. @CHEO has dropped its mask requirement, tho staff must comply if patients ask them to mask. ‼️ I would argue that the “ask” to not come out of a hospital sicker than you went in is implied at all times...esp for kids‼️ The mask mandate in hospitals/healthcare should stand.

Exactly. And I despair at the fact that hospital systems here haven't realised the very basic fact that if you wait until cases are very high to re-introduce masking, you're already too late. In healthcare settings, masking should be universal and constant.
