It has nothing to do with patient “input.”

On paper, yes. In reality, nothing changed from last week to this week that would cause a change in policy. I imagine that the parent company (Honor Hospital) has discretion for stricter rules, or possibly to suggest masks with actually requiring them (without telling anyone).

Let’s say someone in that office had been exposed to measles. They would mask up to protect other patients. Stuff like that is very local, and isn’t announced.
