
